Published by on January 14, 2011 | 9 Responses

Today is this blog’s 4th blogiversary! When I do an annual review of my knitting and blogging achievements, I’m astonished that I’ve kept it up this long. It would never have kept going if you lovely readers hadn’t kept on commenting and encouraging me – Thank you!  😀 I looked back to see what I […]

Populating the Knit-Room

Published by on November 8, 2010 | 19 Responses

The last couple of weeks have been fun in the Knit-Room – more screwdriver action than knitting 🙁 I do have lots to show you though- Prepare for photo overload 🙂 New carpet is down and nice Mr Ikea has left me a huge pile of stuff to build. All there was to do was […]

Getting Lost Has It’s Benefits

Published by on October 16, 2010 | 5 Responses

I’ve finished Ben’s Second Chance Hat.. See here for the reason for that name! I made particularly quick progress returning from Bristol on the train – for all the wrong reasons…. Happily head down and knitting – I looked up and didn’t recognise the next station… “This train is going to London Paddington isn’t it?” […]

Quality not Quantity

Published by on October 14, 2010 | 8 Responses

I took a whole day off work last week, met up with 4 of the Guilty Knitters (Hello to Mel, Judie, Glaucia and Jeni 🙂 ) and had a great day out at the Alexandra Palace Knitting and Stitching Show. (Or Ally Pally to anyone from this corner of the Globe) We battled against signal […]

False Start – Then Progress

Published by on October 3, 2010 | 5 Responses

Yarns firmly under control, I was whizzing along with Flag and getting through the rows on the chart very quickly – too quickly – alarmingly quickly….. Bugger! I had managed to misread this very large, clear instruction at the top of the chart (I’m doing size “S”)… From Flag I read one square as “4 […]

More Excitment from Iceland

Published by on September 27, 2010 | 7 Responses

I have really got the “Iceland” bug! As well as doing my Lopi Course with Ragga Eirikdottir, I’ve now discovered Icelandic Intarsia, courtesy of Helene Magnusson – the other half of Knitting Iceland – and this wonderful pattern of Helene’s from Knitonthenet. This is really tuning out to be a romp – a tale of […]

Taking Classes – Getting All Icelandic

Published by on September 14, 2010 | 6 Responses

So, the Kidsilk Haze workshop was a day of playing, experimentation and fluffy indulgence. The following day I was busy because I played in a Netball tournament for a work team – I’ve played once since school and that was last year’s tournament! A huge amount of fun but not much knitting there! Following Netball, […]

Taking Classes – Cracksilk Haze

What a busy week – and most of it knitting related 😀 I have a back-log (back-blog? blog-log?) of blog posts for you – I just need the time to photograph and write them up – this beats struggling to find something interesting to say about purple square no.93! Part of my busy week has […]

At Last – The Flower Blanket is Done

The Flower Blanket is finally finished 😀 I am so relieved. First I must say, “Thanks you” for all the sympathy, empathy and support on my Despair Filled Wailing post – I think I’ve gotten over it now 😉 Before I show you the inevitable “Finished Blankie” pictures, I guess you’d like to know about […]
