More fun than it looks…

I have about a gazillion balls of yarn and associated projects waiting to be knit up. So why did I suddenly become overwhelmed in John Lewis, by the desire to buy yarn to make a pattern I’d only just seen?? I must be a sick, untreatable yarn addict…. It’s that or the tummy bug that’s […]

Fabby Flu-Flo

Flu-Flo is finished!! That’s what my friend Uknitty decided to call it as Fluorescent Florence was too much of a mouthful for her. Ben also has unkindly been referring to it as “Agent Orange”….I shall have my revenge on him by knitting him some agent orange socks with the leftovers 😈 (Not really) So, enough […]

Fluorescent Florence

This project has yielded a couple of surprises! I wanted to knit something in either Rowan 4 ply cotton or Cotton Glace. After scanning the current Rowan magazine, I thought I’d have a flip through some of the old ones and ended up with Rowan Magazine 35 in my hand. This is one of the […]

Yellow Lavender

Do you remember that I said in Sunny, Yellow and Happy that I wanted a straight forward rewarding project to cheer me up? Well, I really got exactly that with this project! 😀 Here’s the finished article I love it. It was quick, easy and it fits me! The only things that made me stop […]

Innocent Smoothie Hat Addiction

Edit 11 July 2007 I seem to have had finger trouble and deleted all my piccies from this post – I’ve attempted to put them back in – sorry ! ** Warning – Photo Heavy post*** I thought I’d knit a couple of hats for the Innocent Smoothie Campaign to raise money for Age Concern. […]

Fluffy Wuffy Gloves

I the spirit of trying to finish off some of those “too tiny to even call a project” type projects that have been cluttering up my living room, I made some luxurious Fluffy Wuffy Fingerless Gloves. In fact – I sat in the garden on one of the recent scorching hot sunny days knitting warm […]

“Bucky” the Starbucks Bear – V2.0

Do you remember the Starbucks bear? The Guilty Knitters and I made him to thank the Starbucks staff at Christmas? And the heartbreak when he disappeared ? This was the handsome devil in the Christmas uniform… Tracey, the manager of our Starbucks, asked us if we could make another one to replace Buck because she […]

Glade- Rowan’s opinion…..

I’ve been a bad & lazy blogger – my excuse is that I’ve been so fed up over Glade I’ve really not wanted to pick up the needles. Pathetic to get so fed up over knitting huh! So, I’ve kicked myself up the behind and got back to it…. Glade again – I know this […]

The Knitting Gods Hate Me…..

Have you ever felt like everything you touch “knitting wise” is going to turn a big pile of steaming Doggy Doodar?? I have just stuffed one of those accursed projects down the back of my “pending” knitting basket! In the middle of the huge Glade Edging Slog, I thought I’d treat my self to a […]

Yellow, Sunny and Happy

I really, really need a straight forward, rewarding project to cheer me up. I also really, really need to use up some of my stash! That sounds like a cue for the 10 skeins of Rowan Summer Tweed I found at a recent London show for a bargainous price! I had never been attracted to […]
