Self-Lovin…
I was recently talking to a friend of mine, who, it turns out, has been quietly going to the gym every morning at like 8am, doing an hour of exercise, and then getting on with her day. She says it makes her feel great, gives her energy for the entire day and boosts her confidence. […]
Untangling…
…this weekend has been full of writing a paper, and trying to untangle this yarn that I dyed a few weeks ago. It is patons cotton which I over-dyed with two shades of red, and which I intend to turn into this top from the excellent DROPS Design range of amazing patterns. It is extremely […]
Sweet Things
Today – what joy – some lovely sweetness in the post from Wazz who noticed my strawberry shortcake post and on the basis that no woman can ever have too many button badges, made this from a sweets-bag: What joy! I couldn’t resist some more photos of the strawberry stitch-markers and I am planning some […]
A walk in the garden
This post is actually going to begin with a walk I took yesterday. This was the first time I have recreationally gone out for a walk, in my favourite walking spot, since my surgery. I went without crutches for a wander by the canal, and got a lovely recording of the weir, which I’ve been […]
Watch and learn with Felix
I am trying to master the art of the yarn overs: I have also bookmarker for myself: The beginner’s guide to charted lace knitting This means that at the end of today when it is recreational knitting time, I have everything I need to commence with the Moonlight Sonata! I love the Internet.
Strawberry shortcake
Few things delight me more than the sight of our strawberry patch in summer. The strawberries are wild ones that were growing when Mark moved here and year after year they colonise more space in the front garden and produce bowlfuls of tiny, impossibly sweet little strawberries. They are very fragrant – reminding me always […]
Not a natural lace-knitter.
The Moonlight Sonata Shawl that I so blithely cast on at the Oxford Bluestockings KAL last weekend is proving itself to be my knitting nemesis. The problem could be that I have selected a yarn that, while utterly gorgeous, loves nothing more than to obscure stitches and cling to itself in inscrutable clumps of yarny […]
Lettuce be inspired.
Today is my friend Caroline’s birthday. Caroline is wonderful and I am super glad for her presence on the planet today in particular. Caroline is a great improv-knitter and has made such wondrous items as the knitted vegetable bunting including a knitted turnip: …and the anatomically correct knitted heart: You can see in this photograph […]
Messy Tuesdays Flickr Fun…
I noticed this on Lara’s blog, and immediately felt the need to create a Messy Tuesdays version of the questionnaire and photomontage, using the magic of flickr toys. This is what the amazing Big Huge Labs Mosaic Maker generated out of my flickr search answers: This is how it works: The concept: a. Type your […]
