So. The shawl is now on its last couple of rows and I’ve started an in the round jumper. Its my own pattern so god help me if it doesn’t fit. It will be a cabled jumper nothing too flash or exceiting. Pretty much I have a plan to cable up the front with a […]

My first finished continentally knitted socks. Made with the aid of a stitch holder for the cables courteous of my late ex father in law from whom I have been kindly given his crafty stuff.

For those who had noticed, my website fell off the face of the earth for a small period yesterday or so, this was due to some technical dull issues I wont bore you with but, could have been avoided, and easily solved with access to the right logs.. which I didnt have. I have a […]
