So Beady, So Sparkly, So Beautiful

Published by on October 21, 2024 | 5 Responses

All reason deserts you. You don’t know when you’ll wear it but you have to make it because it’s so pretty and sparkly and beady and beautiful! I tried on the Extended Eyre Shawl from Coastal Colours and could not stop prancing around and posing in it. It had to be mine. The pattern was […]

Rock It Tee Two

Rock It Tee Two

Published by on September 29, 2024 | 2 Responses

Ben was flying off to Seattle again for work. Shamefully, I still hadn’t knit either of the beautiful skeins of yarn he had bought me back from Yarn Dragon in Pike Place. He’s a good man – going into a yarn shop on his own, discussing my yarn preferences with the staff and bringing back well chosen surprises. Although I have considered sending Yarn Dragon a photo of the lovely Ben with a message, “If you see this man looking for wife-treats, please send him home with XXX”!!! 🤔

Published by on July 13, 2024 | 2 Responses

Oh My! I really love this Advent Sorrel even more now it’s finished 😍 She is warm and soft and perfect for an English mid-summer (which is very cold this year). It took 3 different skeins of green to finish the sleeves (Which look a little long in this picture??). I managed to bend all […]

First Sorrel

First Sorrel

Published by on July 1, 2024 | Leave a response

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 […]

Jelly Roll Fever

Jelly Roll Fever

Published by on August 26, 2023 | 6 Responses

I contracted Jelly Roll fever in summer 2021. It took eight pairs of socks and a year of fun to beat my obsession with these cute little socks into remission. I still fear for the safety of my sock yarn stash. I may relapse at any time.

Once I had finished the fairisle yoke, Misurina was finished at great speed! So happy! 😍 I won’t make you wait for a photo 🙂 I am very, very pleased with her. My fears about the fairisle pattern not showing up in the cream were unfounded – I love these colours – I think the […]

Some of my knitting choices are so awful, you just have to point and laugh.
