On The Hook
“What’s on the needles now?”, I hear you cry! Erm actually it’s “on the hook” – Crochet hook that is. I’ve got a little Hat Crazy the last couple of weeks – it started with this! The Rowan Margarida Hat in Rowan Cotton Glace (or Handknit Cotton.) I knew I had a bag of left […]
Rocking Those Stripes

Sea Glass Sweater
I definitely owe you some knitting eyecandy 😀 How about this? This is the fabulous Sea Glass Sweater by Wool & Pine. Made between Jan and March 2022.

Alabaster
I made Alabaster a year ago and never showed you – bad Susan!
Alabaster is a lovely green cable jumper I bought the stuff for at Ally Pally way back in 2015.
Making those cute little hats again…
EEk! I’ve not used my work Charity day!😲 We are strongly encouraged to use our one day a year for charity work – it’s a great idea 😍 Hmmm – what can I do? The obvious answer was the little hats for the Innocent Smoothies “The Big Knit” campaign for Age UK. I’ve blogged these […]
Teddy Bear Jacket
Here’s a really cute one I knit in under 2 weeks, over the Christmas break last year (2017). I can’t believe I didn’t blog this at the time! It came out very well – a really cute pattern 😍 The lovely Ben was due to meet his 6 month nephew, Noah, for the first time […]
