Israeli Knitting

Published by on July 20, 2008 | 3 Responses

I’ve just had a terrific week. After some serious looking, I’ve been offered a super job. 😀 My days of idleness and knitting are numbered! As an IT consultant, I expect that I’ll have to do some travelling but I promise my knitting will be my constant companion. I’ll keep you posted on the trial […]

More of Pooh

Published by on July 13, 2008 | 4 Responses

Frappe is storming along… I’m whizzing up the last sleeve today. Unfortunately there’s nothing interesting or exciting to tell or show you about it – quick, easy, looks good so far. So in the absence of exciting knitting news, want to see my latest embellished Poohs? (For anyone confused by that question see my post […]

Shopping cure for SKS

Published by on July 6, 2008 | 2 Responses

I keep saying I need a yarn sale. John Lewis kindly obliged me and are having their big, summer yarn sale. I think the rest of the store is having a sale too but let’s focus on what matters here! I really, REALLY don’t need to buy any yarn. Take a peek at the scary […]

Somebody Stole My Mojo!

Published by on June 29, 2008 | 2 Responses

Some body stole my Mojo! My knitting Mojo, I mean. You may have noticed that I’ve slowed down blogging…and knitting. Partly because I first injured my arm then had an incredibly painful upset tum. All I was capable of was slumping in front of the TV under a duvet and not knitting. This is the […]

Descent into Fuzzy Blackness

Published by on May 30, 2008 | 4 Responses

After my Ebay Boo Boo, I thought I should really give the Kid Soft a whirl. After all, it’s a Rowan yarn I’d never heard of, let alone knit with. It would be educational…. After some research, I found that there’s only two publications for Kid Soft. The Kid Soft Booklet and a “concertina card” […]

The Return to Hildegard

Published by on May 16, 2008 | 1 Response

That title is too good for a blog post! It should be an action movie, maybe an archaeology professor fighting Nazi baddies and hunting for the lost knitted treasures of Hildegard? The sequel could be “Raiders of the Lost Stash Box”?? But I digress. Back to reality – which isn’t quite as exciting. I have […]

Everybody Else’s Knitting

Published by on May 3, 2008 | 1 Response

I want to don’t bore you with my rapid but visually unexciting progress with Bowie, so I thought I’d show you what everybody else at “The Guilty Knitters” is making. (Click the link to see why we are Guilty!!) These ladies are unbelievably creative and prolific. The wonderful thing is that we all like knitting […]

…and now, some nice knitting!

Published by on April 29, 2008 | 1 Response

I need a pleasurable project! Fortunately, the next project in my queue fits the bill. Scrumptious yarn, rewarding pattern and for someone I love who will appreciate all the work that goes into it. On a trip to Get Knitted’s store in Bristol, Steve (the lovely husband of my sister Carol) reviewed every blueish DK […]

Top Secret – as done as it’s gonna get…

Published by on April 22, 2008 | 1 Response

Well, that’s it. I’m not knitting it any more. So there! Top Secret has run out of yarn before the end 🙁 The stitch it was in was bad. The enormous size was bad. The fact I was sample knitting and wouldn’t see it made up was disheartening. It has been so soul destroying I […]

Bored!

Published by on April 2, 2008 | 1 Response

I’m so bloody bored with knitting Top Secret, the sample I’m doing for Knit On The Net. It’s in a stitch with lots of knits and purls on each row so I can’t get up any real speed. The pattern pieces are straightforward and easy- I usually like a bit of a challenge. It’s also […]
