Getting Lost Has It’s Benefits
I’ve finished Ben’s Second Chance Hat.. See here for the reason for that name! I made particularly quick progress returning from Bristol on the train – for all the wrong reasons…. Happily head down and knitting – I looked up and didn’t recognise the next station… “This train is going to London Paddington isn’t it?” […]

At Last – The Flower Blanket is Done
The Flower Blanket is finally finished 😀 I am so relieved. First I must say, “Thanks you” for all the sympathy, empathy and support on my Despair Filled Wailing post – I think I’ve gotten over it now 😉 Before I show you the inevitable “Finished Blankie” pictures, I guess you’d like to know about […]

Something That’s Not a Blanket
You must be as bored with my “knitted some more blanket squares….” posts as I am trying to finish the damned Flower Blanket. Be assured I’m still slogging over the purple monster 😐 So just by way of some light relief for all of us, I’ve dug out an old, pre blog , never seen […]

I Like The B-Side Better…
I’ve really enjoyed the burst of creativity in making my Conservatory Cushion and I love the logic bound technique for combining the colours. Fabulous pattern 🙂 Here’s the finished creation… From Double Vision Cushion And in place in the conservatory… From Double Vision Cushion The slightly different gauge yarns I used (all apparently DK weight) […]

I’m now officially sick of this lace pattern!
I can’t believe I started Halcyon back in April. It’s taken me two and a half, very dull and uneventful months. To be fair, it has been delayed by my usual attack of SKS (Summer Knitting Slump) – there were a couple of weeks there I didn’t knit at all – shocking! I’ve also been […]

It made me the KSH junkie I am today…
Halcyon is storming along and so far, is a very enjoyable knit. I’ve made both of the peplums, picked up the stitches for the back – VERY carefully and neatly… From Halcyon and started rampaging towards the armholes … From Halcyon OK I say ‘rampaging’…I probably mean slowly and meticulously plodding through the rows, checking […]

Catching Up
Oh Boy! I seem to have blinked and it’s been over a month since my last blog post – Sorry readers – I’ve been bad and neglected you 🙄 First I was busy with work – but in a good way. Learning new stuff, meeting new people but under some tough deadlines, doing long days […]

Knitted Something I DO Like!
My blog posts have been a bit negative, whiney and full of knitterly woe lately – mainly when Big Wool is being discussed 🙁 High time I tell you about a project I really like 😀 Remember the beret I made for my sister that Thug modelled? This one… I liked it very much and […]

Worst EVER!
Three guesses how Ronnie, the Big Wool Sloppy Joe turned out… Here’s a clue… Yep, it’s bonfire time. I finished the beast last week but have been so disapointed, I couldn’t bring myself to blog it 🙁 It is huge. It’s probably too huge for my sister too. I fact – it’s too huge for […]

Hat Need
My sister has a hat need. I have needles, an obscene amount of yarn and knit skills. There’s only one way this can turn out 🙂 Given that my knitting has not been going well, I plumped for an easy option that I knew worked. Do you remember the Accidental hat? (Snug from Rowan 42) […]
