Hopscotch: Preparing for the Ravelympics
I had some good Ravelympics training this week when I tried to bind off my first Hopscotch sock. I borrowed a knitting instruction book from a friend at our Tuesday night Sticks’n’String meeting, and commenced happily with the bind-off, following the instructions in what I assumed was the correct manner. Then: wierdness. Please excuse the […]
Tea and Cake
Today has been enhanced by the combination of tea and cake. After interviewing Kate for the Perfect Cup of Tea feature of The Fantastical Reality Radio Show, I’ve started drinking vast quantities of loose leaf tea on her recommendation. It is amazing stuff, especially in terms of how strong you can make it… And today […]
Tea Spoon
Recently I acquired a very beautiful knitted spoon by one Suzanne Stallard of Reading. The museum archive box in which the spoon is housed instantly appealed to my archival tendencies. Somehow a relative of the plain brown tags employed by myself and Mundane Appreciation in the development of our respective sound and Mundane museums, this […]
Creative Challenges: Bowerbird C.O.N.T.E.S.T.
After reading Oxford Kitchen Yarn’s moving and well-written post on her creative aspirations for the next year, and following the links to Bowerbird’s C.O.N.T.E.S.T., I decided to put togther something here, detailing the creative challenges I want to set myself for between now and this point next year. I decided that, in the spirit of […]
Ravelympics
The wonderful Lisa Busby of Sleeps in Oysters emailed me today via Ravelry to ask whether or not I was planning on entering the Ravelympics. ‘What is this Ravelympics?’ I wondered, and quickly went off to search the groups, forums and project posts of the wondrous Ravelry. Shortly after this, I had organised my current […]
Cake cards
I appear to be making cake-themed stationery. Every single surface in my studio is covered in bits of paper with cake-printed images on them with ink in various stages of dryness. This all started some months ago when, on swap-bot, Susi joined a sound-based swap I was running and then, after reading my profile, decided […]
Hop-Scotching with Felix
I am loving Liz’s Hopscotch sock pattern. Although I have to concentrate on it quite hard, most of the charts are quite easy to memorise and I love the way the lemon and lime yarn by Woolhunter knits up. I enjoy having the time and space to do a pattern which causes me to look […]
A giant finishing
In this week of finishing things off, The Fantastical Reality Radio Show in association with Mundane Appreciation has officially been completed. You can download all 5 shows as mp3s from our website at www.fantasticalreality.com It has been an amazing project, a collaboration in which I’ve learned hugely. Kayla and Claudia of Mundane Appreciation are an […]
FO: Maven
In my week of finishing things, today’s completion involves Maven, the bag I started knitting AGES ago, designed by Courtney Stansbury of Pink Lady Knits, and based on Carrie’s clutch in an episode of SATC. I modified the design quite heavily, basically getting the nice, trapezoid shape decreases from Courtney’s design and then going off […]
