One Skein Giotto Top – almost….

Published by on July 2, 2008 | 4 Responses

So. What do you do with one skein of stunningly lovely Giotto? I had found a pattern that called for one skein for my size. Unfortunately I think Colinette got a model who’d taken a few too many Valium… It’s from this Colinette book, called Westcountry It’s a simple variation on a ripple stitch – […]

Somebody Stole My Mojo!

Published by on June 29, 2008 | 2 Responses

Some body stole my Mojo! My knitting Mojo, I mean. You may have noticed that I’ve slowed down blogging…and knitting. Partly because I first injured my arm then had an incredibly painful upset tum. All I was capable of was slumping in front of the TV under a duvet and not knitting. This is the […]

Dull, Functional but Oh so Useful.

Published by on June 16, 2008 | 5 Responses

My blogging and knitting have been curtailed for the last couple of weeks – I seem to have hurt my hand somehow. In the syle of the old Tommy Copper joke that went, Patient : “Doctor, Doctor, it hurts when I do that….” (Waves arm) Doctor: ” Well, don’t do that then!” I decided to […]

These Socks are Cursed

Published by on June 3, 2008 | 3 Responses

I started my Fleece Artist socks way back in November 2007, as light relief from the incredibly difficult intarsia on Eveleen. I showed them to you, in passing, in my post about my stitch markers from B&Q! This was them back then… Since then, they have been sitting looking mournfully at me from the bag […]

Descent into Fuzzy Blackness

Published by on May 30, 2008 | 4 Responses

After my Ebay Boo Boo, I thought I should really give the Kid Soft a whirl. After all, it’s a Rowan yarn I’d never heard of, let alone knit with. It would be educational…. After some research, I found that there’s only two publications for Kid Soft. The Kid Soft Booklet and a “concertina card” […]

I Love Hildegard

It seems like ages since I’ve been able to show you a finished garment I’ve made for myself. **Imagine sounds of frantic typing and checking*** Hmmm – it has been months! Back in February, I showed you Branwen! 😯 Time to rectify that shameful situation… Hildegard is finished and she is lovely! I finished sewing […]

Ebay Boo Boo

Published by on May 20, 2008 | 3 Responses

Have you ever had a yarn related accident? Have you ever had a yarn buying accident? I have. I made big Ebay boo boo 🙁 I occasionally sell unwanted yarn on Ebay and often browse the knitting section just to window shop. I need more yarn like a hole in the head 😳 Sometimes, if […]

The Return to Hildegard

Published by on May 16, 2008 | 1 Response

That title is too good for a blog post! It should be an action movie, maybe an archaeology professor fighting Nazi baddies and hunting for the lost knitted treasures of Hildegard? The sequel could be “Raiders of the Lost Stash Box”?? But I digress. Back to reality – which isn’t quite as exciting. I have […]

It Fits!

Published by on May 9, 2008 | 4 Responses

I’ve just had the phone call I was expecting from birthday boy, Steve – His Bowie fits! I was pretty anxious about it – I had measured Steve carefully before I started but there was the grain of doubt. I am relieved and pleased. Steve really liked Bowie and was genuinely chuffed with it 😀 […]

Everybody Else’s Knitting

Published by on May 3, 2008 | 1 Response

I want to don’t bore you with my rapid but visually unexciting progress with Bowie, so I thought I’d show you what everybody else at “The Guilty Knitters” is making. (Click the link to see why we are Guilty!!) These ladies are unbelievably creative and prolific. The wonderful thing is that we all like knitting […]
