Cut’n’Copy Letter to the BBC
Dear BBC, I am writing to you about the knitted Adipose baby pattern that you ordered to be taken off the Internet because you were worried about how its presence online may affect your commercial interests. As a knitter and general fan of cultural commentary and civic participation, I have to officially disagree with your […]
The FRRS Needs YOU!
I posted a while back about Messy Tuesdays and The Fantastical Reality Radio Show. Now the official website is up and running, I am calling out to all for submissions! I have to arrange interviews with anyone/everyone who wants to do a Messy Tuesdays interview; anyone in the Oxford/Reading area, leave me a post and […]
feet first
I plunged feet first into the Jaywalker pattern. It has knit up to be luckily a perfect fit for the ankle and the foot, but I went on for too long and now I need to rip back as the sock is too long! To accompany me whilst busy knitting, I made a couple of […]
Socks’n’String
The Reading knitting group Sticks’n’String continues to grow! Yesterday, through complete coincidence, everyone present was knitting socks. One of the best things about knowing other knitters is learning how many different ways there are to make one type of garment. Here are our various socks: Me: Jaywalker pattern, 2.25mm bamboo dpn needles, Lorna’s Laces in […]
Messy Tuesdays: the dark side
Last week I didn’t do a Messy Tuesdays post because I had a falling-out with The Man over my untidiness and it felt wrong to celebrate or affirm the joy of mess when it was so obviously having a negative effect on my favourite person. So this week I have mostly been tidy. …like I […]
Blues and Greens
At the moment I am obsessed with blues and greens. I lie in bed thinking about blues and greens. I go into the garden and drink in all the blues and greens that I see there. I take photos of different blues and greens; of weather, of leaves, of clouds, of the sea. I plan […]
knitting in films
Lately I watched a spree of films with knitting scenes in them, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Shipping News and Ladies in Lavender. To recap each of the actors in their respective knitting scenes; in Breakfast at Tiffany’s we see Audrey Hepburn knitting in the famous ‘I may be knitting a ranch house’ scene, in […]
FO: Mosey
My parents have always disagreed on the subject of motion. Pops* believs in the importance of striding, hiking and hill-climbing whereas Bam** is a fan of trundling, bimbling and moseying. While noseying around quaint, ‘olde englishe shoppes’ is Bam’s idea of a good time, Pops would ultimately prefer to scale a dangerous mountain; all the […]
Messy Tuesdays come to The Fantastical Reality Radio Show!
For my part the affirmative nature of Messy Tuesdays has grown out of a long-cultivated belief that the most interesting, fascinating, exotic and wondrous things are luckily to be discovered right under our noses. I believe that always wishing Reality was better and always thinking life happens elsewhere are ideas that do not bring us […]
