I Like The B-Side Better…
I’ve really enjoyed the burst of creativity in making my Conservatory Cushion and I love the logic bound technique for combining the colours. Fabulous pattern 🙂 Here’s the finished creation… From Double Vision Cushion And in place in the conservatory… From Double Vision Cushion The slightly different gauge yarns I used (all apparently DK weight) […]

It made me the KSH junkie I am today…
Halcyon is storming along and so far, is a very enjoyable knit. I’ve made both of the peplums, picked up the stitches for the back – VERY carefully and neatly… From Halcyon and started rampaging towards the armholes … From Halcyon OK I say ‘rampaging’…I probably mean slowly and meticulously plodding through the rows, checking […]

Full of Milky Goodness
Spring is “springing” in the garden and I’ve just finished two thick, dark wintery jumpers. I guess I’ll be needing a new exciting knit that is something summery then? I have been fawning over the new Rowan Magazine, number 47 From Halcyon and trying to decide between my 3 favourites in the book. There’s Harmony… […]

Catching Up
Oh Boy! I seem to have blinked and it’s been over a month since my last blog post – Sorry readers – I’ve been bad and neglected you 🙄 First I was busy with work – but in a good way. Learning new stuff, meeting new people but under some tough deadlines, doing long days […]

And something for the birds…
One of the great pleasure of my lovely new house is that there is a pretty tree and some shubs in the garden, outside of the kitchen window. The tree is the PERFECT place to hang bird feeders! I waste an awful lot of potential knitting time watching the birds and squealing when I spot […]

My blog posts have been a bit negative, whiney and full of knitterly woe lately – mainly when Big Wool is being discussed 🙁 High time I tell you about a project I really like 😀 Remember the beret I made for my sister that Thug modelled? This one… I liked it very much and […]

Worst EVER!
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…
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 […]

Hat Need
My sister has a hat need. I have needles, an obscene amount of yarn and knit skills. There’s only one way this can turn out 🙂 Given that my knitting has not been going well, I plumped for an easy option that I knew worked. Do you remember the Accidental hat? (Snug from Rowan 42) […]

Ben Wants a Quickie.
Ben was very sheepish over Christmas (no wool related pun intended)…he was especially awkward when I was knitting… Finally he found the courage to confess the problem… …he’d lost his Iphone cosy I’d made for him – on the train – Grrrr!!! If you remember, readers, he also lost a hat I’d lovingly made for […]
It looks terrific! The two stripes really look great together.
Looking good ! x
