Paid in Full in Bacon
The Salford Scarf took me 9 days to knit and it is lovely but jealousy may be a problem…. 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 […]

Heligan is Beautiful!

Iconic
My “Completed Knit” Icon post could be very short. The word, “WOW” is enough to sum it up!! This dress is such a pleasure to knit and so bang on trend it hurts. It really is an “Iconic” knit. I love, love love the way that you start at the bottom hem and the rows […]

Distracted by Cat Toys
I’ve had my attention diverted by cat toys. And string. Why on earth would cat toys be of interest to me when I don’t have a cat. Not since last year when Thug, and in February,  Mewsley succumbed to old age? Could it be that we have adopted new cats??!! I would like to introduce Ziggy and Kitty. From Kitty […]

Scarf Envy
I am guilty of one of the seven deadly sins…Envy. Ever since I made Ben his Man-Scarf, I have been secretly coveting it… As I didn’t want to” endanger my mortal soul” I took steps to alleviate my envy. Did I steal Ben’s scarf and wear it in secret? Ummm, No. -that would be silly! I resolved […]

Ben’s Evil Druid Hoodie
So what do I knit after declaring so loudly that I don’t like variegated yarn? Hmmmm….. Something in Rowan Colourscape maybe? A chunky variegated yarn? It wasn’t my fault! Ben made me do it! After the success of Ben’s Man scarf, I was keen to keep the momentum going and swathe Ben in more knitted loveliness. Ben was duly dragged  to […]

I Just Don’t Like Variegated Yarn…
I spent most of the last week under a duvet, fighting a horrible cold. Could my week get any worse? It did, however, give me the perfect opportunity to finally finish off sewing up my last outstanding WIP – Beatriz in the Louisa Harding Silkwool. I also managed to knit another entire garment but that’s […]

That was Quick!
The long awaited Ben scarf was all over in 3 days đŻ I really enjoyed the mindless long rows of knit and the regular gratification of finishing a stripe. I cast off with a 4.5mm needle (was knit on 4mm) and made sure it wasn’t too tight (I used a cable cast on BTW – […]
