Irresistible Yarn

Published by on October 30, 2011 | 5 Responses

When I saw a bag of 10 skeins of Louisa Harding’s hand dyed Grace Silk DK for a silly bargain price of £2.90 a skein I couldn’t resist. Just look at it…isn’t that pretty? From Beatriz Silkwool I eagerly started to look for a pattern to use it… Hmmmmm Actually – there’s not that much […]

The Curse is Broken (and so is my foot!)

Published by on September 26, 2011 | 5 Responses

I think I’ve finally broken that Kim Hargreaves curse of mine! Still is finished and I’m very pleased. How did I manage to finish so quickly?? That would be because I’ve been off from work since Tuesday after a small operation on my foot. OK,OK so the foot isn’t exactly broken – but I did […]

“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 […]

Ohhh, Cashmere….

Published by on May 8, 2011 | 13 Responses

The green cashmere delight is done. Against the background of the most dull DIY project possible …painting the hall stairs, landing, coat cupboard and airing cupboard plain white instead of a horrid dirty, dark cream which was probably painted on 20 years ago… …With hands so rough from 2 days  sanding down paintwork that I […]

Resolutions and Finishing Off

Published by on January 29, 2011 | 8 Responses

I had forgotten that last new year, the Guilty Knitters and I had made knitting resolutions. And that Jane had written them down. (Damn her!) We had much hilarity, thanks to Jane’s careful note taking, rediscovering these knitterly resolution and admitting by how much we had each succeeded or failed. My resolution had been to […]
