Oh my! It took 2 days for me to get almost halfway to the monthly bandwith limit for a free flickr account. So I made it pro, yay. Somehow I was gripped by this sudden fear that if something happened to my computer all my photos that I haven’t blogged would be gone. Also, I [...]

If you’ve been reading for a while, you might remember that the present my dad gave me for my birthday this year made me cry. I’ve been wanting to share it since then, and only just decided this evening to start doing so. Partly because I wanted to blog about something and haven’t been doing [...]

I found this photo on the camera while I was uploading pictures for something else. I’ve been quiet, and sleepy and also very busy. Trying not to get flu, and having lots of things to do isn’t very conducive to blogging and craftiness. Not without feeling guilty at least. Moments like this are important. I [...]

On Sunday I finally picked up this mess and finished fixing it. It’s now messy but the stitches are all (I think!) in the right places and blocking is particularly magical with Shetland wool so I’m not too worried. More importantly I feel like I’m finally making progress and I’m past the 350 st long [...]

After wearing the red jumper several times this week I finally decided to block it. It made sense to do so on the dress form and it seems to be drying quite happily. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk and I used 10 balls with pretty much none left over. I was determined to [...]

I made this new resolution on Tuesday to spend at least 6 hours a day (weekdays!) studying. I was getting a bit too into the crafting and complacent that I was ahead on reading when by that point I wasn’t really. So here are some of my incentives :)

My amazon order just came. All of [...]

because you lot are so wise :)
(*squeeeeee* thankyou for making my first day on etsy such a success - I am very much encouraged to keep making things for it)
Eh, sorry - back to what I was talking about. I want some recommendations, for all sorts of things.
I’m getting the keys for my new flat [...]

These little guys would love to come and stay with you. They’ll look after your little knitting things and small projects :)
I’m finally putting things in the etsy shop - I just hope I’m doing it right. Only these pouches for tonight, but some more things are coming soon. Some you may have seen before [...]

My dad used to call me that. And at the moment it seems rather applicable. I’ve finished a little stack of pouches.

I’ve only got to graft these pieces together and weave in a few ends to be done with my next jumper.

The grafting on the first sleeve turned out better than I was [...]
