Perfect Knitting Gift Found in Sainsburys!

Published by on October 13, 2008 | 16 Responses

I am officially trying to start a consumer’s panic buying frenzy on an item in Sainsbury’s. When doing my boring weekly food shop on Sunday, I spotted what is arguably the most reasonably priced, inspired gift for any knitaholic. Its this… A china mug that looks like it is knitted, filled with yummy shortbread!!! And […]

When an Old Knit Dies….

Published by on October 11, 2008 | 6 Responses

First a confession – I’ve barely knit this week. I’ve been on an intensive training course for work all week- my evenings were “study til you fall asleep” territory 😯 When I got home on Friday and changed clothes, I pulled out an old knit from the back of the wardrobe to relax in…. Oh […]

Train of Thought

Published by on October 4, 2008 | 3 Responses

My new job is stealing all my knitting time.  I’m having to fit my yarn addiction in where I can. For those of you who have been impressed in the past by my previous (unemployed) super-productivity , you can sit back and gloat right about now – progress is so slow! For my current work […]

I’m Innocent Again

Published by on September 27, 2008 | 1 Response

I suddenly realised that the deadline for sending in Innocent Smoothie Hats (17th October) was rapidly approaching and I hadn’t knitted a single one. For those not in the know, this is for a charity promotion by Innocent Smoothies – the little hats go on the small bottles and 50p goes to Age Concern for […]

Cats Squabble Over Completed Haven!

Published by on September 17, 2008 | 9 Responses

I’ve had problems with the cats and Haven. It’s finished but there have been squabbles! Firstly, Mewsley has been rather jealous of all the attention Thug has been getting. She decided that SHE was going to do the snugglablity testing for Haven. After much pawing (and a little drooling) she decided that it was soft […]

Summer? Ha! I’m Making a Scarf

Published by on September 12, 2008 | 3 Responses

What do you make after a cute, short sleeved cotton cardigan when, frankly, it’s too cold and wet to wear it without a thermal layer underneath and a sou’wester over the top? A huge, warm, snugglicious scarf of course! It is Haven from Kim Hargreaves’ book, Heartfelt. Ben bought me this book last Christmas.  I […]

Geno – The Knitty Gritty

Published by on September 9, 2008 | 5 Responses

You’ve had a sneak preview of Geno in action at I-Knit Day, now to give you the knitty gritty and the completed knit report. And some gratuitous Thug pictures because he was complaining (meowing) loudly that he hasn’t got enough blog time. So here she is, the finished Geno. I am still basking in the […]

I Went to I-Knit Day and…

Published by on September 7, 2008 | 9 Responses

I have lots to tell you – I’ve finished Geno and started a new project. But I’m not going to tell you about that. 😯 Yesterday, I, and a large proportion of the knitters in this part of the world, went to I-Knit Day!! I had a heck of a lot of fun 😀 Here […]

Turning Lavender Red

Published by on August 27, 2008 | 2 Responses

In a major culling and review of my wardrobe (pitchforks and and industrial lifting equipment were required) I decided two things. I need a little strappy vest top in bright red. I’m never going to wear Lavender,other than out of guilt for neglecting it, while flopping around the house. You remember Lavender don’t you? Golden […]

Barbie’s New Knitting Equipment

Published by on August 22, 2008 | 6 Responses

When the waiter bought us our drinks and some olives, while sitting outside a restaurant, by a lake, having an impulsive treat of a meal out, I don’t think Ben was expecting me to go into sudden raptures about the cocktail sticks that accompanied the olives! I must be the most deeply sad woman alive. […]
