One of my other hobbies is photography, I don’t know much about the technical aspects, but I do enjoy pointing my camera at random things whilst I’m out and about, with the result that I’ve got a lot of photos on my computer, just sitting there gathering (virtual) dust. So I decided that I’d have [...]

I think I have a new favourite yarn. It used to be Silk Garden, but whilst I still love it, there is a limit to the number of stripy garments one woman needs, so I’ve more or less stopped using it. (There may be a little lurking in my stash. Just possibly.) But last year [...]
My Yoke is Tangled

It’s done! Thirteen days of knitting, and one day to block, and I’ve turned five and a half balls of Felted Tweed into a Tangled Yoke cardigan :) No modelled shots today, the weather’s dreadful and my flu isn’t as better as I thought it was, so I won’t inflict my washed out features on [...]
Winter Warmer

During the freezing weather before Christmas, the knit I wore most was my green Peaks Island Hood, made about this time last year. The Rowan Cocoon was part of the Great Kemps Haul, and there was more lurking upstairs, so when I found myself without an easy project to take to my parents’ with me [...]

The only good part about having flu is that after the first few days of not being able to get out of bed, I had enough energy to get as far as the sofa, put the TV on, and pick up my knitting needles. I quickly finished my last project (more of that later when [...]
Daisy for Daisy

I was at a loose end, knitting-wise, the weekend before Christmas, so I decided to run up a quick cardigan for my niece, Daisy. When she was born I searched for patterns called Daisy, and queued Stephanie Pearl-McFee’s Daisy cardigan, from Knitty, and it seemed ideal for a quick knit. But there was a problem, [...]
2010 in review

This came through on an email from WordPress, with a handy link to share it here – I was cheered by it, so I thought I would! And I love that they picked out the photo of Casey at the Ravelry party. Thanks to everyone who’s visited, do stay around :) The stats helper monkeys [...]
Happy New Year!

Yes, I’m still here, just a little overwhelmed, first by Christmas (I always get overwhelmed by Christmas), then by flu, which hit me like a ton of bricks last Tuesday. I was fine driving home on Monday, Tuesday morning I had a sore throat, Tuesday afternoon I was back in bed and asleep, which is [...]
