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 […]
When an Old Knit Dies….
First a confession – I’ve barely knit this week. I’ve been on an intensive training course for work all week- my evenings were “study til you fall asleep” territory 😯 When I got home on Friday and changed clothes, I pulled out an old knit from the back of the wardrobe to relax in…. Oh […]
Train of Thought
My new job is stealing all my knitting time. I’m having to fit my yarn addiction in where I can. For those of you who have been impressed in the past by my previous (unemployed) super-productivity , you can sit back and gloat right about now – progress is so slow! For my current work […]
Cats Squabble Over Completed Haven!
I’ve had problems with the cats and Haven. It’s finished but there have been squabbles! Firstly, Mewsley has been rather jealous of all the attention Thug has been getting. She decided that SHE was going to do the snugglablity testing for Haven. After much pawing (and a little drooling) she decided that it was soft […]
How Could I Forget to Blog This?
I was just looking at a Knitting Forum and saw a query about Rowan Tapestry. “I’ll add my two-penny’s worth into that thread”, I thought, “Where’s those piccies I used to blog about Ben’s “Serge” jumper I made in Tapestry?” I couldn’t find the pictures. I couldn’t find the blog post about the jumper. I […]
Coffee Frappe to Go
It’s finally sewn up. As you may have guessed, I didn’t do much sewing up on Frappe while I was enslaved I mean staying with Carol last week. The rest of the sewing went without incident once I sat down and did it. So here she is finished… I think she looks rather smart. A […]
I do that too. I always put a stitch marker at my wrap and turns or I'd never recognize when…
What a beauty, I love it. As someone who also indulges in a little light trafficking , there is no…
It's beautiful. What a treasure. We used to smuggle wine/liquors when returning from Europe. Yarn seems much safer.
It's an unusually cold and wet summer here in England. 17C today! Sorrel was very welcome 🙂
Your advent fade really turned out well. I pink and purple one would be beautiful too. I can't imagine wearing…
