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 […]

Sorry Judie – I finished it!

Published by on November 19, 2007 | 1 Response

Judie has been distracted by holiday knitting so I was given permission to continue with my Judie jacket. She knows how I hate a WIP hanging around…. I sat down for two evenings. Woosh! It’s done! 😀 It really is a quick, fun knit. My only real problem was finding some yummy buttons. I hunted […]

Stitch Markers at B&Q???

Published by on November 17, 2007 | 4 Responses

Do you use stitch markers?? I do occasionally and I’ve just started a sock that needs one. I find the usual beaded dangley ones rather irritating. 😕 These are the thingies I mean.. OK. They were free ones from a magazine and “proper” ones might be nicer but I still would end up with them […]

Blankie – Finished and Boiled!

Published by on November 11, 2007 | 5 Responses

Finally…. After two months of finger hurting perseverance, the Blankie is finished! The edging took an age but I found a way of making it a little easier. The edging, worked on a big circular needle, one side at a time, calls for 3 rows of Knit, then 3 rows of stocking stitch (Knit, Purl, […]

I’ve Been Banned!

Published by on November 4, 2007 | 6 Responses

After my last blog post, I rushed off to my needles and cast on the Judie Jacket…. Woosh! 😛 I had the back done in a couple of nights! OK, that “Woosh” included using beautiful Namaste glass needles for the rib – they were too slippery and heavy and made the stitches huge – I […]

Ghaaa! I’ve snapped!

Published by on October 25, 2007 | 9 Responses

…they say pride goes before a fall…. Little Miss “I only work on one project at once” must confess to starting a third WIP 😳 I was being very good. I was totally focussed on the Blankie (72 out of 81 squares done). I was even managing to resist the allure of an insanely fine […]

What type of knitter am I?

Published by on October 15, 2007 | 2 Responses

I was a bit ambitious to say “The end of the blankie is in sight”! I’ve managed another 6 squares of the Blankie – That brings me up to 58 out of 81 squares or 71.34% (OK…I am getting a little bit obsessed with the progress reports…..) I know it’s not super exciting but here’s […]

My Daisy Scarf Has Been Ravelryified….

Published by on October 10, 2007 | 7 Responses

If you read any number of knitting blogs, you will have already heard of Ravelry. I was luck enough to hear about Ravelry quite early on in it’s quest for Beta testers and got my invite in July. If you want to look me up, my username is the fabulously imaginative “susancrowe”…. For those of […]

Published by on October 9, 2007 | 1 Response

Wow! This Blanket is a bigger project than I anticipated. I have been really “going for it” and I still have only achieved 52 out of 81 squares (Thats 64% !) Here’s the heap of blanket that quietly evolving in the corner…. Ben has now got used to the sight of me with a bad […]

Blankie, Overdue Curtains and Schrodinger’s Cat

Published by on October 1, 2007 | 2 Responses

Do you remember the curtains I was about to make after decorating my spare room? No, not the bedroom I’m doing the Denim Blankie for. The room I did before that? Unfortunately, because the dates on my blog posts don’t lie, there is documentary proof that it’s taken me since February to make the curtains […]
