The Carol Cushion

Published by on June 28, 2009 | 8 Responses

OK. I admit it….my resolve has failed me and I got bored with the flower blanket. It has been put away, pending winter. I’m a bad, naughty knitter and a bad, delinquent blogger 🙁 It’s my sister’s fault really….she went and had a birthday right when I was struggling to apply myself – she distracted […]

Train Knitting and Nutters

Published by on May 20, 2009 | 12 Responses

The Knit’n’Commute  blankie production line has been going well but I’ve had my first nutter objecting to “train knitting” this week! I get on the mainline train and get my knitting out. Within three stitches the woman next to me pulls herself up to her  sour, scrub faced, puffed up height of self importance and […]

I Need More Knitting Time

Published by on April 26, 2009 | 4 Responses

I’d love to be able to post a picture of a massive chunk of completed blanket but the sad truth is – I’ve only just finished knitting the squares for the 5th strip…barely one strip knitted in a week and still the pressing and sewing up to do! At this rate this blanket will take […]

Annoyed Angels and Phoenixes

Published by on February 21, 2009 | 3 Responses

I’m sure I’ve mentioned the Angelyarns knitting forum on my blog before. I have spent a lot of time posting there and made some good friends.  It has been a valuable resource for me – friendly, funny and full of knowledgeable people who were happy to help. The bad news is that this forum has […]

Avoidance, Procrastination and Excuses

Published by on February 1, 2009 | 8 Responses

I’ve not done a lot of knitting in the last week or two. I have an excuse (this is where I need a note from my Mum)… ..I have STILL been sick with this cold/flu type virus thingy. I’ll spare you the gory details but suffice it to say, after two months of all the […]

The Good, the Bad and the Fabby

Published by on January 4, 2009 | 8 Responses

As you know, I have been chipping away at my Kidsilk Haze mountain, knitting the “Lacy Top with four sleeves”. That part is all “good”! The “bad” part was that I was getting very frustrated with all the yarnovers and my ancient, blunt metal needles -I’ve tried wood and bamboo with KSH – it doesn’t […]

How Many Sleeves?

Published by on December 30, 2008 | 4 Responses

There’s a regular “joke” in our house that goes something like this… Ben: “How’s the knitting going? Are you nearly finished yet?” Susan: “Quite well, Thanks Honey. I’m on the last sleeve” Ben: “The last sleeve? How many sleeves are there? !!” Ben walks away chuckling to himself and Susan rolls her eyes…. Then, of […]

Top Secret – Declassified

Published by on December 22, 2008 | 7 Responses

Do you remember, way back in March, how excited I was to be knitting as sample for KnitOnTheNet?  I first blogged it in “Top Secret Project – Shhhhh“.  The big downer of the project was that I couldn’t show it to you until the book it was for was out (understandable really!) Guess what, A […]
