At Last – The Flower Blanket is Done

The Flower Blanket is finally finished 😀 I am so relieved. First I must say, “Thanks you” for all the sympathy, empathy and support on my Despair Filled Wailing post – I think I’ve gotten over it now 😉 Before I show you the inevitable “Finished Blankie” pictures, I guess you’d like to know about […]

Knitted Something I DO Like!

Published by on February 21, 2010 | 4 Responses

My blog posts have been a bit negative, whiney and full of knitterly woe lately – mainly when Big Wool is being discussed 🙁 High time I tell you about a project I really like 😀 Remember the beret I made for my sister that Thug modelled? This one… I liked it very much and […]

Published by on January 31, 2010 | 5 Responses

Knitting my sister some quick and fun hats has kicked my knitting mojo back to life. It also helped that I had to be in the West Country this week for work so was able to make a flying visit to Carol on the way home – she loves the hats and takes half and […]

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 – […]
