Happy New Year and Welcome to the first Wool on Sundays of 2020! These little cardigans were my final makes of 2019, which in general was a very bad year for making but ended with a flurry of knitting. I am about to go on an extraordinary adventure for ten days but after that I […]

Last year, around this time, I wrote a small story called ‘The Figgy Gosling’ but I didn’t share it here because I didn’t have time to make pictures. Somehow, a year has rolled by and I haven’t got much further… But I do like to make a Mid Winter post and mark the fact that […]

Back in January, did you have a word for 2019? I actually chose a word but I didn’t ever blog about it. That was partly because we had lots of relations visiting and I didn’t get around to it but it was also because I kept coming upon the idea that that public goal setting […]

Slowly and intermittently, over this long time that I’ve been gardening, I have been pondering (and very occasionally working on) a new project and, at last, the nuts and bolts of it are starting to come together. This is a smallish double-side quit. The dark blue is a fairly improv sewing together of night-coloured scraps, […]
