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 […]

Zigs, Zags and Accountancy

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 […]

Insane Sanquhar Gloves

Published by on November 29, 2007 | 23 Responses

I’d spent a whole day at Ally Pally, enjoyed myself, bought some pretty things but hadn’t seen that one “to die for” project to make my heart race. In fact, I think I’d gone Wool-blind from seeing too much lovely yarn! Then I spotted a Japanese lady sitting at her stall doing the most incredible […]

Stitch Markers at B&Q???

Published by on November 17, 2007 | 4 Responses

Do you use stitch markers?? I do occasionally and I’ve just started a sock that needs one. I find the usual beaded dangley ones rather irritating. 😕 These are the thingies I mean.. OK. They were free ones from a magazine and “proper” ones might be nicer but I still would end up with them […]

I’ve Been Banned!

Published by on November 4, 2007 | 6 Responses

After my last blog post, I rushed off to my needles and cast on the Judie Jacket…. Woosh! 😛 I had the back done in a couple of nights! OK, that “Woosh” included using beautiful Namaste glass needles for the rib – they were too slippery and heavy and made the stitches huge – I […]

Ghaaa! I’ve snapped!

…they say pride goes before a fall…. Little Miss “I only work on one project at once” must confess to starting a third WIP 😳 I was being very good. I was totally focussed on the Blankie (72 out of 81 squares done). I was even managing to resist the allure of an insanely fine […]
