As you can see from the cover this book is about making some really nice mosaic like shapes all the ones on the outside are motifs the inside has man repeating ones which would be great to do blankets in with maybe the motifs in odd places. However how she explains to make it seems […]

Ok I added a tape measure for perspective of size this time. As you can see suddenly it looks so small. Yes. That’s inches but even so. As I said. I’ve sewn with thicker stuff than this. Its certainly not going to be a wear for warmth thing now is it. However I do think […]

Shawl grew. I tried 2 colours I thought would work for a double knitted baby blanket. While they seemed strong enough contrasts in the bag. Wasn’t the case in use. Sigh.

So. Oddly I am choosing to make another shawl. Only this one is with cobweb weight wool. Heck I’ve sewen with thicker thread! I am probably using far too small a needle by most standards but I’m liking how its turning out. Next up I think is a double knitted blanket. Problem is I’m 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.

Well its certainly grown. Maybe not as much as I would like but do remember it grows by 4 stitches every other row and so it has many stitches now. To the point I can’t even stretch it out now because the circular needle isn’t long enough. But is plenty long enough to knit with […]

Yes. Ok so I’m really getting into this knitting lark. So manned up and got some lace weight wool and holy cow is this stuff soft! So. I started this this morning. I’ve had a few moments when I thought it was going wrong. But I think it looks rather nice!

Tthought I would show you a little more what it looked like before I banish it from the world

So. This was a free designed one. I wanted to have a fairly solid pattern however I’ve stuffed up one of the corners so its gonna be frogged and the 4 hole motif I made looks more like a mistake than anything else. I wanted to make a fairly large square shawl type thing. I […]
