Just a quick entry really as I don’t have much to say but am aware I haven’t been on for a few days.

I have decided to add a new feature to my website.
Most (normal!) people detest Mondays. Monday is the beginning of the new working week and the weekend seems a million miles away. So, each Monday I think I will put something up that I find quite amusing, something to cheer everyone up slightly.

Just a quick entry. I have started my first ever jumper! This is the largest garment I have ever started. It is quite daunting. I have already had to frog it once. But that’s the trials and tribulations of a sweater

It’ll probably be finished a year next October!

I finished the first of my tidal waves socks so, before I cast on the second, I decided to create the Lace Edged Women’s Hat from Head Huggers.
This was knit using 4mm straight and circular needles and some Debbie Bliss Rialto extra fine merino yarn.
My goodness. This knit was complex. Because I read [...]
