You might have read my first post about it, or you might just have noticed that I’ve been posting more frequently recently, but I’ve successfully completed the NaBloPoMo challenge to post every day in November. To be honest, it hasn’t been too difficult thinking of things to say, the real struggle has been in getting [...]

So today I jumped at the opportunity for a little photo shoot, and it’s raining again so who knows when the I’ll get another chance. You’ll be seeing more of the pictures we took over the next few days but here are a few that I liked, but that aren’t exactly the main subjects [...]

I know that many of you love the Coraline design and want to make it and I’m sorry that it’s taken so long to do a pattern. Unfortunately it’s going to be a while longer, but paradoxically that’s partly because of it’s popularity. The fact that so many of you want to knit this only [...]

Anyone remember these?

Last year I did a little holiday card exchange with my blog readers (er that would be you). It was so much fun making a stack of cards and then receiving so many cards from all over the world to brighten up my little flat. I’d love to do this again this year, [...]

Please come back, my photos miss you oh so much! Sigh, I need to do some proper photo shoots but I’m not sure when that’s going to happen, so I thought you might like a little update on some of the things that will feature in said photo shoots when everything comes together for them. [...]

It’s a naturally coloured blend of baby alpaca and tussah silk from here: http://www.ukalpaca.com/index.html One of the softest yarns I’ve ever knit with and compared to the only other alpaca silk [...]

This monstrous beast has taken over my studio and is driving me crazy.

I spent several hours last night trying to figure out how to even cast on, today I at least got that far and did produce a few scraps that at least resemble knitting. Sort of.

Here’s some nice, tweedy, hand knit garter [...]

I need your help and there will be prizes for the help I make use of in the end. Because prizes are fun, and I really need your help!

First, bunny needs a name. The gender of this little rabbit is so far rather undecided, so see what it seems like to you. If [...]

By finally stitching in the elastic that means I can wear wooly knee socks* without them ending up around my ankles,

pairing them with the snuggly apocalypse hoodie that I’ve been wearing constantly since I finished it on Saturday (the aforementioned dreichness has so far prevented any decent photos being taken of this),
