Christabel asked what a honeybadger is:
I’m not sure delightful is the right word. They’re crazy viscious animals, listed in the 2002 guinness book of records as the world’s most fearless animal. They’re ace. Heehee, and a bit of a long running theme in my friends conversations, for some reason or another. They have a website [...]

Teehee this one’s going to be fun. Tomorrow I might update this with a ‘proper’ post.
What are your favorite colors?
Probably red, but right now I’m also really into pinks, greens, blues, and oranges. Taking a peek at the things I make will give you a good idea of the colours I like most.
Are you a [...]

Catherine?? and Sunflowerfairy (Heidi)
Well done guys :) And thankyou to everyone who left little smiley things.

I’ve had this wardrobe since I was about 10. Unfortunately it never led me to a magic land, but it is quite a cozy place to sit inside anyway. I know both of these things, because believe me I’ve tried. I love how promising this photo makes it look, the inside of my wardrobe is [...]

Pattern: Rowan 35, Spring / summer 2004,
Yarn: Rowan 4 ply cotton, buy more than in the pattern.
Beads: about 4000 - I used the beads in the pattern, but in purple not blue.
Size: small (34″ bust), which on me actually gives it about an inch of negative ease, I like the fit. I didn’t change the [...]

today is my little blog’s first birthday, I was busy all day, although mostly with nice things. I went for dinner with my family because tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, and I went to the Botanic gardens. But this afternoon I took a silly little break, after working on the MJ pattern, and made these. [...]

I had to share this. I explained in this post why I named Matilda Jane that, but I think this might explain where the name’s use as a pet name originates: ‘Bessie’s Song to her Doll,’ by Lewis Carroll. It certainly sounds very familiar but I have no memory of reading it. I hated Alice [...]

Look what Kathyruth just posted: the first Matilda Jane by someone else. I’m so proud. Isn’t it adorable? She made the sleeves longer which looks great and changed the button bands. Personally i think the horizontal ribbing works perfectly for the merino yarn she used - better than the button bands in the pattern would [...]

Paintball was ace - and the bruises are impressive too. I got to discover just how cowardly some of my friends are and that no one quite seems to ‘get’ that putting your arms up means ‘I’m dead already - stop shooting’. Haha. Of course I took my knitting, I take my knitting everywhere. If [...]

I went to the library and took out pretty much every book on knitting technique. Along with some of the books in my (very small) personal knitting library I plan on learning from these. I was horribly dissapointed by Vogue Knitting when I got it a few months ago. There was very little in it [...]
