Big Wool, You WILL Submit To My Will…

Published by on January 31, 2010 | 5 Responses

Knitting my sister some quick and fun hats has kicked my knitting mojo back to life. It also helped that I had to be in the West Country this week for work so was able to make a flying visit to Carol on the way home – she loves the hats and takes half and […]

Hat Need

Published by on January 23, 2010 | 8 Responses

My sister has a hat need. I have needles, an obscene amount of yarn and knit skills. There’s only one way this can turn out 🙂 Given that my knitting has not been going well, I plumped for an easy option that I knew worked. Do you remember the Accidental hat? (Snug from Rowan 42) […]

Ben Wants a Quickie.

Published by on January 20, 2010 | 3 Responses

Ben was very sheepish over Christmas (no wool related pun intended)…he was especially awkward when I was knitting… Finally he found the courage to confess the problem… …he’d lost his Iphone cosy I’d made for him – on the train – Grrrr!!! If you remember, readers, he also lost a hat I’d lovingly made for […]

Bloody Big Wool!

Published by on January 17, 2010 | 11 Responses

I should know better. I don’t have much luck with projects with mega chunky yarn. So why, Oh why readers, when I was struggling to find my knitting mojo with Catrin, did I decide to splurge on 10 balls of Rowan Big wool to make this huge snuggle-fest of a jumper? It’s Ronnie from the […]

Knitting ‘n’ Cats news – tough going…

Published by on December 13, 2009 | 10 Responses

The observant among you may have noticed I’ve not posted much of what I’ve been knitting recently-there’s a reason for that.  It’s not been going so well. Thug and Mewsley have been having a tough time settling in to the new house and they haven’t been up to writing their usual contributions to the site […]

It’s Very Green

Published by on September 26, 2009 | 7 Responses

Thug has been very busy preparing to move house. Fortunately he has still found time to help me with the finishing of Cheer. I would get mad at him sitting on my freshly blocked knitting but how could I resist this face? I did say Cheer wouldn’t take long but pressures of work, preparing for  […]

It Started with the Shoes

Published by on August 27, 2009 | 8 Responses

It started with a new pair of  shoes. A beautiful pair of green canvas wedges,  in the Hobbs sale… I had loved them from afar all summer and stalked them until sale time – 70% off  😀 Happy, Happy, Happy. The problem was, I didn’t have anything that colour in my wardrobe to wear with […]

Katia – another WIP becomes a FO

Published by on August 23, 2009 | 5 Responses

Do you remember Katia?  The “Holiday knitting that didn’t make it“? Now the swine flu is completely gone and Ben and I have both recovered (thankfully) and the house move is steaming ahead (yipee) I was so ashamed of myself for having so many WIPs on the go, I’ve whizzed though and finished Katia! Katia […]

Holiday knitting that didn’t make it

Published by on July 29, 2009 | 4 Responses

I confess. Iris wasn’t the first project I bought to take on holiday with me. I rushed from the travel agent my LYS and snuffled up this cutie, fully intending to save it for the holiday… It’s Katia from the Rowan Lenpur collection. The Lenpur yarn is lovely – soft and very drapey – although […]
