I thought it was about time that I tackled big foot knitted pao his socks for our 7th anniversary. So after a bit of hunting round Ravelry and thinking about elasticity. I settled on the Earl Grey sock pattern by the Yarn Harlot to be knit in a very manly black Regia Silk. The Regia [...]
Since Wednesday last week, we’ve been sitting in our garden a lot. More so today as it is very very hot and cooler in the shade of the garage and the slight breeze. Of course, we did have other plans for today which involved hiring bikes and cycling round Bedgebury Pinetum but once we left [...]
This is how I’m going to look tomorrow. I’m exhausted – possibly from worrying – definitely from waking up at 4am this morning and not being able to get back to sleep. Also, I’ve been very touchy over the last few days – not sure why – sleep deprivation? Hormones? The heat? But I’m just [...]
Doesn’t this cat look familiar? This picture might help Lorraine, is Kitten Chow missing? Even Emma Peel seems to have popped on over to Canterbury Cathedral. They, like some of the delegates, would have been very interested in the large bunny population. Of course, my favourite topical photo of the moment can be found here. [...]
I haven’t seen Sushi for a couple of weeks so I thought he might be due a visit around Monday this week as I’d been seeing him on a Monday every fortnight but there was no sign of him this week. So when I walked into my building this afternoon, he pushed out of the [...]

I’ve been making a bit of progress with my Tour de Fleece challenge. This is the result of about 3 hours of spinning last weekend. I’ve been spinning up some of the sheep’s fleeces we washed last summer. There were more broken bits on the floor than what I’d managed to produce on the wheel. [...]
Last Monday, July 7th, pao and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. It is ever knitter’s dream anniversary. I’ve now got to get on and knit pao’s anniversary present as I’ve not been very organised this year. I’ve got a bit of catching up to do this week as last week went by so quickly [...]
I’ve finished my second pair of Summer of Socks socks last Thursday. They are almost matchy but the second one is slightly out. It has been so busy this week that I’ve not had a lot of time as I’ve been working a lot and we’ve had graduation on this week so I’ve been late [...]
