So what am I knitting right now while dreaming up Hetty colourways? I’m still trying to get back to being “one WIP at a time” girl. I hate having half done projects hiding in corners, reproaching me for abandoning them. 😳 So I had the choice of my two remaining WIPS – My see-through sweater […]

Conservatory Stash Busting

Do you remember how we painted the Conservatory a striking shade of green? Well, we’ve now put some furniture and plants in there and created a favourite snoozing spot for Mewsley! From Double Vision Cushion Do you like the cushion on the chair behind Mewsley? It was bought on a whim from Ikea. Here’s a […]

Full of Milky Goodness

Published by on April 12, 2010 | 8 Responses

Spring is “springing” in the garden and I’ve just finished two thick, dark wintery jumpers. I guess I’ll be needing a new exciting knit that is  something summery then? I have been fawning over the new Rowan Magazine, number 47 From Halcyon and trying to decide between my 3 favourites in the book. There’s Harmony… […]

Big Wool, You WILL Submit To My Will…

Published by on January 31, 2010 | 5 Responses

Knitting my sister some quick and fun hats has kicked my knitting mojo back to life. It also helped that I had to be in the West Country this week for work so was able to make a flying visit to Carol on the way home – she loves the hats and takes half and […]

Bloody Big Wool!

Published by on January 17, 2010 | 11 Responses

I should know better. I don’t have much luck with projects with mega chunky yarn. So why, Oh why readers, when I was struggling to find my knitting mojo with Catrin, did I decide to splurge on 10 balls of Rowan Big wool to make this huge snuggle-fest of a jumper? It’s Ronnie from the […]

It Started with the Shoes

Published by on August 27, 2009 | 8 Responses

It started with a new pair of  shoes. A beautiful pair of green canvas wedges,  in the Hobbs sale… I had loved them from afar all summer and stalked them until sale time – 70% off  😀 Happy, Happy, Happy. The problem was, I didn’t have anything that colour in my wardrobe to wear with […]

Holiday knitting that didn’t make it

Published by on July 29, 2009 | 4 Responses

I confess. Iris wasn’t the first project I bought to take on holiday with me. I rushed from the travel agent my LYS and snuffled up this cutie, fully intending to save it for the holiday… It’s Katia from the Rowan Lenpur collection. The Lenpur yarn is lovely – soft and very drapey – although […]

I’ve been busy.  I’ve been stressed with work. I’ve been trying to sell and buy a new home. I’ve not had any time off work since Christmas because I thought I’d be moving. 🙁 I was coping with all this. My  house purchase/sale falling apart for the second time and putting right back at square […]

And The Flower Blanket Goes On…

Published by on May 30, 2009 | 9 Responses

You must all be wondering how the Flower Blanket is going? The truth is, not as quickly as I would have liked! I have completed and sewn up a mighty 6 strips now… It’s a bit crumpled because it’s getting so big it has to be folded up and put away when I’m not working […]

I Need More Knitting Time

Published by on April 26, 2009 | 4 Responses

I’d love to be able to post a picture of a massive chunk of completed blanket but the sad truth is – I’ve only just finished knitting the squares for the 5th strip…barely one strip knitted in a week and still the pressing and sewing up to do! At this rate this blanket will take […]
