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 […]

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 […]

False Start – Then Progress

Published by on October 3, 2010 | 5 Responses

Yarns firmly under control, I was whizzing along with Flag and getting through the rows on the chart very quickly – too quickly – alarmingly quickly….. Bugger! I had managed to misread this very large, clear instruction at the top of the chart (I’m doing size “S”)… From Flag I read one square as “4 […]

Despair Filled Wailing

Published by on September 2, 2010 | 9 Responses

Or perhaps this post should be called, “Stupid, Stupid, Stupid” So here’s how I was reduced to “Despair filled wailing”… I’m onto the last flower of the blanket…. I’m rushing around, grabbing my knitting, ready to go meet the Guilty Knitters for my Sunday morning knit-fest. Quick look at the plan to see what flower […]

So here I am, basking in compliments from my knitterly friends on how the admire my resolve to get back to one WIP at a time. Their encouragement is spurring me on to great feats of blanket square knitting – two whole squares on one train ride to Bristol! I have eagerly completed strip no.9 […]
