Have I ever told you that I HATE having two WIPs in progress? I like to see project coming together quickly – if I have two WIPs on the go they take twice as long and I get frustrated! 😡 Those of you who have a long list of WIPs scare me! They would all […]

I finally did it. I completed grafting Keats. For those of you who didn’t witness the full horror of my monumental blunder, see the dissection of Keats here Arrghh, I’ve Broken My Knitting And the more hopeful start Ode to a Merino Yarn.

Two or three times a month on a Sunday, we rattle the doors of Starbucks at opening time, bag the best comfy seats with our knitting, grab a coffee then sit and spend the whole morning knitting, chatting, coffee drinking, “oohing” over each other’s knitting […]
