First Sorrel
I promised to show you my first Sorrel, made with Yarn for the Soul’s light fingering in 2021. Fell in love with the “Midnight is a Lonely Place” colourway as it reminded me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night (just been to an immersive Van Gogh exhibition!!) – Can you see what I was seeing? Most […]

Midwinter – Fun with the Back!
I have cracked on with my Midwinter cushion and sewn together two cushion panels. Wanna see? I’m really happy with these… Sewing the blocks together was very fiddley as the dots in the edging of each block made it scream if each stitch was not perfectly aligned. I have learnt that, in mattress stitch, you […]

Midwinter Cushion
Rowan have been doing a Knitalong for Martin Storey’s Midwinter Blanket. (You need to sign up but the pattern, videos etc are free) This is the pattern pic of the blanket, made up of separately knitted fair isle squares in Rowan Felted Tweed… This immediately appealed to me – partly because of the potential to […]

On The Hook
“What’s on the needles now?”, I hear you cry! Erm actually it’s “on the hook” – Crochet hook that is. I’ve got a little Hat Crazy the last couple of weeks – it started with this! The Rowan Margarida Hat in Rowan Cotton Glace (or Handknit Cotton.) I knew I had a bag of left […]

Finally Finished the Monstrous Beast
It started 10 years ago, in 2009, in a yarn buying frenzy in the John Lewis Sale. I joyfully skipped to the checkout with 20 balls of delicious black Rowan RYC Silk Wool DK in my clutches. “That will make Ben a super jumper”, I thought….. Eight years later, in 2017, my constant waving of […]

Fluffy Lilac Kitten
I’ve just finished this! 😀 I cast on in June 2018 but it has been a background project – this isn’t a six month knit 🙂 Cute, Soft & Fluffy. Great colour. Easy to knit Stocking Stitch.Yarn and pattern in stash… When I needed a some plain stocking stitch, as a break from other, more […]

Pretty Little Petal Bibs
I know I’m supposed to be finishing my WIPS but I wanted to make a little gift for my colleague, Manuel, for his impending first child, due in a couple of weeks. I kinda get the impression the baby is not going to wait for me to finish my WIPs so that’s my excuse and […]

Eurovision ABBA Hat
Just a quickie post to show you a “silly” I made for a colleague at work. He was having a huge fancy dress party for the Eurovision Song Contest and was dressing up as Agnetha from Abba (the blond one) He was missing a “Fabulous!”crochet cloche hat (complete with flower on the side) to complete […]

Catching Up with Accessories
Lots to catch up with! I started a great new job after Easter which hasn’t left me a lot of energy for blogging…I have been knitting though! I seem to have finished off a few accessories so I’ll show you those and save the exciting trip I took for my next post 😉 Sugary Stripe […]
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…
