Cats Squabble Over Completed Haven!
I’ve had problems with the cats and Haven. It’s finished but there have been squabbles! Firstly, Mewsley has been rather jealous of all the attention Thug has been getting. She decided that SHE was going to do the snugglablity testing for Haven. After much pawing (and a little drooling) she decided that it was soft […]
Geno – The Knitty Gritty
You’ve had a sneak preview of Geno in action at I-Knit Day, now to give you the knitty gritty and the completed knit report. And some gratuitous Thug pictures because he was complaining (meowing) loudly that he hasn’t got enough blog time. So here she is, the finished Geno. I am still basking in the […]
Oooops – I’ve Finished Another One!
Would you believe I have finished another garment??!! I kinda twiddled with this one while I was working on Frappe and, all of a sudden, it was done! This hasn’t happened to me before . Finishing almost without noticing, I mean – I’ve finished the odd garment in my time! It’s Glace of course…. …Started […]
How Could I Forget to Blog This?
I was just looking at a Knitting Forum and saw a query about Rowan Tapestry. “I’ll add my two-penny’s worth into that thread”, I thought, “Where’s those piccies I used to blog about Ben’s “Serge” jumper I made in Tapestry?” I couldn’t find the pictures. I couldn’t find the blog post about the jumper. I […]
Coffee Frappe to Go
It’s finally sewn up. As you may have guessed, I didn’t do much sewing up on Frappe while I was enslaved I mean staying with Carol last week. The rest of the sewing went without incident once I sat down and did it. So here she is finished… I think she looks rather smart. A […]
One Skein Giotto Top – almost….
So. What do you do with one skein of stunningly lovely Giotto? I had found a pattern that called for one skein for my size. Unfortunately I think Colinette got a model who’d taken a few too many Valium… It’s from this Colinette book, called Westcountry It’s a simple variation on a ripple stitch – […]
Dull, Functional but Oh so Useful.
My blogging and knitting have been curtailed for the last couple of weeks – I seem to have hurt my hand somehow. In the syle of the old Tommy Copper joke that went, Patient : “Doctor, Doctor, it hurts when I do that….” (Waves arm) Doctor: ” Well, don’t do that then!” I decided to […]
These Socks are Cursed
I started my Fleece Artist socks way back in November 2007, as light relief from the incredibly difficult intarsia on Eveleen. I showed them to you, in passing, in my post about my stitch markers from B&Q! This was them back then… Since then, they have been sitting looking mournfully at me from the bag […]
I Love Hildegard
It seems like ages since I’ve been able to show you a finished garment I’ve made for myself. **Imagine sounds of frantic typing and checking*** Hmmm – it has been months! Back in February, I showed you Branwen! 😯 Time to rectify that shameful situation… Hildegard is finished and she is lovely! I finished sewing […]
It Fits!
I’ve just had the phone call I was expecting from birthday boy, Steve – His Bowie fits! I was pretty anxious about it – I had measured Steve carefully before I started but there was the grain of doubt. I am relieved and pleased. Steve really liked Bowie and was genuinely chuffed with it 😀 […]
