Click, Snip, Swear, Tug…

Published by on August 12, 2007 | 9 Responses

So, continuing the story of Click… Click has been through the washing machine with a couple of towels at 60 degrees -the pattern says 50 but whose machine has 50 degrees? Mine only has 40 or 60….. When it came out, my fears about curling were founded. I had also rather overdone the the felting.. […]

Clickety-Click

So what’s the other project? After having a little OCD session and organising my needles meticulously in my nice new shiny Namaste needle bag I realised that the needles for current projects just kicked around in the bottom of my knitting bag – at best they got wrapped in this spare piece of fabric! I […]

OK… I’ve teased you long enough …… I’ll tell you about my next project…… In fact I have two projects started!! 😯 Normally I like to keep just one WIP on the go as you know, but this next project is what I promised when I signed off my last post about Orford– really hard […]

Roped myself a bargain….

Published by on July 17, 2007 | 3 Responses

I really liked this design from the first moment I saw it. It’s Orford from the current Rowan magazine, no. 41. What stopped me rushing straight out and buying the yarn was the cost! It takes 12 balls of Rowan Cotton Rope – Nearly £50! 😯 That seemed rather steep for a little vesty type […]

Strappy Lace and Bead Fun

Published by on July 5, 2007 | 5 Responses

I promised, in my last post about Nicole, to tell you about how I resolved the beady problem of the straps. The pattern tells you to knit the straps then sew nearly 200 beads on afterwards by hand. As I said in my last posting, I’d rather stab myself in the leg repeatedly with a […]

More fun than it looks…

Published by on July 3, 2007 | 4 Responses

I have about a gazillion balls of yarn and associated projects waiting to be knit up. So why did I suddenly become overwhelmed in John Lewis, by the desire to buy yarn to make a pattern I’d only just seen?? I must be a sick, untreatable yarn addict…. It’s that or the tummy bug that’s […]

Fluorescent Florence

This project has yielded a couple of surprises! I wanted to knit something in either Rowan 4 ply cotton or Cotton Glace. After scanning the current Rowan magazine, I thought I’d have a flip through some of the old ones and ended up with Rowan Magazine 35 in my hand. This is one of the […]

The Knitting Gods Hate Me…..

Published by on May 15, 2007 | 6 Responses

Have you ever felt like everything you touch “knitting wise” is going to turn a big pile of steaming Doggy Doodar?? I have just stuffed one of those accursed projects down the back of my “pending” knitting basket! In the middle of the huge Glade Edging Slog, I thought I’d treat my self to a […]

Yellow, Sunny and Happy

Published by on May 11, 2007 | 7 Responses

I really, really need a straight forward, rewarding project to cheer me up. I also really, really need to use up some of my stash! That sounds like a cue for the 10 skeins of Rowan Summer Tweed I found at a recent London show for a bargainous price! I had never been attracted to […]
