It’s that time of year again – Where I shamefully confess  (But inwardly giggle with glee) to utter indulgence at the Alexandra Palace Knitting and Stitching Show 😀 I went Thursday, set an overly generous budget and managed to spend most of it! I was bad… I know some of my readers will have gone […]

I made the mistake of asking the lovely Ben what to title this blog post – I don’t think he was feeling particularly inspired this morning. “Green Thing”, was his instant answer. “That doesn’t really conjurer up a beautiful, lace shawl does it?”, I said. “Here is a beautiful lace shawl wot I made and some pictures of it.

It did, however, give me the perfect opportunity to finally finish off sewing up my last outstanding WIP – Beatriz in the Louisa Harding Silkwool.

When I saw a bag of 10 skeins of Louisa Harding’s hand dyed Grace Silk DK for a silly bargain price of £2.90 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 […]

Top Secret – Declassified

Published by on December 22, 2008 | 7 Responses

Do you remember, way back in March, how excited I was to be knitting as sample for KnitOnTheNet?  I first blogged it in “Top Secret Project – Shhhhh“.  The big downer of the project was that I couldn’t show it to you until the book it was for was out (understandable really!) Guess what, A […]

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 […]
