First Sorrel
I promised to show you my first Sorrel, made with Yarn for the Soul’s light fingering in 2021. Fell in love with the “Midnight is a Lonely Place” colourway as it reminded me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night (just been to an immersive Van Gogh exhibition!!) – Can you see what I was seeing? Most […]

Midwinter Cushion
Rowan have been doing a Knitalong for Martin Storey’s Midwinter Blanket. (You need to sign up but the pattern, videos etc are free) This is the pattern pic of the blanket, made up of separately knitted fair isle squares in Rowan Felted Tweed… This immediately appealed to me – partly because of the potential to […]

After the Rain – Love it!
I finished After the Rain a couple of weeks ago – Oh Wow do I love that yoke pattern! … but I only got around to doing the obligatory photo shoot today – Bad Susan! I won’t tease you – here she is… Last time I spoke to you I’d just started the yoke pattern […]

Sea Glass Sweater
I definitely owe you some knitting eyecandy 😀 How about this? This is the fabulous Sea Glass Sweater by Wool & Pine. Made between Jan and March 2022. It is a wonderfully inventive top down pattern made entirely of 1×1 fairisle, changing both colours every row. It’s intended as a stashbuster to use up all […]

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 […]
I do that too. I always put a stitch marker at my wrap and turns or I'd never recognize when…
What a beauty, I love it. As someone who also indulges in a little light trafficking , there is no…
It's beautiful. What a treasure. We used to smuggle wine/liquors when returning from Europe. Yarn seems much safer.
It's an unusually cold and wet summer here in England. 17C today! Sorrel was very welcome 🙂
Your advent fade really turned out well. I pink and purple one would be beautiful too. I can't imagine wearing…
