When an Old Knit Dies….

Published by on October 11, 2008 | 6 Responses

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

Published by on October 4, 2008 | 3 Responses

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!

Published by on September 17, 2008 | 9 Responses

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?

Published by on August 8, 2008 | 2 Responses

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

Published by on August 6, 2008 | 4 Responses

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 […]

Shopping cure for SKS

Published by on July 6, 2008 | 2 Responses

I keep saying I need a yarn sale. John Lewis kindly obliged me and are having their big, summer yarn sale. I think the rest of the store is having a sale too but let’s focus on what matters here! I really, REALLY don’t need to buy any yarn. Take a peek at the scary […]

These Socks are Cursed

Published by on June 3, 2008 | 3 Responses

I started my Fleece Artist socks way back in November 2007, as light relief from the incredibly difficult intarsia on Eveleen. I showed them to you, in passing, in my post about my stitch markers from B&Q! This was them back then… Since then, they have been sitting looking mournfully at me from the bag […]

Descent into Fuzzy Blackness

Published by on May 30, 2008 | 4 Responses

After my Ebay Boo Boo, I thought I should really give the Kid Soft a whirl. After all, it’s a Rowan yarn I’d never heard of, let alone knit with. It would be educational…. After some research, I found that there’s only two publications for Kid Soft. The Kid Soft Booklet and a “concertina card” […]

I Love Hildegard

Published by on May 27, 2008 | 10 Responses

It seems like ages since I’ve been able to show you a finished garment I’ve made for myself. **Imagine sounds of frantic typing and checking*** Hmmm – it has been months! Back in February, I showed you Branwen! 😯 Time to rectify that shameful situation… Hildegard is finished and she is lovely! I finished sewing […]

Ebay Boo Boo

Published by on May 20, 2008 | 3 Responses

Have you ever had a yarn related accident? Have you ever had a yarn buying accident? I have. I made big Ebay boo boo 🙁 I occasionally sell unwanted yarn on Ebay and often browse the knitting section just to window shop. I need more yarn like a hole in the head 😳 Sometimes, if […]
