Finishing Things
This week, I am finishing things. The first thing I’ve finished doing is winding an impossibly tangled ball of yarn that I dyed in the washing-machine. Folks, never dye 4-ply cotton in the washing-machine. …unless you have the patience to spend many, many hours turning it from this: into this: I photographed it with my […]
Hop-Swatch Sock
I have finally cast on the Hopscotch socks designed by talented fellow Oxford Bluestocking, Liz. In attempts to conquer my morbid fear of charts, and in view of expanding my hand-knit sock collection, these delectable socks seemed an ideal project. The radio show is finally winding down and I need a new diversion. Plus I […]
Dorrie’s Spirit Paintings
I went to Glastonbury this weekend to see my friend Dorrie’s exhibition. Dorrie has been my friend since I was 11; you can see her here talking to Mark. This is an exhibition of her Spirit paintings. These are two of my favourite images: Willomaia …and Saronaya Mironishka. I love the way Dorrie totally ignores […]
Last minute perfectionism
I am back from EXPO; it was amazing but I am quite tired now. Especially because at the eleventh hour I decided, in my preparations for the show, to embark on some fairly major make and do last-minute operations. I decided, for instance, that our custom-made Spoonflower Mundane Objects fabric ought to be turned into […]
Messy Tuesdays
Our kitchen roof collapsed. It was an old roof, made of horsehair plaster and lime and it had been threatening to give way for some time. I was not here when it happened and neither was Mark, so neither of us got to hear the deafening thud of huge lumps of plaster crashing down onto […]
WIP, FO and UFOs
Sadly there is no knitting content in this post; I’m saving that for my book review on ‘The Knitting Circle’ later this week. But I *am* going to talk about a Finished Object. The cheeky translation of radio show into knit-blog format probably requires a quick new lexicon so let’s get that down right away. […]
Birthday Joy
Yesterday was my birthday. I went to Brighton to do an interview on the Radio Reverb Arts Programme and to pick up a copy of The Argus so I could see this firsthand: …And so I could deliver our latest short to Radio Reverb. This one contains the ‘adventures in washing up’ jingle that I […]
The Joy of Sox
In my post this morning, I forgot to mention the massive confidence-boosting power that Liz’s lovely socks gave me yesterday, at the conference. Yes, it was the first time that I’ve worn the lovely socks she gave me before I had surgery. They are gorgeously soft, fit my feet perfectly, and nurture my toes in […]
Post-conference life
After the drive to Middlesborough on Wednesday, I felt like my body was still humming to the tone of my car for most of Thursday. It’s amazing how a long drive can leave you like that; sort of buzzing like your car’s engine for 24 hours afterwards… …and the drive from my brother’s place in […]
