2nd Blogiversary
Woot! W00t! 😀 My Blog is 2 years old today. I can’t believe that I have kept this going for so long. It has been a real pleasure, mainly because of all you readers dropping by and spurring me on! Thank you Readers!! I hope I’ve brightened your day too. I’ve just had a look […]
Commuting Knitting Sock No.3
Just a quickie post to show you my next Commuting, “Knit on the train” sock project. I found a new yarn lurking on John Lewis’ shelves and had to give it a go. It’s Wendy “Happy” sock yarn. I think that is a terrible, cloyingly sugary name for sock yarn but maybe I just have […]
Fast ‘n’ Stripey
Once I’d finished my Hedera socks I needed some commuting knitting. I was mean to Ben. Look, Ben. Look at this lovely ball of yarn. You’d like a pair of socks in this WOULDN’T YOU?? “Urmmmm”, said Ben, looking scared “Is ‘Yes’ the right answer?” I graciously agreed to make Ben a pair of socks […]
Have you knitted a loo seat?
Forgive me readers for I have sinned. It has been two weeks since my blog post… I’m kinda convinced life is out to get me – just when I thought the dental trauma was sorted, I caught a heavy cold and have been knocked for six. All I’ve done is sleep, and drag myself into […]
Purple Scarfery
Well I said it was quick! 😀 I’ve finished my “So Called Scarf” already. It was a great travelling knit until I got onto the second skein on Manos. Then it was too big to fit comfortably in my handbag. I then had to do more of it at home. Mewsley decided to “help” me […]
Even More Emily Blunders
Remember Emily? How I told you about how I’d gone wrong with Emily in this post ? Well, I have a day off today and had planned to get Emily sewn up. The sleeves were done and I had used the long drive to and fro my friend’s at the weekend to knit the neck […]
CrackSilk Haze. I Can Stop Any Time I Want….
I’ve just visited a friend of mine who describes herself as a “Yarn Collector”. She is honest that she doesn’t always intend to use the yarn – she just wants to have it. Pet it. Stroke it. Love it. Of course, part of my visit was being proudly shown her new acquisitions. It was a […]
My So Quick Scarf
You may or may not know about “My So Called Scarf”. It’s a free internet pattern by Allison Issacs available from Imagiknit. It seems like everyone who has seen it has had to have a go and has loved it. Add my name to that long list! 🙂 My lovely sister Carol made me a […]
Viz Does Knitting
Just a quickie post as Ben bought me a copy of Viz magazine because of this “article” 😀 Here’s the text… Love it! Well done Viz! I shall be knitting Ben one of these straight away… 😉
Perfect Knitting Gift Found in Sainsburys!
I am officially trying to start a consumer’s panic buying frenzy on an item in Sainsbury’s. When doing my boring weekly food shop on Sunday, I spotted what is arguably the most reasonably priced, inspired gift for any knitaholic. Its this… A china mug that looks like it is knitted, filled with yummy shortbread!!! And […]
I would have, but I was terrified it was full of moth lavae. It went straight in the dustbin!
Its a real shame about your tumbling blocks cushion. The rest of it is still so pretty I'd be tempted…
The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
