I did rather enjoy finishing off my bag! I gathered a few pieces together to get my bag all lined. I found a remnant in our local fabric store for a third off that went beautifully with the bag and my friend Annie gave me a corrugated plastic bottom for it. The corrugated plastic piece [...]
I couldn’t post on Monday as Dreamhost were having issues so I couldn’t upload photos of my beautiful sewing project. I wanted to make a crochet hook roll in the same style as the DPN roll I have already so I had a good look at how it was constructed and got the good old [...]
… will be posted on Thursday this week .. Dreamhost have issues tonight and I can’t post the photos of the lovely crochet hook roll I sewed today. On Elsie.
I’m hoping to bring some green cheer to my poor Minnesotan friends who seem to be completely covered in snow. I finished my lovely jade green socks which are just perfect as it is still a tad chilly here. I also finished my wristwarmers which I’m very pleased with. They were very quick to crochet [...]
I had intended to finish my bag and have it ready for today but it remained stubbornly damp so I’m having to show you some other bits and bobs. I had a chat with my designer friend and she recommended a much more pleasing idea for a handle and is going to give me some [...]

This Monday, I want you to use your imagination as some klutz forgot to charge her camera battery. Several things were achieved this past week, but mainly the finishing of the Dover Castle shawl. And you all correctly said, it would be gorgeous and it is. The grey border sets the lavender off nicely and [...]
I was enthralled by Rachel Khoo’s Croque Madame Muffins when I first saw them on her programme about her tiny Paris Kitchen and when my lovely friend made them for a church breakfast, I thought it couldn’t be too hard and I’d have a go myself. Well…. I did. And they were ok. Not terrific. [...]
Help! Here is my dear Dover Castle Shawl. I knitted up the first ball of yarn and am now adding the gray border but I freely admit, I’m not certain. I am torn. I don’t know if I like it like that. I am wondering if I should have knit the gray first then put [...]
