Completed Knit Report

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 […]

Accidental Hat…

Published by on December 4, 2007 | 7 Responses

I don’t usually give up on a project. I’ll take my time choosing then bludgeon my way through till it’s done. Intarsia, Fair Isle and lace have all been conquered at the pointy tips of my needles. This time was different though. I love the new Rowan yarn, Cocoon and have been contemplating a project. […]

Eveleen – She’s beautiful!!

Published by on November 22, 2007 | 14 Responses

****Warning **** ****This post includes a “horror” picture**** 😉 Do you remember Eveleen? She was this little beauty from Rowan 40… I had struggled and mastered the lace, knit the dinky little sleeves and done half of the evil, evil intarsia pattern when I, uncharacteristically, abandoned Eveleen in favour of my Blankie. OK – being […]

Sorry Judie – I finished it!

Published by on November 19, 2007 | 1 Response

Judie has been distracted by holiday knitting so I was given permission to continue with my Judie jacket. She knows how I hate a WIP hanging around…. I sat down for two evenings. Woosh! It’s done! 😀 It really is a quick, fun knit. My only real problem was finding some yummy buttons. I hunted […]

Blankie – Finished and Boiled!

Published by on November 11, 2007 | 5 Responses

Finally…. After two months of finger hurting perseverance, the Blankie is finished! The edging took an age but I found a way of making it a little easier. The edging, worked on a big circular needle, one side at a time, calls for 3 rows of Knit, then 3 rows of stocking stitch (Knit, Purl, […]

My Daisy Scarf Has Been Ravelryified….

Published by on October 10, 2007 | 7 Responses

If you read any number of knitting blogs, you will have already heard of Ravelry. I was luck enough to hear about Ravelry quite early on in it’s quest for Beta testers and got my invite in July. If you want to look me up, my username is the fabulously imaginative “susancrowe”…. For those of […]

When Felting Turns Bad….

Published by on September 24, 2007 | 11 Responses

My knitting news this week isn’t the stuff that will make an enthralling blog post…. I haven’t touched Eveleen but I’ve made lots more blankie squares (I’ve now done 30 out of 81 required!) There. That was dull huh? Don’t change channel yet readers! I think it’s time to share with you the reason I […]

Orford slips off the glass needles

Published by on July 31, 2007 | 7 Responses

I haven’t posted for a week. Bad Susan. Remember in my last post about Orford I said I’d need new wardrobes If I kept knitting so fast????? Well, I think Ben must be reading my blog – this week, at his suggestion, we have been redecorating the bedroom and researching new wardrobes!! I had dreams […]
