What type of knitter am I?

Published by on October 15, 2007 | 2 Responses

I was a bit ambitious to say “The end of the blankie is in sight”! I’ve managed another 6 squares of the Blankie – That brings me up to 58 out of 81 squares or 71.34% (OK…I am getting a little bit obsessed with the progress reports…..) I know it’s not super exciting but here’s […]

My Daisy Scarf Has Been Ravelryified….

Published by on October 10, 2007 | 7 Responses

If you read any number of knitting blogs, you will have already heard of Ravelry. I was luck enough to hear about Ravelry quite early on in it’s quest for Beta testers and got my invite in July. If you want to look me up, my username is the fabulously imaginative “susancrowe”…. For those of […]

Wow! This Blanket is a bigger project than I anticipated. I have been really “going for it” and I still have only achieved 52 out of 81 squares (Thats 64% !) Here’s the heap of blanket that quietly evolving in the corner…. Ben has now got used to the sight of me with a bad […]

Blankie, Overdue Curtains and Schrodinger’s Cat

Published by on October 1, 2007 | 2 Responses

Do you remember the curtains I was about to make after decorating my spare room? No, not the bedroom I’m doing the Denim Blankie for. The room I did before that? Unfortunately, because the dates on my blog posts don’t lie, there is documentary proof that it’s taken me since February to make the curtains […]

It’s hard work owning a knitting human…

Hello readers. It’s Thug here.I thought it was time that you were told about the hard work my sister, Mewsley, and I put in to support our pet human’s knitting habit. Mewsley and I have wanted to blog for some time. The humans have gone out hunting (at a hunting ground they call “supermarket”) so […]

When Felting Turns Bad….

Published by on September 24, 2007 | 11 Responses

My knitting news this week isn’t the stuff that will make an enthralling blog post…. I haven’t touched Eveleen but I’ve made lots more blankie squares (I’ve now done 30 out of 81 required!) There. That was dull huh? Don’t change channel yet readers! I think it’s time to share with you the reason I […]

Denim Blankie Dilemas…

Published by on September 15, 2007 | 6 Responses

Just in case you’re wondering why I have started speaking like a four year old and calling this project my “Denim Blankie” …………blame Mel Brooks’ The Producers… “I need my blue blankie!” 😀 I thought I’d share some of my thought processes behind this project with you. When this way too long post gets dull […]

Eveleen’s progress and some “Sickie Girl” knitting…

Published by on September 13, 2007 | 3 Responses

Firstly, Thank you all for your helpful suggestions and support with Eveleen – I’ve mostly abandoned the bobbins and used long strands – definitely much easier when there’s this much mayhem. I’ve also stopped being so “strict” and started carrying some of the colours. It’s still taking major concentration though. Unfortunately, in the last week, […]

Eveleen has Teeth!

Published by on August 31, 2007 | 10 Responses

Up to this point I have been really enjoying Eveleen. 😀 I struggled and won with the lace pattern – I’ve now finished all the lace for the back and front and I’ve completed the plain part of the back. A welcome relief after so much concentration. 🙄 There’s eyelet holes between the bands of […]

Eveleen Speeds Up

Published by on August 19, 2007 | 4 Responses

I chose Eveleen to slow me down a bit….. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!!) I’m really enjoying the lace pattern and have got quite quick at it! I’ve now done enough repeats so I can look at the pattern at the beginning of a RS row then memorize it all the way to the end of […]
