The Domestic Soundscape making, listening, thinkingfelicityford@outlook.com
Well I appear to be blogging again.
I’m back on my blog, a little earlier than anticipated. The break in Sussex was excellent. It was great to walk a couple of miles each day, to eat simply, and to be disconnected from TV, the Internet and all other distractions. I got quite a bit of thinking and writing done, in between knitting […]
Ravelry
Well I just checked my position on the Ravelry queue: You signed up on July 16, 2007. You are #17533 on the list. 2113 people are ahead of you in line. 16752 people are behind you in line. 44% of the list has been invited so far. I expect I shall be waiting a while […]
Settling dust.
Does anyone else ever nip over to SomaFM and open up the Groovesalad link when feeling a bit razzled? I always do. It serves ‘a nicely chilled plate of ambient grooves’ and if you need the musical equivalent of an Indian head massage, this online radio station always delivers. I’ve just booked a holiday from […]
Bat cane – what should go in the pockets?
Here is the Bat-Utility Walking Stick Cosy, nearly finished. The basic tube for this cosy was completed during The Missability Radio Show‘s public exhibition at The Drama Studio in Oxford Brookes University from 12th – 16th September, 2007, by a selection of different knitters from The Oxford Bluestockings (thanks Katie and Ellen!) and now needs […]
The Missability Radio Show is live!!
The first podcast from The Missability Radio Show has gone up onto the site along with masses of show notes, loads of new pictures, and a revised knitting competition page, which I am still working on. Thanks to Mark for this brilliant photo: It’s been lovely to be in touch with both of the winning […]
The incredible wonders of wonderweb.
My day today was saved by wonderweb. I was sewing a banner for The Missability Radio Show – this one is on silk velvet – and when I tried to put eyelets in, the whole thing kind of disintegrated and the eyelet just fell out of a large hole. Wonderweb allowed me to patch the […]
Walking Stick Cosy #3, Podcast #3
The third show is made, but there are a few re-records that need to happen, some additional things that need to be added and a few changes made here and there. In the final episode, I end up with a section from my conversation with Betsan from Stitchlinks, about Frida Khalo, talking about control and […]
first knitted walking stick cosy competition entry!!
Well today in my PO Box I picked up a very promising looking package. It was indeed the first official entry to The Missability Walking Stick Cosy Competition… I won’t divulge too much here, but it’s very amazing and very fantastical and I was super excited to receive it!!!
Kitchen Yarns and Cosies.
I appear to have finished my polka dot walking stick cosy, which means I am itching to make another. The polka dot cosy is surprisingly heavy with all the stranding across the back and has a luxurious, dense feeling about it because of the silk/cashmere content. It has been very soothing to knit it while […]
