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

Published by on January 7, 2009 | 6 Responses

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 […]

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

Published by on December 6, 2008 | 4 Responses

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 […]

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….

Published by on November 24, 2008 | 22 Responses

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 […]

Perfect Knitting Gift Found in Sainsburys!

Published by on October 13, 2008 | 16 Responses

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 […]
