The Kim Hargreaves Curse!
I think someone has put a “Kim Hargreaves Curse” on me! I love her designs but I keep on getting it wrong with stupid errors when I knit them! It’s not like I’m a beginner either is it?? They all turn out OK in the end but if I’m going to mess up it’s on […]

Ohhh, Cashmere….
The green cashmere delight is done. Against the background of the most dull DIY project possible …painting the hall stairs, landing, coat cupboard and airing cupboard plain white instead of a horrid dirty, dark cream which was probably painted on 20 years ago… …With hands so rough from 2 days sanding down paintwork that I […]

Resolutions and Finishing Off
I had forgotten that last new year, the Guilty Knitters and I had made knitting resolutions. And that Jane had written them down. (Damn her!) We had much hilarity, thanks to Jane’s careful note taking, rediscovering these knitterly resolution and admitting by how much we had each succeeded or failed. My resolution had been to […]

Taking Classes – Cracksilk Haze

It made me the KSH junkie I am today…
Halcyon is storming along and so far, is a very enjoyable knit. I’ve made both of the peplums, picked up the stitches for the back – VERY carefully and neatly… From Halcyon and started rampaging towards the armholes … From Halcyon OK I say ‘rampaging’…I probably mean slowly and meticulously plodding through the rows, checking […]

Full of Milky Goodness
Spring is “springing” in the garden and I’ve just finished two thick, dark wintery jumpers. I guess I’ll be needing a new exciting knit that is something summery then? I have been fawning over the new Rowan Magazine, number 47 From Halcyon and trying to decide between my 3 favourites in the book. There’s Harmony… […]

Catching Up
Oh Boy! I seem to have blinked and it’s been over a month since my last blog post – Sorry readers – I’ve been bad and neglected you 🙄 First I was busy with work – but in a good way. Learning new stuff, meeting new people but under some tough deadlines, doing long days […]

Knitted Something I DO Like!
My blog posts have been a bit negative, whiney and full of knitterly woe lately – mainly when Big Wool is being discussed 🙁 High time I tell you about a project I really like 😀 Remember the beret I made for my sister that Thug modelled? This one… I liked it very much and […]
