Meet Timmy
Thought it was time you met the other feline in the house. This is Timmy. By far the most timid member of this household. The photograph is taken in Lily’s room, and the real reason I have posted it is to see if anyone can spot what Lily’s been reading in bed. Like mother, like […]

Summertime
Well I did say that I was “just gonna keep casting on”. Pontiac is not going to be the most exciting knit, process-wise, but it’s certainly a good one for whilst you’re watching TV. A very simple 4-row pattern repeat, and no side-shaping makes it a no-brainer really. Not that I haven’t been known to […]

Tortoise torture
It’s headless and legless, and destined to stay that way for a while. I suppose it was inevitable that Lily’s tortoise project (yes I did call it a turtle in earlier posts) would end up with me. To give her credit, she did sew all the little pieces together. Although she was getting cheesed off with […]

Just for frills
Just the first of a few things I know I’m going to cast on this week. I’m not even going to try to resist it either. Just gonna keep on casting on. All the lovely comments on the Scroll socks have induced some sort of knitting delirium I think – thanks for those everyone! The […]

A record
Two posts in one day. That’s something new for me. Lily really wanted to wear these socks today, but I wouldn’t let her until they’d been photographed. I know, it’s tragic. Pattern: Scroll from More Sensational Knitted Socks Yarn: Lornas Lace’s Shepherd Sock Solid. Aqua. About 1 and a half skeins for a ladies Small […]

Some weather
A bit more than we expected! This took us by surprise on Sunday morning. A fun (and wet) time was had by all though. Despite taking several knitting projects with me, I actually only worked on the Scroll socks which are now finished (photograph to come when Lily can be bothered to model them). I didn’t even touch […]

A few essentials
As you can see, I have my packing priorities right. There are no clothes in the caravan yet but our knitting is ready to go! The weather here is a bit blustery and I’m less than happy about the drive up to the Lakes with the wind blowing the caravan about. Should make for nice […]

Pontiac
So, I’ve just been sorting out which projects I want to take away with me this weekend, and I found this in the Stash bag with the all seasons cotton. It’s not good when you buy so much yarn you forget you’ve bought it within days is it? It’s Regia silk sock yarn. I love […]

Is this sad?
My bedside table. There used to be some fairly decent literature here. These days it’s just home to a selection of knitting books – it’s all I seem to read these days. Even Lily does it. I can always find a few stray pattern books in her room too. We’re going to the Lake District […]

Raven
This one’s for Joel. It’s Raven from The Rowan Story Book of Little Knits. I’m using ’all seasons cotton’ again, which is the recommended yarn and is perfect for kids sweaters, I think. This is my first cable project, and so far I’m really enjoying it. These kids knits are just the perfect project size for me. […]
