It Looked so Much Better in the Picture…
So remember I mentioned the cardigan thing I wasn’t sure about? I am now sure – it’s hideous. I snaffled up 14 balls of Rowan Silk Twist in the sales to make the Blankey Jacket from Rowan Silk Twist Classics. This pattern… From Blanket Jacket from his book… From Blanket Jacket I was a little surprised when […]

Distracted by Cat Toys
I’ve had my attention diverted by cat toys. And string. Why on earth would cat toys be of interest to me when I don’t have a cat. Not since last year when Thug, and in February,  Mewsley succumbed to old age? Could it be that we have adopted new cats??!! I would like to introduce Ziggy and Kitty. From Kitty […]

Scarf Envy

Ben’s Evil Druid Hoodie

After the success of Ben’s Man scarf, I was keen to keep the momentum going and swathe Ben in more knitted loveliness. Ben was duly dragged  to […]

It did, however, give me the perfect opportunity to finally finish off sewing up my last outstanding WIP – Beatriz in the Louisa Harding Silkwool. I also managed to knit another entire garment but that’s […]

Mewsley’s Paw Print

That was Quick!
The long awaited Ben scarf was all over in 3 days đŻ I really enjoyed the mindless long rows of knit and the regular gratification of finishing a stripe. I cast off with a 4.5mm needle (was knit on 4mm) and made sure it wasn’t too tight (I used a cable cast on BTW – […]
