Accidental Hat…

Published by on December 4, 2007 | 7 Responses

I don’t usually give up on a project. I’ll take my time choosing then bludgeon my way through till it’s done. Intarsia, Fair Isle and lace have all been conquered at the pointy tips of my needles. This time was different though. I love the new Rowan yarn, Cocoon and have been contemplating a project. […]

Insane Sanquhar Gloves

Published by on November 29, 2007 | 23 Responses

I’d spent a whole day at Ally Pally, enjoyed myself, bought some pretty things but hadn’t seen that one “to die for” project to make my heart race. In fact, I think I’d gone Wool-blind from seeing too much lovely yarn! Then I spotted a Japanese lady sitting at her stall doing the most incredible […]

Eveleen – She’s beautiful!!

Published by on November 22, 2007 | 14 Responses

****Warning **** ****This post includes a “horror” picture**** 😉 Do you remember Eveleen? She was this little beauty from Rowan 40… I had struggled and mastered the lace, knit the dinky little sleeves and done half of the evil, evil intarsia pattern when I, uncharacteristically, abandoned Eveleen in favour of my Blankie. OK – being […]

Sorry Judie – I finished it!

Published by on November 19, 2007 | 1 Response

Judie has been distracted by holiday knitting so I was given permission to continue with my Judie jacket. She knows how I hate a WIP hanging around…. I sat down for two evenings. Woosh! It’s done! 😀 It really is a quick, fun knit. My only real problem was finding some yummy buttons. I hunted […]

Stitch Markers at B&Q???

Published by on November 17, 2007 | 4 Responses

Do you use stitch markers?? I do occasionally and I’ve just started a sock that needs one. I find the usual beaded dangley ones rather irritating. 😕 These are the thingies I mean.. OK. They were free ones from a magazine and “proper” ones might be nicer but I still would end up with them […]

Blankie – Finished and Boiled!

Published by on November 11, 2007 | 5 Responses

Finally…. After two months of finger hurting perseverance, the Blankie is finished! The edging took an age but I found a way of making it a little easier. The edging, worked on a big circular needle, one side at a time, calls for 3 rows of Knit, then 3 rows of stocking stitch (Knit, Purl, […]

I’ve Been Banned!

Published by on November 4, 2007 | 6 Responses

After my last blog post, I rushed off to my needles and cast on the Judie Jacket…. Woosh! 😛 I had the back done in a couple of nights! OK, that “Woosh” included using beautiful Namaste glass needles for the rib – they were too slippery and heavy and made the stitches huge – I […]

Ghaaa! I’ve snapped!

…they say pride goes before a fall…. Little Miss “I only work on one project at once” must confess to starting a third WIP 😳 I was being very good. I was totally focussed on the Blankie (72 out of 81 squares done). I was even managing to resist the allure of an insanely fine […]
