Rock It Tee Two
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”!!! 🤔

Love My Advent Sorrel
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 […]

Jelly Roll Fever
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.

On The Hook
“What’s on the needles now?”, I hear you cry! Erm actually it’s “on the hook” – Crochet hook that is. I’ve got a little Hat Crazy the last couple of weeks – it started with this! The Rowan Margarida Hat in Rowan Cotton Glace (or Handknit Cotton.) I knew I had a bag of left […]

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