Ben Wants a Quickie.
Ben was very sheepish over Christmas (no wool related pun intended)…he was especially awkward when I was knitting… Finally he found the courage to confess the problem… …he’d lost his Iphone cosy I’d made for him – on the train – Grrrr!!! If you remember, readers, he also lost a hat I’d lovingly made for […]
It’s Very Green
Thug has been very busy preparing to move house. Fortunately he has still found time to help me with the finishing of Cheer. I would get mad at him sitting on my freshly blocked knitting but how could I resist this face? I did say Cheer wouldn’t take long but pressures of work, preparing for […]
Katia – another WIP becomes a FO
Do you remember Katia? The “Holiday knitting that didn’t make it“? Now the swine flu is completely gone and Ben and I have both recovered (thankfully) and the house move is steaming ahead (yipee) I was so ashamed of myself for having so many WIPs on the go, I’ve whizzed though and finished Katia! Katia […]
Swine Flu Aids Iris Productivity!
It was inevitable that I would get Swine Flu 🙁 The only good thing about regularly being hit with the sniffles is that I am well prepared and know how to make the best of it. My survival kit consisted of :- Ultra balm tissues Lemsip Scotch, lemons and honey – to make hot toddies […]
The Carol Cushion
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 […]
The Culling of the Wardrobe…
My wardrobes are overflowing – which is very bad as I remodelled to bedroom two years ago and made more wardrobe space! I’ve been very disciplined lately and taken great bags full of “stuff” to the charity shop. Now the hard bit…I need to cull the shelf where my hand knits live. I found three […]
Boring Commuting Socks
With a blog post title like that I’m amazed you’d want to read this!! I finished yet another plain of boring plain socks on my daily commute this week… Here they are…. Thrilling huh? Even Thug wasn’t too impressed. The yarn was actually rather fun – Kaffe Fasset Regia Design Line – the colour changes […]
Back Catalog Delving
I am finally beating the three months of constant coughs and colds! Yeah for me! 🙂 Unfortunately for my knitting, this means that I’m busy having nights out and enjoying myself to make up for lost time – rather than sitting home and knitting. What I’m trying to say is there’s not much knitting progress […]
Sackboy!
This was supposed to be a Valentine’s prezzie but I was a week late 🙁 Bad Susan. For those of you who don’t know , there is a Playstation3 game called “LittleBigPlanet” whose main character is Sackboy – a cute knitted character. I’ll show you the finished Sackboy so you know what I’m talking about… […]
APB for Lost Hat
I’ve had a strange and scrappy week or two- in my life and my knitting. And I’ve had a knitting related loss. The big news around here is that we’ve put our home up for sale – all those neatly painted, plain backdrops to my knitted creations could be yours -for a very large fee!! […]
