So. I had another go. I got the pattern I tried for this time. I also didn’t start the way they said. But I wove the yellow in and out of the red which gives a much nicer start in my opinion. Again. Sorry for the phone camera pictures. Its easier and quicker for little […]

So. I have to say. I didn’t do the pattern I was trying to do. It sounded simple on paper. But this wasn’t it. I can however see roughly where I went wrong. It was supposed to be a zigzag, this is actually a variant on one called bargello, eg, I got it wrong. Will […]

So, now I have finished sewing the ends in Petey’s blanket, I wonder what to make next. I did get me this Which is a book about doublesided blankets, the premise is simple enough. May have to give it a go.

As a child I was taught to knit, hated it. Hated it with a lot of passion too. It would take me months to knit the back of a childs sweater, even a simple one, so by the time I got to the end of that, I had run out of interest in making the […]

So, I enjoy making patterns of things, and its dawned on me that there maybe people out there who would like to make some of my patterns. So, I had a thought. If I make some patterns, I feel I should charge for them, I don’t tend to charge for anything else I do, so, […]

So, I finally sewed the squares together, having completed enough for the current round. I believe I have a minimum of 2 more rounds to go before I can argue it could be finished. To be honest I am sick of this blanket, I don’t dislike granny squares to make, its the sewing them together. […]

Normally, Im the first person to say I hate granny squares, but, I have a cunning plan so am I working on a number of granny squares which will be sewn together to form a nice big blanket – Ive seen a few ways to join them together that seemed fairly striking so, I’ll see […]

So, I have mentioned the “How I did that” section, Im working on it, but I want to mention most some software I use to do what I do. Im working on part 4 of the how I did that where I talk about them, but, I use a cross stitch program, sound daft? Well, […]

For those who visit the site rather than read the blog you may have noticed ive been posting some pages on “How I did that” as to how I make my patterns and so on. Take a look, drop me a note on what you think, and things you want me to add!

My plans are to put some “How I did that” pages/posts together. While I don’t view what I do as exciting or complicated, I do know that sometimes its just because maybe you never thought it that way. First plan is making a pattern – now, if i give you an idea of my general […]
