Of cars and knitting…
Just when I thought I could raid my obese stash for a new project, I remembered… …In Israel, I had also started Geno from Rowan 43 (the current summer issue). “Gosh”, thinks Susan. “Israel was an unexpected knitting watershed!” To remind you, that’s this top… from this mag If you remember, I had done one […]
Oooops – I’ve Finished Another One!
Would you believe I have finished another garment??!! I kinda twiddled with this one while I was working on Frappe and, all of a sudden, it was done! This hasn’t happened to me before . Finishing almost without noticing, I mean – I’ve finished the odd garment in my time! It’s Glace of course…. …Started […]
How Could I Forget to Blog This?
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 […]
Coffee Frappe to Go
It’s finally sewn up. As you may have guessed, I didn’t do much sewing up on Frappe while I was enslaved I mean staying with Carol last week. The rest of the sewing went without incident once I sat down and did it. So here she is finished… I think she looks rather smart. A […]
Protective Eye-Wear Required
This week I visited Cardiff to see my sister Carol and her lovely hubby Steve. I discovered Carol’s dark secret – a crime against knitting! Carol’s interest in knitting has been rekindled since I made her a gift of a kit to make some Regia self patterning socks. Carol completed them with a tiny amount […]
Frappe’s Collar Ponderings
I can’t believe I still haven’t finished Frappe. I finished knitting the collar and kinda stalled. I have been horrendously busy, so when I’ve had time to knit, I’m too tired to work out a fiddely-diddley construction job! I have learnt from bitter experience not to attempt sewing up when tired – sleeves can end […]
Israeli Knitting
I’ve just had a terrific week. After some serious looking, I’ve been offered a super job. 😀 My days of idleness and knitting are numbered! As an IT consultant, I expect that I’ll have to do some travelling but I promise my knitting will be my constant companion. I’ll keep you posted on the trial […]
More of Pooh
Frappe is storming along… I’m whizzing up the last sleeve today. Unfortunately there’s nothing interesting or exciting to tell or show you about it – quick, easy, looks good so far. So in the absence of exciting knitting news, want to see my latest embellished Poohs? (For anyone confused by that question see my post […]
Shopping cure for SKS
I keep saying I need a yarn sale. John Lewis kindly obliged me and are having their big, summer yarn sale. I think the rest of the store is having a sale too but let’s focus on what matters here! I really, REALLY don’t need to buy any yarn. Take a peek at the scary […]
