And I Had Most of This In Stash!

Published by on September 30, 2011 | 9 Responses

I think my mojo must be well and truly back because I think my next project is gorgeous! Here’s a clue…You should be able to guess the yarn at least (if you know my stash 😉 ) From Modern Quilt Wrap So did you guess it’s Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze? What else would be such a “Mojo […]

“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!

Published by on June 12, 2011 | 3 Responses

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 […]

Cashmere Cable Fun

Happy Easter! It’s a glorious sunny day and while lounging and knitting in the sunshine, I realised I  haven’t told you about my progress with the lovely green cashmere… I’ve completed the back and the front …but it’s the front I want to tell you about today. From Green Cashmere I love the way the […]

I Need a Luxurious Treat…

Firstly I must say thank you for all the wonderful message of support and sympathy on my last post about poor Thug. You have no idea how much you all helped me. Huge hugs to all you guys 😀 So. How has the knitting faired through all the upset? Unfortunately, I really wasn’t in the […]

Tantrum.

Published by on February 20, 2011 | 9 Responses

It’s been a bad knitting week 🙁 Do I mean a bad week to find time for knitting or that I’ve knit really badly? Unfortunately…Both! 😳 We have spent the last few weekends decorating our office at home. It really needed doing – we spend a great deal of time in there and it was […]

Very Fluffy Progress

Published by on February 12, 2011 | 7 Responses

I’ve been decorating again – this time our office where we both frequently work from home so huge disruption at our house! Computers and cupboards in every room, getting in the way 🙁 Not as much inspiration as decorating the knit room but at least this time we have the furniture and just needed to […]

Knitting up that Sales Yarn…

Published by on January 31, 2011 | 10 Responses

So which project to start first from my “snuffled up greedily in the sales” yarn? First – what exactly is the scope of this resolution?? What yarn to I mean? Hmmm…every thing in this blog post “Yarn Sales – Being Good, Bad and Disorganised“, plus the gorgeous, green cashmere from my last post. Actually, It’s […]

Easy for the Train

Published by on January 7, 2011 | 10 Responses

Do you ever pause, just before dashing out of the house in the morning, saying to yourself, “I can’t face that train journey without some knitting”? I do! Apart from being valuable knitting time, knitting helps me ignore the the “less pleasant and irritating” aspects of some of the other commuters. Anyone who has ever […]
