“Still” Working on the Mojo

Published by on September 18, 2011 | 5 Responses

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but, my next project is another Kim Hargreaves. I will break that “Kim Hargreaves Curse” if it kills me! Usually I have at least 10 things I’m itching to start and another 20 patterns I kinda like too. This time there was much gnashing and wailing and flinging of […]

Elizabeth – Too Damned Big

Published by on September 11, 2011 | 10 Responses

After putting in the effort to finish Elizabeth, I’m disappointed to find, she’s turned out too big 🙁 This really isn’t helping my lack of knitting mojo! I think she wearable but not the sleek, elegant fitted look I was expecting…see what you think…. From Elizabeth It’s ok over the hips but huge under the arms. Mewsley […]

The Kim Hargreaves Curse!

Published by on May 22, 2011 | 16 Responses

I think someone has put a “Kim Hargreaves Curse” on me! I love her designs but I keep on getting it wrong with stupid errors when I knit them! It’s not like I’m a beginner either is it?? They all turn out OK in the end but if I’m going to mess up it’s on […]

Something That’s Not a Blanket

Published by on August 30, 2010 | 3 Responses

You must be as bored with my “knitted some more blanket squares….” posts as I am trying to finish the damned Flower Blanket. Be assured I’m still slogging over the purple monster 😐 So just by way of some light relief for all of us, I’ve dug out an old, pre blog , never seen […]

Worst EVER!

Published by on February 21, 2010 | 9 Responses

Three guesses how Ronnie, the Big Wool Sloppy Joe turned out… Here’s a clue… Yep, it’s bonfire time. I finished the beast last week but have been so disapointed, I couldn’t bring myself to blog it 🙁 It is huge. It’s probably too huge for my sister too. I fact – it’s too huge for […]

Big Wool, You WILL Submit To My Will…

Published by on January 31, 2010 | 5 Responses

Knitting my sister some quick and fun hats has kicked my knitting mojo back to life. It also helped that I had to be in the West Country this week for work so was able to make a flying visit to Carol on the way home – she loves the hats and takes half and […]

Bloody Big Wool!

Published by on January 17, 2010 | 11 Responses

I should know better. I don’t have much luck with projects with mega chunky yarn. So why, Oh why readers, when I was struggling to find my knitting mojo with Catrin, did I decide to splurge on 10 balls of Rowan Big wool to make this huge snuggle-fest of a jumper? It’s Ronnie from the […]

The Culling of the Wardrobe…

Published by on May 23, 2009 | 5 Responses

My wardrobes are overflowing – which is very bad as I remodelled to bedroom two years ago and made more wardrobe space! I’ve been very disciplined lately and taken great bags full of “stuff” to the charity shop. Now the hard bit…I need to cull the shelf where my hand knits live. I found three […]

Have you knitted a loo seat?

Published by on December 19, 2008 | 2 Responses

Forgive me readers for I have sinned. It has been two weeks since my blog post… I’m kinda convinced life is out to get me – just when I thought the dental trauma was sorted, I caught a heavy cold and have been knocked for six. All I’ve done is sleep, and drag myself into […]

…and Emily Looked so Easy??

Published by on October 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

You could be forgiven for wondering what I’ve been knitting when not on a train doing the Hedera socks. I do have a second projects on the go! Yes, YES, I KNOW. “One WIP at a time” is my mantra – but a travelling sock doesn’t count. So there! 🙂 My current “not travelling” project […]
