Click, Snip, Swear, Tug…

Published by on August 12, 2007 | 9 Responses

So, continuing the story of Click… Click has been through the washing machine with a couple of towels at 60 degrees -the pattern says 50 but whose machine has 50 degrees? Mine only has 40 or 60….. When it came out, my fears about curling were founded. I had also rather overdone the the felting.. […]

Clickety-Click

So what’s the other project? After having a little OCD session and organising my needles meticulously in my nice new shiny Namaste needle bag I realised that the needles for current projects just kicked around in the bottom of my knitting bag – at best they got wrapped in this spare piece of fabric! I […]

Orford slips off the glass needles

Published by on July 31, 2007 | 7 Responses

I haven’t posted for a week. Bad Susan. Remember in my last post about Orford I said I’d need new wardrobes If I kept knitting so fast????? Well, I think Ben must be reading my blog – this week, at his suggestion, we have been redecorating the bedroom and researching new wardrobes!! I had dreams […]

Ohhh! New Needles!!

Published by on July 23, 2007 | 4 Responses

On my knitterly shopping spree, when I bought my lovely Namaste needle binder, I suffered a problem well know to knitters. Another item just jumped into my basket! I didn’t put them there! Honest! 😮 I just had to have these… Also from Namaste, glass knitting needles… “Won’t they break??”, I thought that – they […]

Roped myself a bargain….

Published by on July 17, 2007 | 3 Responses

I really liked this design from the first moment I saw it. It’s Orford from the current Rowan magazine, no. 41. What stopped me rushing straight out and buying the yarn was the cost! It takes 12 balls of Rowan Cotton Rope – Nearly £50! 😯 That seemed rather steep for a little vesty type […]

Afternoon in the garden….

I was very good Friday! I did all my household chores so the weekend would be free for more fun things like helping a friend clear brambles from her new allotment. Yep, I’m strange – I like that kinda thing! 🙂 After a hard day of chores I thought, “I’ll sit in the garden, watch […]

Nicole is done – How quick???

Published by on July 11, 2007 | 5 Responses

Wow – even for me, Nicole has been a quick knit! Despite having with the beady problem to work out. The fit has come a up little big, compared to the Rowan picture ,but I don’t reckon it looks too bad. I think I simply made it a size too large! I’ve been going to […]

Strappy Lace and Bead Fun

Published by on July 5, 2007 | 5 Responses

I promised, in my last post about Nicole, to tell you about how I resolved the beady problem of the straps. The pattern tells you to knit the straps then sew nearly 200 beads on afterwards by hand. As I said in my last posting, I’d rather stab myself in the leg repeatedly with a […]
