Fabulous Stashbuster Blanket
I have been forced out of my blogging lethargy to show you a fabulous sock yarn blanket I have just finished 🙂 It’s made entirely from the left over bits and bobs I had in stash from pairs of socks, a couple of 4 ply shawls and some soft toy creations (and I still have […]

Introducing Pixie
I have the best excuse for not blogging or knitting much. I have a kitten! It’s taken Ben and I  nearly 3 years to get over losing our beautiful little Purcey and be ready for another fluff-bundle in our lives. So here she is….Pixie! We’ve had Pixie a month so she’s 12 weeks old now – […]

Kitty loves Tartan
One less WIP! I’ve finished the Tartan Blanket 😀 This has turned out beautifully – I’m very happy. Here’s the whole thing, complete with edging… I have been slogging away and perhaps overdone it as my hands now ache and my wrist was starting to twinge – it is quite hefty crocheting 2 strands of DK. […]

Charity Hats for the Big Knit
At my new job, we are given one day a year to do something for charity as part of our corporate responsibility program. Wonderful! But what could I do? What unique skill do I have to help a charity? I have made these little hats for The Big Knit (a fundraising thing helped by Innocent Smoothies […]

Too Many WIPS and Some Tartan
I was horrified to discover I have four WIPs – you know how I like to be the “One WIP Girl”, being oh so smug about how quickly I finish an item because I work on one thing at a time? I’ve fallen off that wagon! 😮 I had intended to spend the long Christmas […]

Disaster, Woe, a Success and Some Fun
It’s been a week coloured by knitterly disaster and woe – then it improved… Disaster: I lost a sock. Not just any sock. I lost the completed, beautiful first sock of the pink, orange and purple entrelac socks I was making 😥 This is the last picture I have of my lost baby…. “What happened?”, I hear […]

Catching Up After the Dreaded Lurgy
I had a nice long break from work over Christmas and planned to catch up on all the projects I have yet to blog…and catch up a whole list of other thing! Instead, I have spent most of my time either in bed or semi conscious on the sofa under a blanket sniveling and coughing, trying to […]

Choices: 7 Fugly Scarves or…
I was given 7 skeins of chenille “Fun, Mesh Scarf yarn” recently – a barista at our Sunday morning Guilty Knitters Coffee shop had rescued it from the bin when a friend’s shop was shutting down. She thought of us knitters and I wasn’t going to let the fact it was truly “Fugly” yarn make me waste […]

Finished the Lovely Chocolate
No, I don’t mean I have scoffed an entire box of chocolates! How could you think I was so greedy?! I mean, I have finished the cardigan I named “Lovely Chocolate” – it was an inspired name because the pattern is called “Lovely” and the colour I made it in?? Yes , chocolate brown…. I showed […]

Hello Again!
Ohhh, that was a long break from blogging. As you can see – I’m not dead! 😮 So what’s been going on? Well, I’ve had a couple of huge projects stealing all my blogging time –  one at work (which would bore you), and a huge disruptive one at home which is much more fun […]
