Wool on Sundays – 142 (A Butterscotch Cardigan)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays! When I changed Wool on Sundays to a monthly event, rather than weekly, I thought I would blog about other things in between but, it seems, I just blog less often. I began this cardigan a while ago because I had some wool left over from a pair of gloves! […]

Someone beginning with ‘R’…

This week we’ve had a surprising guest. A tiny little bird who bounced up and down all day long on the hydrangea outside the kitchen. We thought he was a baby and we were concerned that he couldn’t fly because he just went back and fourth from the twigs to the window sill. We kept […]

Wool on Sundays – 140 (Made in March)

Welcome (at last!) to the April edition of Wool on Sundays :) We have had two major faults on our phone line fixed. The engineers have, however, recommended some ‘tree work’ and replacing a cable, which they say should be dealt with at some unspecified time when ‘the teams’ who do such things get to us…so perhaps […]

The end of the Goldfinch…

In general exciting news, we have been sent a new router by our ISP after having no internet and endless, monotonous endeavours to sort it out of late. Now it seems that I am again in the virtual world – though we are expecting a storm so, new router or not, my new connectedness may […]

Wool on Sundays – 139 (West Yorkshire Spinners Yarn)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays :) Back in November (Fits like a Glove) I extolled the virtues of West Yorkshire Spinners. For many reasons using wool grown and spun in the UK fits with my personal vision of ethical consumption and, at the time, I said: “I was very happy with how the wool knitted […]

Happy March!

How was your February? When I changed Wool on Sundays to a monthly link up (the next one will be on Sunday 5th March), I had great plans about getting organised and doing all sorts of non-yarn projects. And I even got so far as assembling a collection of items to make a newly-organised-me notice […]

Wool on Sundays – 138 (January was Mostly Blue)

Welcome to the first of the new monthly, Wool on Sundays :) Now that I’m only going to be doing Wool On Sundays once a month, I feel it ought to be easier to find yarn content to share but January was not only mostly blue, it was mostly yarnless… I did finish a baby […]

Wool on Sundays – 137 (Moving on…)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays and thank you very much to everyone who visited and commented on my last post :) I’m having a huge struggle to get back into blogland this year and even to settle into properly making anything, not least because we seem to have fallen into a family theme of moving […]

Wool on Sundays – 136 (Little Things)

Welcome to another year of Wool on Sundays! Have you had a yarnful holiday? I’ve somehow managed to fall right off the yarn wagon. I knitted woolly hat for the Merry Man of Misrule (you can see more of his antics in A Feast of Fools). And I put an edge row around the Rustic […]
