7th Blogiversary
7 years of blogging my knitting adventures – that’s quite a long time. There have been times I’ve thought about stopping blogging but my lovely readers keep me coming back for just one more post – Thank you all for visiting 😀 The big non-knitting events of the year were my work trip to New […]

Resolutions and Another Alpaca Lovely
I failed last year so I’m going to REALLY try to make it this year. I’m talking about New Year Resolutions of course. 2012’s resolution was “to buy no yarn unless I was going to knit it immediately”. I lasted until May then splurged on Kidsilk Haze 😉 Once the genie was out of the bottle […]

Kidsilk Error
What’s that? Another new Kidsilk Hazealike yarn from Rowan, “Kidsilk Error”??? Errrm, No 🙁 It’s me making a huge blunder in the sales. I found myself at the John Lewis sale when the doors opened at 8:00am and dashed straight to the yarn department. I was overjoyed to find that one of the “Kidsilks” was […]

Two Finished Objects!
Looking at my blog recently, you might think all I do is buy yarn and never knit it! I have been knitting and trying to finish some of the numerous WIPs I suddenly discovered I had when I blogged back in September in the post “Whirlwind Update“. I have, in fact, finished two of those […]

Vivaldi Diagnosis at Ally Pally
After posting about Vivaldi not quite coming together right, I took her to the Guilty Knitters for a second (third,fourth and fifth) opinion. So there I was, in the middle of the shopping center wearing half made pieces of Vivaldi with all the Guilty Knitters pulling, poking and tugging trying to make it fit. “It’s […]

Making Sense of Vivaldi
Vivaldi’s construction is unusual so I wanted to show you the peices layed out before sewing up – Purcey decided to lend a helpful paw… He was quite well behaved and just observed the strangely short back… This didn’t last long… “I’ll just watch the strange shaped neck pieces….” Then I’ll kill that loose bit […]

None Too Shabby Tabby-Cat
You’ve already seen my fave piccy of me in my Tabby-Cat but it’s as bad as the Rowan Pic for not letting you see the whole garment… So I’ll show you some of the finished detail then tell you about that Icord gadget 🙂 Better picture where I’m posing with a glass of wine as […]

Whirlwind Update
An exciting, eventful month! Now to catch up with blogging it all….. I had a holiday in Skiathos, Greece (hot, sunny, lovely beach holiday), My lovely sister Carol and her husband Steve stayed in my house and “cat sat” for me while we whooped it up in Skiathos (I had to make sure my tiny […]
