Apples and an Autumnal Cardigan

‘Autumnal’ is one of my favourite words but one I’ve had little occasion to use this year so I have decided to include it in the name of my very recently finished cardigan. The months are spinning by at a shocking rate and the harvest is harvested and the apples are nearly over. But the […]

Wool on Sundays – 146 (Growing Slowly)

Welcome to October’s Wool on Sunday! I don’t have any nice new yarn finishes to share so I thought I’d start this post with a photo of one of my trusty knitting companions – Poppy of the beautiful ears! The dubious green cardigan has grown but, despite my claims in my last Wool on […]

A Finish of Flowers

In my post Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers, I was pondering what to do with the blocks I had made crocheting along with my friend Sharm from Country Fragrance. I liked the suggestion of a cushion cover but I’ve also been thinking it might be nice to make a crochet sampler throw so I decided to leave […]

Wool on Sundays – 145 (Home again)

Welcome to the September edition on Wool on Sundays! Last week we went on a short holiday in the North West of England, which should have given me some time to continue with a green cardigan I started a while ago. But having done the fronts and back in one piece up to the arm […]

Flowers, flowers and more flowers…

Now the evenings are drawing in I’m finding a little more time for knitting and, being at heart a one project person, I’m keen to finish a cardigan I started early in the Summer. But when my friend, Sharm, started making a beautiful flower blanket I really wanted to crochet along so I’ve been making […]

Since the recent subscription changes at photobucket I’ve deleted my account […]

Wool on Sundays – 143 (Granny Stripe Blanket)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays :) Since my last post, I’m sorry to say, my blog visiting and email-replying has been abysmal and I can only apologise. I will catch up soon. Sadly, my MIL died on June 22nd. She had lately been in hospital and had very recently moved into a Nursing Home […]

New to Me…

Happy Midsummer or Midwinter :) It seems like forever since I wrote a ‘New to Me’ post to link up with Fiona At Celtic Thistle Stitches – it’s so long, in fact, that I felt sure it was on the 15th of the month and I’ve just realised it’s not until 25th! No matter. I […]

Wool on Sundays – 143 (as easy as falling off a blog)

Welcome Wool on Sundays! I hope you had a good May. I really didn’t mean to abandon Blogland for so long but I’ve done no sewing for ages and all I’ve worked on yarnwise lately is the Granny Stripe blanket. I’ve managed to make quite a lot of progress during the evenings. And I’m over half […]
