Knitting for Ben

Published by on January 16, 2008 | 1 Response

You may have noticed from my list of projects on my Blogiversary post that only one garment was for Ben – the Brooklyn jacket. Ohh, and a rather fine pair of Space Invader socks! I promise you that this was not because I’m a horrid selfish knitter or because of some kind of fear of […]

Swamp Donkey and Cherish

Published by on January 14, 2008 | 11 Responses

Why haven’t I posted for so long? Because I have been laying under a duvet on my sofa being a flu ridden Swamp Donkey (American slang for a moose that lives in the swamps or colloquial slang for a deeply unattractive woman) I’m not pretty when I have the flu….I look kinda like this… In […]

Blankie – Final resting place!

Published by on January 2, 2008 | 4 Responses

Just a quickie of a post ! Remember my denim Blankie??? We managed to get the beast hung in it’s intended position as a wall hanging at the head of the bed. We had a bit of a wrestle to get Thug to let it go..He does so love to sleep on my knitting! Mewsley […]

Ombre – Zigged and Zagged

Published by on December 31, 2007 | 1 Response

Did I finish Ombre for Christmas?? I’m sorry to confess… No. I got overwhelmed by the usual baking, turkey stuffing, shopping, eating, entertaining “fest” that is Christmas. I decided I was putting myself under WAY too much pressure. I try very hard to keep knitting as my pleasure and indulgence. Forcing myself to knit to […]

I’ve got Fat-Finger!

Published by on December 20, 2007 | 6 Responses

In case you’re wondering what’s happened to my Sanquhar gloves – I’ve had to put them down for a little while. Firstly, the tiny weeny 1.5mm needles were giving me blisters on my left index finger where I picked up the left hand yarn and scrapped the tip of the needle down my finger tip […]

So….what do you think I did with the money I got back for the returned Cocoon yarn from the abandoned Iceland? Save it? Spend it on presents for Christmas? Pah! 😯 Like heck! It went straight back on yarn!! In knitting accountancy […]

Accidental Hat…

Published by on December 4, 2007 | 7 Responses

I don’t usually give up on a project. I’ll take my time choosing then bludgeon my way through till it’s done. Intarsia, Fair Isle and lace have all been conquered at the pointy tips of my needles. This time was different though. I love the new Rowan yarn, Cocoon and have been contemplating a project. […]

Insane Sanquhar Gloves

Published by on November 29, 2007 | 23 Responses

I’d spent a whole day at Ally Pally, enjoyed myself, bought some pretty things but hadn’t seen that one “to die for” project to make my heart race. In fact, I think I’d gone Wool-blind from seeing too much lovely yarn! Then I spotted a Japanese lady sitting at her stall doing the most incredible […]

Eveleen – She’s beautiful!!

Published by on November 22, 2007 | 14 Responses

****Warning **** ****This post includes a “horror” picture**** 😉 Do you remember Eveleen? She was this little beauty from Rowan 40… I had struggled and mastered the lace, knit the dinky little sleeves and done half of the evil, evil intarsia pattern when I, uncharacteristically, abandoned Eveleen in favour of my Blankie. OK – being […]
