Fast ‘n’ Stripey

Published by on December 20, 2008 | 2 Responses

Once I’d finished my Hedera socks I needed some commuting knitting. I was mean to Ben. Look, Ben. Look at this lovely ball of yarn. You’d like a pair of socks in this WOULDN’T YOU?? “Urmmmm”, said Ben, looking scared “Is ‘Yes’ the right answer?” I graciously agreed to make Ben a pair of socks […]

Have you knitted a loo seat?

Published by on December 19, 2008 | 2 Responses

Forgive me readers for I have sinned. It has been two weeks since my blog post… I’m kinda convinced life is out to get me – just when I thought the dental trauma was sorted, I caught a heavy cold and have been knocked for six. All I’ve done is sleep, and drag myself into […]

Purple Scarfery

Published by on December 6, 2008 | 4 Responses

Well I said it was quick! 😀 I’ve finished my “So Called Scarf” already. It was a great travelling knit until I got onto the second skein on Manos. Then it was too big to fit comfortably in my handbag. I then had to do more of it at home. Mewsley decided to “help” me […]

Even More Emily Blunders

Remember Emily? How I told you about how I’d gone wrong with Emily in this post ? Well, I have a day off today and had planned to get Emily sewn up. The sleeves were done and I had used the long drive to  and fro my friend’s at the weekend to knit the neck […]

CrackSilk Haze. I Can Stop Any Time I Want….

Published by on November 24, 2008 | 22 Responses

I’ve just visited a friend of mine who describes herself as a “Yarn Collector”.  She is honest that she doesn’t always intend to use the yarn – she just wants to have it. Pet it.  Stroke it. Love it. Of course, part of my visit was being proudly shown her new acquisitions.  It was a […]

You may or may not know about “My So Called Scarf”. It’s a free internet pattern by Allison Issacs available from Imagiknit. It seems like everyone who has seen it has had to have a go and has loved it. Add my name to that long list! 🙂 My lovely sister Carol made me a […]

Hedera Training Complete

Published by on November 20, 2008 | Leave a response

My Pink Hedera. I can’t believe these have taken 4 months to complete. I suppose they have never been my mainstream knitting, relegated to being a handy small thing for trains and planes. As they have been done entirely when I’m on the move I consider them “bonus knitting” from otherwise wasted time. But finally, […]

What Knitters with Stash, Fear Most

Published by on November 15, 2008 | 8 Responses

When I started my second Hedera Sock. I was irritated to find 4 or 5 points in the yarn where it appeared that one strand of the two had broken – lots of joins at the start of the sock 🙁 I dismissed it as a manufacturing problem. Then when working on Emily, I had […]

For the Geeky Man Who has Everything

Published by on November 2, 2008 | 4 Responses

What do you knit for a very Geeky man (I say that affectionately) who has everything knitted he wants and a couple of items over that requirement? “Nothing!” I hear you cry, “Knit  for yourself!” Hmmmm…that might work but I’m a generous soul….some people even call me “pushy”… “You need a lovely scarf now the […]
