Dream in colour, create in fabric, thread, yarn, words, whatever you have to hand
This month, I have been working on the Something Different blocks for my One Monthly Goal challenge. It was making eight blocks and setting them into the layout of the squares and rectangles underlying a Golden Spiral.

With the evenings, drawing in, the leaves beginning to turn and the fruits and berries ripening, I can feel the great wheel of the year driving us steadily into Autumn – whether we are ready or not – and, although I should probably be finishing up my Summer Stitching, the pervasive sense of change in […]

This month my only woolliness has been confined to a little unknitting, by which I don’t mean not knitting although I’ve been doing that as well… After some consideration, I decided to unknit this cardigan.

Read More…Welcome to Wool on Sundays! I have concluded that that a heatwave, wonderful though it is in many respects, doesn’t make for a very yarnful time. I have, however, started a new knitting project and I’m happy to have something back on my needles again. So far it is just a square but I’m very […]
