The Curse is Broken (and so is my foot!)

Published by on September 26, 2011 | 5 Responses

I think I’ve finally broken that Kim Hargreaves curse of mine! Still is finished and I’m very pleased. How did I manage to finish so quickly?? That would be because I’ve been off from work since Tuesday after a small operation on my foot. OK,OK so the foot isn’t exactly broken – but I did […]

Elizabeth – Too Damned Big

Published by on September 11, 2011 | 10 Responses

After putting in the effort to finish Elizabeth, I’m disappointed to find, she’s turned out too big 🙁 This really isn’t helping my lack of knitting mojo! I think she wearable but not the sleek, elegant fitted look I was expecting…see what you think…. From Elizabeth It’s ok over the hips but huge under the arms. Mewsley […]

Ohhh, Cashmere….

Published by on May 8, 2011 | 13 Responses

The green cashmere delight is done. Against the background of the most dull DIY project possible …painting the hall stairs, landing, coat cupboard and airing cupboard plain white instead of a horrid dirty, dark cream which was probably painted on 20 years ago… …With hands so rough from 2 days  sanding down paintwork that I […]

I Need You for Socks!

Published by on April 3, 2011 | 6 Responses

“I need you for Socks!”, I said as I burst into the room. Ben looked simultaneously excited, confused and a little bit scared. “No, I said SOCKS – put these on and make pretty for the camera”, I said as I waved my latest piece of commuting knitting at him…. “Oh”, said Ben, “Socks…” He […]

Resolutions and Finishing Off

Published by on January 29, 2011 | 8 Responses

I had forgotten that last new year, the Guilty Knitters and I had made knitting resolutions. And that Jane had written them down. (Damn her!) We had much hilarity, thanks to Jane’s careful note taking, rediscovering these knitterly resolution and admitting by how much we had each succeeded or failed. My resolution had been to […]

The Joy of Late Trains

Published by on January 23, 2011 | 4 Responses

Knitting has a wonderful ability to change my response to situations. My trains have been late, cancelled, crowded and generally a disorganised mess since the snow in December. MPs are now involved and there is a growing call for Southeastern Trains to loose their franchise all together. As a beleaguered daily commuter on this shabby […]

Finished Flag

Published by on January 9, 2011 | 12 Responses

I have  finished Flag and it’s great! A couple of evenings of dull garter stitch and careful seam sewing for the sleeves and I was done 🙂 The pattern did call for a crochet edging all around the edge but I have not done that. Partly because crochet now aggravates a tendon in my elbow […]

Do you ever get one of those knitting projects you just can’t put down and they are a delight in every detail? I’ve just finished one of those rare beasts – lucky me! 😀 I cast on “I’m a Little Teapot” on last Saturday with the intention of it being my new commuting project – […]

Exciting News and a Hat…

Published by on December 11, 2010 | 17 Responses

I started a new new role with work 3 weeks ago and it has stolen all my knitting time. 🙁 Well… the new role plus the horrendous commuting through the 14″ snow  stole my knitting time. I’m in an area where an inch of snow that stays two days is considered an ice age!! More on […]

With all the fun of sorting out the Knit-Room, the only knitting that has been done has been a gift for a baby – Let me tell you how that started… While working together,my friend and colleague, James, made the fatal mistake of complimenting my laptop wallpaper and asking what it was… This picture… From […]
