This is a bag which pao gifted me which was made by Di of Clementine’s Shoes all the way from Australia. Inside are preemie hats to be. I don’t think I’ll finish many in January but I’ll keep on working on them during the rest of the year. I’d written the pattern in this lovely [...]
This bag was gifted to me by Sarah. It has received so many compliments! Coincidentally, the contents are also linked to Sarah, too. Trekking socks in colour 108 which happens to be the same yarn that Sarah was using to knit socks in at the moment. I hosted an unwanted present swap party last Friday [...]
On my way to Birmingham, I have to go past Paul, a very nice French bakery who make excellent pistachio macaroons. I managed to finish these socks on Sunday morning, just in time to wear to Birmingham. They were made from Trekking XXL in colourway 184 I had lurking in the stash Merlin didn’t want [...]
I had to go to a meeting in Birmingham yesterday which is a long way (7+ hours round trip) to go in a day so I was allowed to go on Sunday night and stay over which bizarrely was a lot cheaper. I didn’t see huge amounts of Birmingham as I didn’t arrive until 3.30 [...]
I got this lovely Cath Kidston bag from Auntie H this Christmas and it has already been pressed into service to lodge a long-standing WIP. This is the Adriana wrapover cardigan in Jaeger Siena. I don’t know exactly why this has languished for so long (since August 2007!) even but I’m guessing I got scared [...]
This lovely bag was made by my Knitter’s Coffee Swap 3 partner Knittymama herself. Knitter’s Coffee Swap 4 has just opened for signups yesterday – I wonder if I managed to get a spot this time round? This is the Fleece Artist Stormwater Shawl gifted to me by pao. Sarah and I were having a [...]
This bag was received as part of one of Scout’s Indie Swag Club packages. Just perfect for toting a sweater project and pattern. The project is a cardigan made from Kidsilk Aura a thicker sibling of KidCrackSilk Haze. pao gifted me the yarn instead of an Easter egg last year. I managed to get a [...]
I thought it was time to come clean about my WIPs. I will often start something then get discouraged and put it down and knit a few socks, lose my way and forget where I am again. I also have nice collection of bags which my knitting projects reside in… Today’s WIP in the bag [...]
First FO of 09. These were started mid-December and took an age to finish. I’m not sure why they took so long but that 5 hour round trip in the car last Friday gave me plenty of time to finish the second one.
or the “Aha” moment. I took the day off to escort my maiden auntie H to hospital in London to find out more about cochleal transplants and subsequently made a load of interesting discoveries about pao at the same time. The primary one being that pao has to communicate with people all day long now [...]
