And I Had Most of This In Stash!

Published by on September 30, 2011 | 9 Responses

I think my mojo must be well and truly back because I think my next project is gorgeous! Here’s a clue…You should be able to guess the yarn at least (if you know my stash 😉 ) From Modern Quilt Wrap So did you guess it’s Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze? What else would be such a “Mojo […]

I’ve really enjoyed the burst of creativity in making my Conservatory Cushion and I  love the logic bound technique for combining the colours. Fabulous pattern 🙂 Here’s the finished creation… From Double Vision Cushion And in place in the conservatory… From Double Vision Cushion The slightly different gauge yarns I used (all apparently DK weight) […]

Ben Wants a Quickie.

Published by on January 20, 2010 | 3 Responses

Ben was very sheepish over Christmas (no wool related pun intended)…he was especially awkward when I was knitting… Finally he found the courage to confess the problem… …he’d lost his Iphone cosy I’d made for him – on the train – Grrrr!!! If you remember, readers, he also lost a hat I’d lovingly made for […]

This was supposed to be a Valentine’s prezzie but I was a week late 🙁 Bad Susan. For those of you who don’t know , there is a Playstation3 game called “LittleBigPlanet” whose main character is Sackboy – a cute knitted character.

Chunky Twisted Ribbon Cushion

Published by on January 19, 2009 | 4 Responses

I’ve accidentally designed a cushion! I’ve had a bit of a sore elbow – tendonitis probably. A friend of mine suggested knitting with my right arm resting on a cushion , and having a project on thick needles handy to alternate with the fine Kidsilk Haze project. The fine finger movements of tiny metal needles […]

For the Geeky Man Who has Everything

Published by on November 2, 2008 | 4 Responses

What do you knit for a very Geeky man (I say that affectionately) who has everything knitted he wants and a couple of items over that requirement? “Nothing!” I hear you cry, “Knit  for yourself!” Hmmmm…that might work but I’m a generous soul….some people even call me “pushy”… “You need a lovely scarf now the […]

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 […]

Afternoon in the garden….

Published by on July 15, 2007 | 4 Responses

I was very good Friday! I did all my household chores so the weekend would be free for more fun things like helping a friend clear brambles from her new allotment. Yep, I’m strange – I like that kinda thing! 🙂 After a hard day of chores I thought, “I’ll sit in the garden, watch […]

Spangle Gloves & Scarf Set Be-Ribboned and Finished

Published by on January 25, 2007 | 2 Responses

It’s All Done!!!I have finally finished these gloves after lots of frogging and swearing trying to get the second cuff right 🙂 They match the spangle scarf posted about here spangle-scarf-in-woven-cables and here spangle-scarf-done. Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by poking my fingers under the twists of cables and wondering how it […]

Spangle Scarf in Woven Cables

Published by on January 15, 2007 | 7 Responses

After my horror at the colour run with Ben’s Brooklyn jacket I’m not enthused sewing it up. I usually sew up really fast because I’m excited to see the end result – bah. To make myself feel better I have rewarded myself with a cheerful “easy” project I’ve been hankering after. From Knitting- WIP From […]
