Super Noodles!

Published by on March 21, 2008 | 1 Response

I’ve been doing more unknitting. Or frogging, or unravelling, or unpicking to give it a few other names (that’s just the polite ones). This time I was unknitting Keats. I thought I’d show you a quicker way of actually unravelling the knitting…. All I did was start a section off then thread the end of […]

Unknitting

Published by on March 15, 2008 | 6 Responses

There’s heaps of information out there on how to knit a garment but it occurred to me, I’ve not often seen how to unknit a jumper? Or “Frog” a garment to give it it’s official internet knitters’ accepted name. (Hence my post being called “Frog City“.) For those who are not up on the latest […]

Top Secret Project…Shhhh!

Published by on March 12, 2008 | 6 Responses

Great excitement today!! The postman arrived with a Special Delivery Parcel for me – but I can’t tell you what was in it! I’ll explain. I saw a plea from KnitOnTheNet for sample knitters to help with testing patterns and knitting samples for the republication of Jane Waller’s book A Stitch in Time. The book […]

Goodbye Old Favourite and Hello New Version!

Published by on February 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

I have finally accepted that a favourite old handknit top of mine needs to go in the bin. I love it to bits but it has been regularly worn, machine washed and tumble dried and has now shrunk to the point where it is a crop top showing way too much belly! Here is my […]

Country Pursuits

I really must try and keep my blogging as fast as my knitting! I finished off my Earth Stripe Wrap Sunday and started a new project – I’ve nearly finished it and I haven’t shown it to you yet! 😯 It is in super thick yarn so it’s not entirely surprising it’s so quick… Its […]

Stripes and Tassels

Published by on February 3, 2008 | 5 Responses

The Earth Stripe Wrap (ESW) has whizzed along, despite me having my attention diverted by the Petal Bib and the green Snuzzle Scarf! I reached the pattern decreed length of 148cm – Phew. Two full pattern repeats and another 60 rows. Hmmmm….Yarn amounts are an annoyance again. To get to the 148cm point, I’ve had […]

KSH Shame…

Published by on January 24, 2008 | 5 Responses

I now need a self indulgent, luxurious project. Something beautiful to wear, soft as a kitten’s belly fur and ideally something I can use some of my every growing stash on. Did I ever tell you about when I used to travel to “the London office” every Friday? Friday lunchtime could only mean one thing. […]

Knitting for Ben

Published by on January 16, 2008 | 1 Response

You may have noticed from my list of projects on my Blogiversary post that only one garment was for Ben – the Brooklyn jacket. Ohh, and a rather fine pair of Space Invader socks! I promise you that this was not because I’m a horrid selfish knitter or because of some kind of fear of […]

I’ve got Fat-Finger!

Published by on December 20, 2007 | 6 Responses

In case you’re wondering what’s happened to my Sanquhar gloves – I’ve had to put them down for a little while. Firstly, the tiny weeny 1.5mm needles were giving me blisters on my left index finger where I picked up the left hand yarn and scrapped the tip of the needle down my finger tip […]

Now the blog is fixed (fingers crossed)….back to blogging about the important stuff….Knitting! So….what do you think I did with the money I got back for the returned Cocoon yarn from the abandoned Iceland? Save it? Spend it on presents for Christmas? Pah! 😯 Like heck! It went straight back on yarn!! In knitting accountancy […]
