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
I promised to show you my first Sorrel, made with Yarn for the Soul’s light fingering in 2021. Fell in love with the “Midnight is a Lonely Place” colourway as it reminded me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night (just been to an immersive Van Gogh exhibition!!) – Can you see what I was seeing? Most […]

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!
I finished After the Rain a couple of weeks ago – Oh Wow do I love that yoke pattern! … but I only got around to doing the obligatory photo shoot today – Bad Susan! I won’t tease you – here she is… Last time I spoke to you I’d just started the yoke pattern […]

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 […]

On The Hook
“What’s on the needles now?”, I hear you cry! Erm actually it’s “on the hook” – Crochet hook that is. I’ve got a little Hat Crazy the last couple of weeks – it started with this! The Rowan Margarida Hat in Rowan Cotton Glace (or Handknit Cotton.) I knew I had a bag of left […]

Rocking Those Stripes
Here’s a FO that has just flown off the needles – The Rock It tee by Tanis Lavallee I’m so happy with this! I’ll show you my FO first… I fell in love with this at the Unravel Yarn Festival at Farnham Maltings in Surrey in February. Unravel is a wonderful yarn fest on independent […]
I do that too. I always put a stitch marker at my wrap and turns or I'd never recognize when…
What a beauty, I love it. As someone who also indulges in a little light trafficking , there is no…
It's beautiful. What a treasure. We used to smuggle wine/liquors when returning from Europe. Yarn seems much safer.
It's an unusually cold and wet summer here in England. 17C today! Sorrel was very welcome 🙂
Your advent fade really turned out well. I pink and purple one would be beautiful too. I can't imagine wearing…
