The cowl in question is “The Purl Soho Stitch Block Cowl” – a beautiful cowl using 3 different slip stitch patterns and written to use Purl Soho’s own Worsted Twist yarn. […]

An exciting, eventful month! Now to catch up with blogging it all….. I had a holiday in Skiathos, Greece (hot, sunny, lovely beach holiday), My lovely sister Carol and her husband Steve stayed in my house and “cat sat” for me while we whooped it up in Skiathos (I had to make sure my tiny […]

Heligan is Beautiful!

Last time I told you about Heligan, she had been pushed to one side while I got excited about knitting the Icon dress. She was in the middle of being sewn up and Kitty was lending a paw… From With the Christmas break (and Kitty’s help) I’ve finished and she is lovely – if a […]

Tension Hell-again with Heligan

Tension Hell-again with Heligan

Published by on August 4, 2012 | 8 Responses

GHAAAAAAAaaaa! 👿 You know I said I had gotten to the armholes on Heligan? There was a helpful line in the pattern which said, “If row tension is correct, back will measure 25.5 cm from cast on edge…” I like notes like that in a pattern – they let you know if you’re on track…or […]

The Return to Hildegard

Published by on May 16, 2008 | 1 Response

That title is too good for a blog post! It should be an action movie, maybe an archaeology professor fighting Nazi baddies and hunting for the lost knitted treasures of Hildegard? The sequel could be “Raiders of the Lost Stash Box”?? But I digress. Back to reality – which isn’t quite as exciting. I have […]

It Fits!

Published by on May 9, 2008 | 4 Responses

I’ve just had the phone call I was expecting from birthday boy, Steve – His Bowie fits! I was pretty anxious about it – I had measured Steve carefully before I started but there was the grain of doubt. I am relieved and pleased. Steve really liked Bowie and was genuinely chuffed with it 😀 […]
