Let’s Knit!

September 8, 2011

Look! A skein of my sock yarn! In a magazine!* I want to be all nonchalant and cool about it, but I’m not really. I love how the piece looks – and that my son (who is too young to suck up!) pointed out that the OKY skein was his favourite. (Thanks son!) I have [...]

Yarn and how I haven’t forgotten about it…

July 5, 2011

…even though it might seem like I have. I really need to open my shop again! I know this. Yarn is being dyed. And I’m really pleased with it. It’s happening, I promise. And soon. (In the meantime there is – I believe – still some OKY yarn at lovely Darn It and Stitch.

(New [to us] garden furniture – definately worth the wait.) and then FB and his daddy went to look at bike seats (and watch Stage 2 of The Tour de France at the shop, and have a sneaky snooze!) and I made… Hello patchwork! Why did I wait so long?

July 1, 2011

Have I mentioned that I’m a sucker for a raglan tee? I think I have! So when I saw this tutorial at Craftiness is Not Optional, I had to have a go. I have plenty of small jersey pieces – or rather I have lots of large adult tee shirts with trouser leg hole shapes [...]

In Praise of Hanging out your washing

June 28, 2011

One domestic job that I really enjoy is hanging out the washing. I find it calming. (Though hanging out the washing on a day potentially full of showers, fending off a toddler who is determined to annoy his baby sister? Not so calming.)

Quilting

June 23, 2011

(I have a ton of projects that have been made, and not blogged about, so let’s jumping in, and over the next few days I’ll try to show you them…) You know I said yesterday that I can’t leave Darn it and Stitch without buying something? Well about a 6 weeks ago I saw they [...]
