Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions for my research. I have thought about blogging my dissertation, but I think that’s going to remain something I’d ideally like to do. Having something to hand in that I’m even vaguely happy with is going to be hard enough, unfortunately. If, and this probably isn’t that likely, [...]

Well I’ve been reading lots, and that means I’ve been working on my reading hoodie. (As it has now been named).

After 17 rounds of pink, I switched to the gray wool and knit one round. I then purled one round for a turning row, which isn’t strictly necessary - other options would be to leave [...]

So my cute 40s waistcoat was good reading knitting while I did the ribbing, but that’s finished now and the rest of the pattern isn’t quite so ideal. Yesterday I ended up buying wool to make a simple stocking stitch hoodie. Because nothing is more perfect for mindless knitting that stocking stitch in the round. [...]

I started with slightly damp, brushed hair. My hair at the moment is this long, and as I said yesterday thin and fine. This style [...]

Eep I just checked my spam filter and for some reason it had caught a lot of real comments over the last few days. I think it’s only ever caught 3 genuine comments before so I’m not sure why it’s gone all uber-vigilant on me, sorry about that. Hopefully it’s just a little blip and [...]

Thank you so very, very much for all the sweet comments about Snow White.
Apologies for the absence, I was busy last week with some family stuff and didn’t have time to blog, or reply to emails or anything. I’ve still not caught up with everything I was going to do last week at all, and [...]
