Ben’s Evil Druid Hoodie
So what do I knit after declaring so loudly that I don’t like variegated yarn? Hmmmm….. Something in Rowan Colourscape maybe? A chunky variegated yarn? It wasn’t my fault! Ben made me do it! After the success of Ben’s Man scarf, I was keen to keep the momentum going and swathe Ben in more knitted loveliness. Ben was duly dragged  to […]

I Just Don’t Like Variegated Yarn…
I spent most of the last week under a duvet, fighting a horrible cold. Could my week get any worse? It did, however, give me the perfect opportunity to finally finish off sewing up my last outstanding WIP – Beatriz in the Louisa Harding Silkwool. I also managed to knit another entire garment but that’s […]

Finally sewed it up!
Do you remember Liliana? This is the picture from the pattern book… From Lilianna I had finished knitting her and just had the neckband and sewing up to do last February when I was overwhelmed by my beautiful furry ginger boy, Thug dying.  I couldn’t face the fiddly sewing up and Liliana was flug to one side […]

Knitting on the Beach
I have learnt from bitter experience that some yarns are not for knitting on the beach. Suncream and silk? …Â disastrous. Kidsilk Haze and hot sweaty hands? … tangled, sticky and unpleasant. Shetland wool and sea water?….. you get the picture huh? So what did I take to Africa? I thought that the perfect yarn would […]

When I saw a bag of 10 skeins of Louisa Harding’s hand dyed Grace Silk DK for a silly bargain price of ÂŁ2.90 a skein I couldn’t resist. Just look at it…isn’t that pretty? From Beatriz Silkwool I eagerly started to look for a pattern to use it… Hmmmmm Actually – there’s not that much […]

The Curse is Broken (and so is my foot!)
I think I’ve finally broken that Kim Hargreaves curse of mine! Still is finished and I’m very pleased. How did I manage to finish so quickly?? That would be because I’ve been off from work since Tuesday after a small operation on my foot. OK,OK so the foot isn’t exactly broken – but I did […]

“Still” Working on the Mojo
Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but, my next project is another Kim Hargreaves. I will break that “Kim Hargreaves Curse” if it kills me! Usually I have at least 10 things I’m itching to start and another 20 patterns I kinda like too. This time there was much gnashing and wailing and flinging of […]

Elizabeth – Too Damned Big
After putting in the effort to finish Elizabeth, I’m disappointed to find, she’s turned out too big đ This really isn’t helping my lack of knitting mojo! I think she wearable but not the sleek, elegant fitted look I was expecting…see what you think…. From Elizabeth It’s ok over the hips but huge under the arms. Mewsley […]
