Rain, Rain Go Away

Laura | June 30, 2007

Well, today we were going to take a trip out to Heaths Country Store. It is a shop I’ve been wanting to visit for ages. The website is just so lovely and the shop looks so quaint. And, well, I don’t ever need an excuse to buy more yarn (or so I [...]

FO: Booga Bag

Laura | June 27, 2007

This evening, I have finished off my Booga Bag.

Yesterday, during my ’snow’ day, I felted it in my washing machine. It was so much fun! It came out smaller and fluffy
Seriously, though. This was a really good, quick knit. I spent 10 days on this project, from start to finish, [...]

Flooding and Felting

Laura | June 26, 2007

Today I am not at work. It is a ’snow’ day. However, not because of snow, but the floods that have affected Sheffield [news.bbc.co.uk]. Many schools are closed, including *all* the schools in my area, roads are closed, including the M1 from junction 36 to 32 and a major dam looks like [...]

What to Knit

Laura | June 23, 2007

I don’t know what to knit. I am at a bit of a loss, really. I just don’t know what to knit.
I have things that I would like to knit and eventually knit but right now, I don’t know what to knit. I know I *want* to knit and I have the [...]

No Real Knitting News …

Laura | June 20, 2007

… but an update all the same!
Knitting hasn’t really happened recently for a variety of reasons. Mainly the fact that my husband recently purchased a Wii, so I have been playing that lots and lots
Also, life has been hectic because someone bumped my car yesterday, so need to get that sorted. Gah. [...]

Yummy Noro

Laura | June 16, 2007

Today I have mostly been knitting using Noro Kureyon. I bought loads from eBay and got a bargain:

I bought 10 balls of Noro Kureyon. I have never knitted with this yarn before and I am absolutely loving it. It is such yummy yarn. I have fallen in love with it. [...]

Different Shades of Blue

Laura | June 10, 2007

I am currently on my second basic sock. I ran out of yarn so needed some more. These are biiiiig socks! But I am enjoying knitting with them as the yarn is so yummy (colinette jitterbug).
I ordered a second skein from Get Knitted [getknitted.com] and have now started knitting the second sock. [...]

Admin

Laura | June 8, 2007

Just a little note …
For some reason, only some of my comments are being emailed to me. This is quite annoying. I don’t want to allow you to just post without needing approval as I am getting an awful lot of spam comments that I, obviously, don’t want to fill my site with. [...]

A ‘No Photo’ Entry

Laura | June 7, 2007

No photos today as I am feeling so tired. I just don’t have the energy to find the camera, take photos, upload resize etc etc. I was so tired that I nearly fell asleep in class. One child caught me and shouted across the class “Miss, you’re falling asleep!” I decided [...]

Oooopsie

Laura | June 1, 2007

In my last entry, Jen asked me about the yarn I am using for my lace shawl. The yarn is Bright Dyes Laceweight yarn and it is really quite yummy. However, it is very fiddly and on the aluminium needles, extremely hard to work with. At the end of my first knit [...]
