A while ago, I knitted a sample project for a UK magazine (it will be in the April issue of said magazine, woot woot!) and I got to keep some of the leftover yarn. Who would complain about that? Certainly not me, especially considering that the yarn was a very very scrummy baby alpaca. It . . . → Read More: Little shawlette of scrumminess

I need to get better at this posting thing!… To my defense, I have been plagued with headaches / migraines over the last couple of weeks. I’m feeling better now, but there’s nothing like a splitting headache and nausea to stop you from using your computer. I’m being very careful of sudden light changes and . . . → Read More: Laminaria

I blogged yesterday about my eczema and how it was . . . → Read More: Madli

Bitterroot

I have finally finished my Bitterroot shawlette. The knitting had been finished for nearly a month (see this earlier post), but it needed to be washed and blocked to be considered fully finished.

I bought some blocking wires, which helped a lot. But I think I could have blocked it even harder. I did block . . . → Read More: Bitterroot

Ooooh Ooooh! Miss you!

The upstairs neighbour is listening to The Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” on repeat, so that kinda inspired the title of this blog post… Same neighbour who almost got us killed a couple of months ago. Not sure I blogged about it then. Long story short: while he was away, one of his gas pipes broke . . . → Read More: Ooooh Ooooh! Miss you!
