Ally Pally – Fully Laden
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 […]

Enough FOs! Here’s a couple of WIPS!
I thought you might be getting bored with “here’s another completed FO (Finished Object)” so here’s a quickie post about what’s on my needles right now… I have 2 WIPs (Works in Progress) – Gasp! 😮 I know I normally only have one WIP because I like to focus on one thing at a time […]

Anti Summer Knitting Slump Socks
As you may have already guessed – I’ve had SKS (Summer Knitting Slump) really bad! Knitting, blogging, even buying yarn all seemed another chore I had to fit in. I even considered stopping blogging ! I think I had been pushing too hard at reducing my WIPs and getting through my queue without stopping to […]

Two Finished Objects!
Looking at my blog recently, you might think all I do is buy yarn and never knit it! I have been knitting and trying to finish some of the numerous WIPs I suddenly discovered I had when I blogged back in September in the post “Whirlwind Update“. I have, in fact, finished two of those […]

Sock Yarn Bargain

Shivering and Knitless
Picture it readers, a shivering, knitless Ben, looking imploringly at the jumper I’m knitting him, silently berating me for knitting for another man and his current lack of new knit wear. (OK, maybe I’m hamming this up just a tiny bit for dramatic effect 😉 ) As Drifter is too large and complicated to take on the […]

Travelling Socks
I usually have a pair of socks on the needles, ready to grab and stuff in my bag to keep me company when I’m flying. Even the most rigorous airport security has yet to give me grief over a set of 2.5mm wooden dpns and a ball of sock yarn. I take socks on the […]

Commuting Knitting Sock No.3
Just a quickie post to show you my next Commuting, “Knit on the train” sock project. I found a new yarn lurking on John Lewis’ shelves and had to give it a go. It’s Wendy “Happy” sock yarn. I think that is a terrible, cloyingly sugary name for sock yarn but maybe I just have […]
