a proper pattern

| August 24, 2013

So. Having worked out I’m stupid at silly o’clock in the morning. Here is the first patterned bit I made. The two yarns were not equal sized but here you go. the back isn’t quite what I imagined in that it is sort of the same bit more striped. Still doesn’t look too bad For […]

an eventful day

| August 24, 2013

So. I got to work this morning and posted a bid on an item on eBay. It was almost too good to be true from the price. Only downside. It was a collect only item. From a rather non local place. But. For the price it would still be worth the trip. Although time would […]

cardigan

| August 10, 2013

So. I finished and sewed together. Only the neck isn’t quite right. But otherwise. Not bad. What do you think?

it was the wrong day to be thinking of fat jumpers

| July 7, 2013

It was seriously hot ana muggy. inside my house was over 28 and its not a lot less now at nearly midnight. There is little breeze. But I thought I didn’t do too bad. Its hard to see the 3 cables front and back I did consider doing them in a different colour I think […]

the shawl is done

| July 4, 2013

Yay. Finally. Ok so it hasn’t stretched with this yarn like the last did. Grr. however I know the second picture is hard to see being white on white but you can probably make it out. The pre picture is best. Oh and yes that is the patchwork quilt I made well one side of […]

Knitting

| June 30, 2013

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 […]

still growing

| June 27, 2013

Well. That’s kind of the last row by the pattern but I didn’t like the way it finished before. I’m not sure what best to do all I know is I didn’t like the edging and finishing section of the last. Now. Part of me says make it a lot of holes but at least […]

double knitting

| June 25, 2013

So. Here’s the pattern and my produce. Yes. There is a mistake on the white side the bottom right curl and on the black bottom left curl I got a stitch wrong. Bite me. The cast on was a crap one but sufficient for this test. I was not pleased with how the pattern shows […]
