Looking back at October

November 1, 2012

Let’s start with some Oxford Kitchen Yarns news: Yesterday I took a whole load of DK and Aran to Jo at Darn it and Stitch, which has pretty much cleared me out of both weights for the next couple of weeks. So head there if that’s what you’re looking for. In other news the super [...]

Things Right Now

October 15, 2012

It is birthday season in our family (one down, one to go) so I’ve been crafting away trying to get presents sorted (and made). Hence the knitted wig on my knee in the above photos. I do love a good, small, knitted wig. The crafting has been hampered by being a bit cold and very [...]

Where did I go?

August 20, 2012

It’s scary writing this post. Mainly because it takes a lot of wrangling with my negative inner voice to put it out there. But I can feel that how I blog is changing and that’s why I haven’t been here in any real way for months now. Which makes me sad. Here are the bare [...]

Knitting and Reading

June 21, 2012

I’m a day late for Small Things Yarn Along but I have knitting, I have books so I’m going to play anyway. First off – I’m knitting a (very) belated ‘Hurrah, you’ve been born!’ present that hopefully we be given at the weekend. It’s in OxfordKitchenYarns BFL/Bamboo Sock yarn, which I love knitting with. I’m knitting [...]

Knitting and Reading

May 16, 2012

A photo full of things I am currently enjoying! The book is I Thought it Was Just Me (But it Isn’t): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy and Power by Brene Brown, a great book about a difficult subject – shame. I am just reading a little at a time, trying to let it sink [...]

Back to Basics (or The Return of the Shop.)

May 2, 2012

Ok firstly, the shop is back. I would love some big fanfare! Some big ta-da about that, but there isn’t one. The shop is just open again. There is a ton of stock that still needs to be added, (and will be added, bit by bit), but that big chunk of time I felt I [...]

Yarn Along

March 14, 2012

If I’m honest, I have been feeling rather miserable lately. We have had SO many illnesses recently – we are in week 4 and my sinuses still hurt. FB had ANOTHER fever this weekend, though luckily it only lasted a couple of days this time. But because of that everything has ground to a halt. [...]

The Last Day of Winter

February 29, 2012

Good news! I have a working camera! This means that once everyone is well I will take new photos of all the stock ready for the new shop. Hurrah! Bad news! We still have the lurgy! I was properly ill over the weekend, and now FB has a high fever. For those of you keeping [...]

February 21, 2012

Firstly – the shop is coming back. However since closing the shop to upgrade and re-photograph we have had a cascade of problems including: going to A&E in an ambulance. (The injured person in question is well on the mend and their injury was scary but not permanently scarring thank goodness.) both children suffering a [...]

The Shop is Closed (Temporarily) while I Upgrade and Stock Check and Add New Lines (of Yarn, not code.)

February 9, 2012

Yeah, it’s not a great time to be doing this, but it’s never a great time to do a big overhaul. This one is long over due (at least to me.) If you NEED OxfordKitchenYarns right now, then they are still stocked at Darn It and Stitch, Wool and Willow and now at Moss Stitch. [...]
