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 […]

Mewsley
After my last post about knitting the Mewsley Paw Print cushion and how well Mewsley had recovered her sight, it is dreadful to have to tell you that she took a turn for the worse and was finally put to sleep on Monday. Mewsley’s kidneys have been declining for several years and she was on […]

Mewsley’s Paw Print
Mewsley needed a treat. A big knitted treat… What I haven’t shared with you yet is that Mewsley has been poorly. The day before we got back from honeymoon, she went blind.. We came down from the joy of the honeymoon pretty fast, I can tell you. Thug coped really well with being blind, Mewsley […]

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 – […]

Finally sewed it up!
Do you remember Liliana? This is the picture from the pattern book… From Lilianna I had finished knitting her and just had the neckband and sewing up to do last February when I was overwhelmed by my beautiful furry ginger boy, Thug dying.  I couldn’t face the fiddly sewing up and Liliana was flug to one side […]

Knitting on the Beach
I have learnt from bitter experience that some yarns are not for knitting on the beach. Suncream and silk? …Â disastrous. Kidsilk Haze and hot sweaty hands? … tangled, sticky and unpleasant. Shetland wool and sea water?….. you get the picture huh? So what did I take to Africa? I thought that the perfect yarn would […]
