I am Forgiven
I have finally been forgiven for being a bad, unfaithful wife and knitting for another man. How did Ben attain this state of nirvana? It only took me to knit a beautiful pair of socks and me to finish his Drifter 😀 The finishing is timely – The weather here is still freezing and Ben has a […]
Jealous-Boy Gets a Treat
Remember how jealous Ben was of me knitting for another man? (This post –>> Paid in Full in Bacon) He hrmphed and muttered and reminded me that he had said he liked a jumper ages ago and I hadn’t made it for him and he keeps feeling cold in this horrible cold Spring. <<Sulky face>> […]
Paid in Full in Bacon

I was a little worried about giving it to Lawrence….not that I thought Lawrence wouldn’t like it but what his wife would make of it…especially as it was finished two days before Valentine’s day! Lawrence said he was […]

Summer? Ha! I’m Making a Scarf
What do you make after a cute, short sleeved cotton cardigan when, frankly, it’s too cold and wet to wear it without a thermal layer underneath and a sou’wester over the top? A huge, warm, snugglicious scarf of course! It is Haven from Kim Hargreaves’ book, Heartfelt. Ben bought me this book last Christmas. I […]
I would have, but I was terrified it was full of moth lavae. It went straight in the dustbin!
Its a real shame about your tumbling blocks cushion. The rest of it is still so pretty I'd be tempted…
The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
