Travelling Socks
I usually have a pair of socks on the needles, ready to grab and stuff in my bag to keep me company when I’m flying. Even the most rigorous airport security has yet to give me grief over a set of 2.5mm wooden dpns and a ball of sock yarn. I take socks on the […]

Getting it Out of the Way
I don’t understand. It should have been a lovely knit – beautiful Nimu yarn and easy but interesting pattern.? So why was the Stripe Study Shawl such a boring slog to finish? I guess it’s because I had to rip it back and start again so I’ve probably knit one and a half of these not […]

Paid in Full in Bacon
The Salford Scarf took me 9 days to knit and it is lovely but jealousy may be a problem…. I was a little worried about giving it to Lawrence….not that I thought Lawrence wouldn’t like it but what his wife would make of it…especially as it was finished two days before Valentine’s day! Lawrence said he was […]

There are some “interesting” ways my skills are requested – ranging from the polite and flattering, “I know you’re really busy but you’re such a wonderful knitter could you please make me a “Knitted thing of immense size and complexity in ugly yarn?” To […]

Something To Test My Skills
Clearly I should do something really difficult now as I keep getting blasé and screwing up on the easy patterns. What better than the scary, never attempted before challenge of the fabulous Autumn Rose Sweater? I bought the kit at Ally Pally at the same time as I bought the Nimu yarns for Stripe Study […]

Reading the Pattern is a Good Idea
So, I needed some “mindless” knitting after the the whirlwind of knitting Icon. What better than knit up the lovely Nimu yarns I bought at Ally Pally? This yarn… From Ally Pally 2012 I was going to make Different Lines again as I was so pleased with it but that would be boring and I wanted […]

Iconic
My “Completed Knit” Icon post could be very short. The word, “WOW” is enough to sum it up!! This dress is such a pleasure to knit and so bang on trend it hurts. It really is an “Iconic” knit. I love, love love the way that you start at the bottom hem and the rows […]

Christmas Jumpers, Wine, Bloggers and Debbie Bliss!
Save The Children think I’m a popular and “on trend” knit blogger! In fact I am, apparently, one of the Knitterati!! With flattery like that, how could I say, “No” to their invitation to spend an evening with them and Debbie Bliss at their “Mary’s Living and Giving” shop in Primrose Hill, North London? Save the […]
