Airplane knitting

Published by on April 1, 2008 | 5 Responses

When I told you about my yarncrawl I mean, romantic weekend in Edinburgh, I forgot to tell you – we flew to Edinburgh…and I knit on the flight! It was a big decision, what to take to knit that wouldn’t offend airport security – a decision up there with what clothes to pack! I can […]

Goodbye Old Favourite and Hello New Version!

Published by on February 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

I have finally accepted that a favourite old handknit top of mine needs to go in the bin. I love it to bits but it has been regularly worn, machine washed and tumble dried and has now shrunk to the point where it is a crop top showing way too much belly! Here is my […]

Fairisle – it looked horrid on me!

Published by on February 23, 2008 | 3 Responses

This week I’ve been visiting my big sister, Carol and her lovely husband, Steve. While I was being spoilt rotten, 😀 I remembered to take some photos of a couple of Carol’s jumpers that I made. The first is a fair isle design from Rowan 38 called Electra – guess what?? It’s on the cover […]

Branwen – Now With Added Splodges

Published by on February 16, 2008 | 1 Response

I’ve finally finished Branwen. Doing the crocheted motifs took longer than I thought – not because they were difficult but because it still aggravates my wrist and elbow to crochet too much. I had to do a couple then leave it for a day. There are three sizes of motif and I chose three colours […]

All Wrapped Up

Published by on February 6, 2008 | 5 Responses

It’s done. The Earth Stripe Wrap is mine! Here she is… And the back view – please excuse the big bum! 😯 It’s warm and snuggly and I can see I’m going to be wearing it a lot. I ended up making it 175cm long so it could be flung over my shoulder with enough […]

Soft and Green Snuzzle Scarf

Published by on February 1, 2008 | 2 Responses

The Earth Stripe Wrap (ESW) is coming along well. I’m into the third pattern repeat and, to be honest, its getting a bit boring now. Absolutely beautiful but I’m fed up with changing colours! 😕 I’d show you a picture but it’s just more of the same… When I got home from Yarncrawl2 with this […]

Baby Blue Bib…

Published by on January 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

I need a bit of a break from The Earth Stripe Wrap. Fun as it is, I felt the sudden urge to do something that wasn’t back and forth Stocking Stitch! Tracey, a barista at the Starbucks where we Guilty Knitters meet each Sunday, is due soon and we decided to each knit her a […]

Blue, Blue, Electric Blue….

Published by on January 22, 2008 | 7 Responses

Or that should be… “Blue, blue, tealy blue. That’s the colour of Ben’s new top .That I just Knit!……Blueooooooo!” (to be warbled to the tune of “Sound and Vision“….) Apologies to all David Bowie fans out there. I couldn’t resist – at least you couldn’t hear me singing that – I knit far, far better […]

Swamp Donkey and Cherish

Published by on January 14, 2008 | 11 Responses

Why haven’t I posted for so long? Because I have been laying under a duvet on my sofa being a flu ridden Swamp Donkey (American slang for a moose that lives in the swamps or colloquial slang for a deeply unattractive woman) I’m not pretty when I have the flu….I look kinda like this… In […]

Ombre – Zigged and Zagged

Published by on December 31, 2007 | 1 Response

Did I finish Ombre for Christmas?? I’m sorry to confess… No. I got overwhelmed by the usual baking, turkey stuffing, shopping, eating, entertaining “fest” that is Christmas. I decided I was putting myself under WAY too much pressure. I try very hard to keep knitting as my pleasure and indulgence. Forcing myself to knit to […]
