Catching Up After the Dreaded Lurgy

Catching Up After the Dreaded Lurgy

Published by on January 4, 2016 | 3 Responses

I had a nice long break from work over Christmas and planned to catch up on all the projects I have yet to blog…and catch up a whole list of other thing! Instead, I have spent most of my time either in bed or semi conscious on the sofa under a blanket sniveling and coughing, trying to […]

Something That’s Not a Blanket

Published by on August 30, 2010 | 3 Responses

You must be as bored with my “knitted some more blanket squares….” posts as I am trying to finish the damned Flower Blanket. Be assured I’m still slogging over the purple monster 😐 So just by way of some light relief for all of us, I’ve dug out an old, pre blog , never seen […]

It made me the KSH junkie I am today…

Halcyon is storming along and so far, is a very enjoyable knit. I’ve made both of the peplums, picked up the stitches for the back – VERY carefully and neatly… From Halcyon and started rampaging towards the armholes … From Halcyon OK I say ‘rampaging’…I probably mean slowly and meticulously plodding through the rows, checking […]

The Carol Cushion

Published by on June 28, 2009 | 8 Responses

OK. I admit it….my resolve has failed me and I got bored with the flower blanket. It has been put away, pending winter. I’m a bad, naughty knitter and a bad, delinquent blogger 🙁 It’s my sister’s fault really….she went and had a birthday right when I was struggling to apply myself – she distracted […]

The Culling of the Wardrobe…

Published by on May 23, 2009 | 5 Responses

My wardrobes are overflowing – which is very bad as I remodelled to bedroom two years ago and made more wardrobe space! I’ve been very disciplined lately and taken great bags full of “stuff” to the charity shop. Now the hard bit…I need to cull the shelf where my hand knits live. I found three […]

Back Catalog Delving

Published by on March 8, 2009 | 6 Responses

I am finally beating the three months of constant coughs and colds! Yeah for me! 🙂 Unfortunately for my knitting, this means that I’m busy having nights out and enjoying myself to make up for lost time –  rather than sitting home and knitting. What I’m trying to  say is there’s not much knitting progress […]

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 […]

How Could I Forget to Blog This?

Published by on August 8, 2008 | 2 Responses

I was just looking at a Knitting Forum and saw a query about Rowan Tapestry. “I’ll add my two-penny’s worth into that thread”, I thought, “Where’s those piccies I used to blog about Ben’s “Serge” jumper I made in Tapestry?” I couldn’t find the pictures. I couldn’t find the blog post about the jumper. I […]

Goodbye Old Favourite and Hello New Version!

Published by on February 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

I have finally accepted that a favourite old handknit top of mine needs to go in the bin. I love it to bits but it has been regularly worn, machine washed and tumble dried and has now shrunk to the point where it is a crop top showing way too much belly! Here is my […]

Fairisle – it looked horrid on me!

Published by on February 23, 2008 | 3 Responses

This week I’ve been visiting my big sister, Carol and her lovely husband, Steve. While I was being spoilt rotten, 😀 I remembered to take some photos of a couple of Carol’s jumpers that I made. The first is a fair isle design from Rowan 38 called Electra – guess what?? It’s on the cover […]
