Being Bad…
So Heligan is at the “reknit the top of the sleeve and sew it up” stage – not my most favorite part…. And I have sumptuous new projects begging to be started from Ally Pally… And I a weak and weary from fighting off this stupid cough/cold/flu/bronchitis type thing… So have I diligently finished […]

Heligan Mishap
You must be wondering how Heligan is going…. She has been slow going – mainly because I’ve not had much knitting time – she is an awful lot of moss stitch! I have finished knitting all the parts though 😀 She is currently laying on my dining room table having the bazillion ends tidied, neatened and tugged […]

String of Expletives
“String of Expletives” …Do my non UK readers know what it means? A String of Expletives is an outpouring of several very rude words and curses, one after another. That explains my recent knitting experiences perfectly. It also would make a great name for a knitting blog with the pun on “String”!! The Blanket Jacket […]

It Looked so Much Better in the Picture…
So remember I mentioned the cardigan thing I wasn’t sure about? I am now sure – it’s hideous. I snaffled up 14 balls of Rowan Silk Twist in the sales to make the Blankey Jacket from Rowan Silk Twist Classics. This pattern… From Blanket Jacket from his book… From Blanket Jacket I was a little surprised when […]
