So remember I mentioned the cardigan thing I wasn’t sure about? I am now sure – it’s hideous. I snaffled up 14 balls of Rowan Silk Twist in the sales to make the Blankey Jacket from Rowan Silk Twist Classics. This pattern… From Blanket Jacket from his book… From Blanket Jacket I was a little surprised when […]

Graciously Permitted to Knit a Scarf

Published by on January 4, 2012 | 7 Responses

I’ve said before how Ben doesn’t feel the cold.  He rarely wears a jumper and only wears gloves, and hats when it’s several degrees below freezing. Pretty frustrating for a knitter 🙁 We’ve had several conversations like this over the years, Me: “Ohhh, look at this lovely man-scarf pattern. Can I knit it for you?” […]

When I saw a bag of 10 skeins of Louisa Harding’s hand dyed Grace Silk DK for a silly bargain price of £2.90 a skein I couldn’t resist. Just look at it…isn’t that pretty? From Beatriz Silkwool I eagerly started to look for a pattern to use it… Hmmmmm Actually – there’s not that much […]

“Still” Working on the Mojo

Published by on September 18, 2011 | 5 Responses

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but, my next project is another Kim Hargreaves. I will break that “Kim Hargreaves Curse” if it kills me! Usually I have at least 10 things I’m itching to start and another 20 patterns I kinda like too. This time there was much gnashing and wailing and flinging of […]

Oh, This is Too Hard!

Ghaaaah!My head hurt from smashing it repeatedly onto my desk … This pattern is not well written. I’m still plugging away at Elizabeth from Kim Hargreaves. After finding the errata and having to reknit the back, I quite naturally, started on the front. (this post does get more exciting – I promise…) All was going […]

The Kim Hargreaves Curse!

Published by on May 22, 2011 | 16 Responses

I think someone has put a “Kim Hargreaves Curse” on me! I love her designs but I keep on getting it wrong with stupid errors when I knit them! It’s not like I’m a beginner either is it?? They all turn out OK in the end but if I’m going to mess up it’s on […]

From Green Cashmere I love the way the […]
