Hey! I got myself set up at Ravelry as a designer. So far I’ve only uploaded my Cyber Chart (the chart for my cyberman head, that graces G’s sweater), but I have a sock pattern and another, fairisley Doctor Who chart to go up, oh and a hat pattern. I smell another project coming on… Continue reading I’m A Designer!

Stash!
I couldn’t help myself: I bought one of those Webs Grab Bags. It arrived today. I have to admit that, for the money, it looks like a paltry collection. It is mostly DK, fingering or light worsted, and in smallish skiens (mostly under 100 yds) so it doesn’t take up much space. But it’s mine.… Continue reading Stash!
Yarn Fumes
I just suffered my first bout with yarn fumes. I got this email and stood, frozen at my computer for a good five minutes, fingers poised, working out how many sweaters that would be and whether or not I wanted to be tied to this much yarn and how long it would be until I… Continue reading Yarn Fumes
Sweater RSI
OK, so all that 4×2 ribbing left me with a little RSI, so I’ve had to slow down the progress on the Manly Durrow a little. However, I have made it to through the first repeat on the sleeves. (This picture taken a few days ago:) There are some crazy cable instructions on there, but… Continue reading Sweater RSI
Manly Durrow Update
So, I’ve been knitting this manly Durrow and I have to say I’m enjoying it a lot. Especially considering all I’ve really done so far is a lot of 4×2 ribbing. But it’s a worsted weight cushie yarn and it knits up quickly and feels nice and requires just enough attention to stop it being… Continue reading Manly Durrow Update
Miriam’s Heart
My sister sent me a link to a pattern she is using to make a knitted heart and hoping to teach her four year old daughter. She was struggling with some of the instructions so I, being me, thought “I could do better than that” so here’s my effort, which I think will be less… Continue reading Miriam’s Heart

Dying Yarn
Well the yarn turned out looking lovely, and no, you can’t see it because it’s dark and I haven’t taken a picture of it yet. I’ll take one tomorrow in the daylight, I promise. I used jet black and burgundy to make solid stripes (if you can have such a thing) and dotted a mix… Continue reading Dying Yarn
Finishitis
I’ve been a hive of activity recently (can one person be a ‘hive’. I don’t think so. Forget that. I’ve been busy) finishing up projects. And starting them in some cases. And now I’m at a loss. I have no major project on the go and just a stuck sock (can’t remember what needle size… Continue reading Finishitis
