Knitted Election??!!

Published by on May 4, 2010 | 5 Responses

The paint fumes probably are the reason…. …I seem to keep seeing knitting  where I shouldn’t…. …even in the election coverage! This strange and slightly worrying tenancy started when I was in Israel in 2008 (When I made Geno, and Hedera on holiday)…everyone else saw a sculpture dedicated to world peace…I saw…a giant ball of […]

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 […]

Spring is “springing” in the garden and I’ve just finished two thick, dark wintery jumpers. I guess I’ll be needing a new exciting knit that is  something summery then?

Oh Boy! I seem to have blinked and it’s been over a month since my last blog post – Sorry readers – I’ve been bad and neglected you 🙄 First I was busy with work – but in a good way. Learning new stuff, meeting new people but under some tough deadlines, doing long days […]

One of the great pleasure of my lovely new house is that there is a pretty tree and some shubs in the garden, outside of the kitchen window. The tree is the PERFECT place to hang bird feeders! I waste an awful lot of potential knitting time watching the birds and squealing when I spot […]

Three guesses how Ronnie, the Big Wool Sloppy Joe turned out… Here’s a clue… Yep, it’s bonfire time. I finished the beast last week but have been so disapointed, I couldn’t bring myself to blog it 🙁 It is huge. It’s probably too huge for my sister too. I fact – it’s too huge for […]
