So Beady, So Sparkly, So Beautiful
All reason deserts you. You don’t know when you’ll wear it but you have to make it because it’s so pretty and sparkly and beady and beautiful! I tried on the Extended Eyre Shawl from Coastal Colours and could not stop prancing around and posing in it. It had to be mine. The pattern was […]

Rock It Tee Two
Ben was flying off to Seattle again for work. Shamefully, I still hadn’t knit either of the beautiful skeins of yarn he had bought me back from Yarn Dragon in Pike Place. He’s a good man – going into a yarn shop on his own, discussing my yarn preferences with the staff and bringing back well chosen surprises. Although I have considered sending Yarn Dragon a photo of the lovely Ben with a message, “If you see this man looking for wife-treats, please send him home with XXX”!!! 🤔

Love My Advent Sorrel
Oh My! I really love this Advent Sorrel even more now it’s finished 😍 She is warm and soft and perfect for an English mid-summer (which is very cold this year). It took 3 different skeins of green to finish the sleeves (Which look a little long in this picture??). I managed to bend all […]

First Sorrel

Advent Sorrel – A Head-Scratcher
Advent Calendar mini skeins are delicious and addictive but a swine to use if you don’t want a shawl. Enter the Iridium inspired 2023 Advent Calendar from The Wool Kitchen. As it’s June it’s OK to show a spoiler of all the yarns in order… I loved the way they all blended and flowed into […]

Zakami Yarns Inspired Snuggly Jumper
Back from delinquent blogging after another health drama (under control now). After getting more and more tired and myself increasingly out of breath (like gasping for air after walking up the stairs or stopping several times walking up a hill that I ran up last year), I discovered I had several massive clots in my […]

After the Rain – Love it!

Jelly Roll Fever
I contracted Jelly Roll fever in summer 2021. It took eight pairs of socks and a year of fun to beat my obsession with these cute little socks into remission. I still fear for the safety of my sock yarn stash. I may relapse at any time.

Misurina Done!
Once I had finished the fairisle yoke, Misurina was finished at great speed! So happy! 😍 I won’t make you wait for a photo 🙂 I am very, very pleased with her. My fears about the fairisle pattern not showing up in the cream were unfounded – I love these colours – I think the […]
