Knitterly Kickstarter
Thank you for all your lovely messages about the video – I’ll post properly in response at the weekend when I have more time đ But in the mean time … As I seem to have a thing for home furnishings that “look like knitting” – I wanted to quickly show you a lovely looking […]

Alright Mr De-Mille, I’m Ready for My Close Up Now
Who would have thought that my knitting could lead to me  becoming a film star! OK,  that’s overstating it slightly đ So here’s what happened… I was contacted by an independent filmmaker, via his wife on Ravelry. Sergey explained he wanted to make a short documentary about knitting to expand his portfolio and wondered if I’d […]

And Now With Added Beads
Remember when I made my beautiful green Emanuela, I said I might change that 2nd skein of green for a different colour and make another one? That’s exactly what I did! Loop were very happy to change the skein for a different one for me and also flattered me by fawning over the lovely green Emanuela […]

Fallen off the Cracksilk Wagon

“Green Thing” (Otherwise Know as Fabulous Green Shawl)
I made the mistake of asking the lovely Ben what to title this blog post – I don’t think he was feeling particularly inspired this morning. “Green Thing”, was his instant answer. “That doesn’t really conjurer up a beautiful, lace shawl does it?”, I said. “Here is a beautiful lace shawl wot I made and some pictures of it.

Unseasonably Warm Neck!
When I told you about my Camilla hat, I hinted that there was also something warm and snuggly to for neck to match… So what have I been knitting while the weather suddenly remembered it’s late spring and got “T-shirt” warm?? No, not a scarf….I’ve made the Jerri Cowl! A beautiful, incredibly practical, cosy-warm cowl design, again from Purl Alpaca. Here’s the pattern pic.. […]

If You Wanna Get Ahead, Get A Hat!
Work has been quite busy –  The move to Agile and  a pretty heavy training course with lots of home work has stolen my blogging time. I have, however, managed to keep up my “Commuting Knitting” đ Can you guess what I’ve made? Is the title of this post a spoiler? Ok – here it […]

Agile Knitting
Behold! I have discovered that I am an Agile Knitter!! Knitting while performing aerobics? Standing on one leg while performing impossible feats of fairisle dexterity? Urm, no… Let me start at the beginning, at work – I don’t normally talk about work because it is “work” and this is a knitting blog and what I do for a […]

I am Forgiven
I have finally been forgiven for being a bad, unfaithful wife and knitting for another man. How did Ben attain this state of nirvana? It only took me to knit a beautiful pair of socks and me to finish his Drifter đ The finishing is timely – The weather here is still freezing and Ben has a […]
