Stitch Markers “Red Wave” Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. These stitch markers will be winging their way to somone from the Stitch Marker Exchange, later this month.

Cedar McGee Hat
Cedar McGee Hat Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. Baby hats are a big favourite with me. Almost-instant gratification and little tracking required.
Key Cover
Key Cover Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. Ha! I love having a useful hobby. The handle came off my car key. It’s one of those big black keys with electronics in it and a key part that whips out like a switchblade. It also had a handle on one end that let me attach it to… Continue reading Key Cover
Lorna’s Laces Super Sock – Flame

It’s one of those moments when I want to drop everything (including two incredibly cute boys) and cast on. Then I remembered that once I had wound the Black Watch version of this I was… Continue reading Lorna’s Laces Super Sock – Flame

DEATH!
Aaarghhh! Death arrived in the mail today, from Wyoming , not the West Country as I had expected (I had read the sidebars of Yarn-Monkey’s site incorrectly). The socks are lovely, made of Plymouth Colorspun DK (75% Acrylic, 25% Wool), which means they’ll probably last longer than the ones I made. They fit perfectly and… Continue reading DEATH!
Trekking XXL Handwarmers
Trekking XXL Handwarmers Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. As promised, a picture of my handwarmers. Tell me those people who dyed this aren’t artists. I’m knitting mitt covers for them now, because I know I’m going to want to wear them past the coolth of autumn (which has yet to reach us). I’m happy with them.… Continue reading Trekking XXL Handwarmers
