Dream in colour, create in fabric, thread, yarn, words, whatever you have to hand
Welcome, again, to Wool on Sundays! Can you believe it’s November already? And at last, we are back in wool weather. Frosty nights and misty mornings and time for the crochet blankets to come out from their Summer hiding and for dark evenings knitting in the Makery. You may remember this being knitted…and unknitted. And […]

Today is the Endeavourers’ fourth quarterly reveal day and I’m very grateful to all my fellow members for their endless inspiration, encouragement and enthusiasm. I love the way this group prompts us to embark on new journeys with fabric that we should never otherwise have contemplated :) This quarter’s theme was ‘Improv’ and I resolved […]

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 […]
Read More…Welcome to another Wool on Sundays! 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. Although so short a time ago I thought this was set to be my best […]

Well, my goal this month was to make an improv quilt with any or all of the fabrics in this box… …and it’s not the greatest quilt or the most exciting improv but a finish, as they say, is better than perfect! After going away for a week I caught some kind of flu-like virus […]
