None Too Shabby Tabby-Cat
You’ve already seen my fave piccy of me in my Tabby-Cat but it’s as bad as the Rowan Pic for not letting you see the whole garment… So I’ll show you some of the finished detail then tell you about that Icord gadget đ Better picture where I’m posing with a glass of wine as […]
And Now With Added Beads
Remember when I made my beautiful green Emanuela, I said I might change that 2nd skein of green for a different colour and make another one? That’s exactly what I did! Loop were very happy to change the skein for a different one for me and also flattered me by fawning over the lovely green Emanuela […]
“Green Thing” (Otherwise Know as Fabulous Green Shawl)
I made the mistake of asking the lovely Ben what to title this blog post – I don’t think he was feeling particularly inspired this morning. “Green Thing”, was his instant answer. “That doesn’t really conjurer up a beautiful, lace shawl does it?”, I said. “Here is a beautiful lace shawl wot I made and some pictures of it. […]
If You Wanna Get Ahead, Get A Hat!
Work has been quite busy –  The move to Agile and  a pretty heavy training course with lots of home work has stolen my blogging time. I have, however, managed to keep up my “Commuting Knitting” đ Can you guess what I’ve made? Is the title of this post a spoiler? Ok – here it […]
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 đ The finishing is timely – The weather here is still freezing and Ben has a […]
Shivering and Knitless
Picture it readers, a shivering, knitless Ben, looking imploringly at the jumper I’m knitting him, silently berating me for knitting for another man and his current lack of new knit wear. (OK, maybe I’m hamming this up just a tiny bit for dramatic effect đ ) As Drifter is too large and complicated to take on the […]
Not Sure If These Count As “Successes”
Do you remember the string Whale cat toys I made for Ziggy and Kitty ? These little beasties…. From Kitty & Ziggy A friend of ours has a new kitten and I thought I’d make a little whale toy as a gift for the kitten. Ben saw my “gift Whale” and said, “that’s nicer than the […]
Kitten Mittens
âLeave all your other projects and make those, Susan!â said Jenny. âI want to see a finished one.â âAwwwww!!! So CUTE!â said everyone else at Guilty Knitters (Even the non-cat lovers!!) So what could possibly be so cute and engaging that I would abandon my lovely Autumn Rose Sweater and work on them exclusively? It was […]
Travelling Socks
I usually have a pair of socks on the needles, Â ready to grab and stuff in my bag to keep me company when I’m flying. Even the most rigorous airport security has yet to give me grief over a set of 2.5mm wooden dpns and a ball of sock yarn. I take socks on the […]
Getting it Out of the Way
I don’t understand. It should have been a lovely knit – beautiful Nimu yarn and easy but interesting pattern.? So why was the Stripe Study Shawl such a boring slog to finish? I guess it’s because I had to rip it back and start again so I’ve probably knit one and a half of these not […]
