Comfort Food.
Today I am thinking about comfort food. My very first felted project – a felted muffin – prompted me to learn how to crochet, which led me to The Oxford Bluestockings (for assistance!) and from that point on I was almost instantly drawn into the world of knitting. Distracted by alpaca yarns and the lure […]
In Search of Perfection.
The Fat Duck restaurant in Bray and its creator, Heston Blumenthal, became something of an obsession for me last year. I promised myself that upon reaching my goal weight, I would take a trip to the legendary establishment to celebrate my achievement in style. I never reached my goal weight; the craziness of The Missability […]
Happy Christmas!
Today I present an extravaganza of Christmas Photos. I begin with the completed mystery knitting; a hat for the lovely Man. Here are some images of him in it. Some incredible views of the sunset we found whilst out walking. A flashing star. Monkl and Elly’s Christmas day antics. And my Marchpane-inspired Xmas cake. I’ll […]
Christmas Eve…
Well folks, the truth is that I cannot do maths for shizzle. *THIS* is the 100th post on Knitaluscious. Yesterday, contrary to the title of the post, was my 99th post. To celebrate this feat of blogging and to also provide today’s advent calendar image, I present for your viewing pleasure, the saffron loaf. It […]
98 and fog.
I just realised that this being my 98th post, the 100th post will fall exactly on Christmas day if I stick to my advent-calendar plan of posting on each day! Today’s principal image (you can see I’m not being so disciplined on the one-image-per-day principle of the advent-calendar…) is of a mist-wrapped tree we saw […]
Mysterious Xmas Knitting.
Some mysterious knitting has commenced in our household. I cannot say what it will be, but the yarn is Rowan coccoon in the mountain shade, knit with a strand of kidsilk haze in the putty shade. The resultant fabric is utterly lush, looking very like rich, loamy earth and mud or alternatively, a kind of […]
A late post and a naughty monkey.
Yesterday’s post didn’t happen, because I couldn’t find my camera. When I eventually discovered it, it was hidden in a kind of nest that I believe to have been made by Elly and Monkl* during their adventures. One ought never to leave cuddly toys unsupervised. When I checked on the camera, I discovered that Monkl […]
Knitted Bananas
I present, for today’s advent calendar image, Knitted Bananas. I began these months and months ago and it has taken me ages to complete the project. Having no yarn and no pattern and working from one I had improvised months ago all led to vast amounts of procrastinating. But they are finished now!
