So Cute I Had to Have It.

Published by on October 26, 2010 | 7 Responses

I’m desperately struggling not to rush out and buy little boxes and ornaments and general fripperies for my Knit-Room.

But, but…… […]

I have been very jealous since “Project ManCave”. Project ManCave was where we took a nasty, grubby little bedroom full of boxes of Ben’s toys and general Geekery… From Knit-Room …redecorated, replaced the carpet with a lovely rug (which can be found at various NW Rugs locations) due to a leaking radiator incident… From Knit-Room […]

Taking Classes – Getting All Icelandic

Published by on September 14, 2010 | 6 Responses

So, the Kidsilk Haze workshop was a day of playing, experimentation and fluffy indulgence. The following day I was busy because I played in a Netball tournament for a work team – I’ve played once since school and that was last year’s tournament! A huge amount of fun but not much knitting there! Following Netball, […]

What a busy week – and most of it knitting related 😀 I have a back-log (back-blog? blog-log?) of blog posts for you – I just need the time to photograph and write them up – this beats struggling to find something interesting to say about purple square no.93! Part of my busy week has […]

Knitted Election??!!

Published by on May 4, 2010 | 5 Responses

The paint fumes probably are the reason…. …I seem to keep seeing knitting  where I shouldn’t…. …even in the election coverage! This strange and slightly worrying tenancy started when I was in Israel in 2008 (When I made Geno, and Hedera on holiday)…everyone else saw a sculpture dedicated to world peace…I saw…a giant ball of […]
