Fallen off the Cracksilk Wagon
I’ve fallen off the wagon in a big way – The lure of Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze was too much for me to resist. My long struggle with Cracksilk Haze addiction  has been well documented on this blog: KSH Shame – Where I found I had nearly all the yarn for the Earthstripe wrap in stash. […]

“Green Thing” (Otherwise Know as Fabulous Green Shawl)
I made the mistake of asking the lovely Ben what to title this blog post – I don’t think he was feeling particularly inspired this morning. “Green Thing”, was his instant answer. “That doesn’t really conjurer up a beautiful, lace shawl does it?”, I said. “Here is a beautiful lace shawl wot I made and some pictures of it.

Unseasonably Warm Neck!
When I told you about my Camilla hat, I hinted that there was also something warm and snuggly to for neck to match… So what have I been knitting while the weather suddenly remembered it’s late spring and got “T-shirt” warm?? No, not a scarf….I’ve made the Jerri Cowl! A beautiful, incredibly practical, cosy-warm cowl design, again from Purl Alpaca. Here’s the pattern pic.. […]

I am Forgiven
I have finally been forgiven for being a bad, unfaithful wife and knitting for another man. How did Ben attain this state of nirvana? It only took me to knit a beautiful pair of socks and me to finish his Drifter đ The finishing is timely – The weather here is still freezing and Ben has a […]

Shivering and Knitless
Picture it readers, a shivering, knitless Ben, looking imploringly at the jumper I’m knitting him, silently berating me for knitting for another man and his current lack of new knit wear. (OK, maybe I’m hamming this up just a tiny bit for dramatic effect đ ) As Drifter is too large and complicated to take on the […]

Jealous-Boy Gets a Treat
Remember how jealous Ben was of me knitting for another man? (This post –>> Paid in Full in Bacon) He hrmphed and muttered and reminded me that he had said he liked a jumper ages ago and I hadn’t made it for him and he keeps feeling cold in this horrible cold Spring. Â <<Sulky face>> […]

Not Sure If These Count As “Successes”
Do you remember the string Whale cat toys I made for Ziggy and Kitty ? These little beasties…. From Kitty & Ziggy A friend of ours has a new kitten and I thought I’d make a little whale toy as a gift for the kitten. Ben saw my “gift Whale” and said, “that’s nicer than the […]

Kitten Mittens
