A HAT

For Christmas, I made a collection of hats. Not only did I never get around to blogging about them, I gifted them without taking photos – you would have thought I’d have learned my lesson on gifting and asking the recipients for photos by now but, alas, not. Yesterday, however, we went out for lunch […]

Wool on Sundays -149 (A Green Aran Cardigan)

Welcome to the February edition of Wool on Sundays! Have you had a yarnful month? For the first couple of weeks of the year I had no yarn projects in progress but by the middle of January, I decided it really was time for some more knitting so I laid out all my yarn to […]

A tale of an Old Sideboard and an Unwanted Armchair…

1/2 Pi Shawl

Firstly, I should say that although I have given this post a ‘Pattern’ label, it is really just a ‘how-to’ showing how to make a semi circular shawl using lace patterns of your choice. It is not a step by step pattern. I like knitting shawls this way because it gets quicker and quicker as […]

Wool on Sundays – 147 (Black and white and Green)

Happy December and welcome to the final Wool on Sundays of 2017 :) I’m sorry if anyone came by expecting the November Wool on Sundays. I, too, expected that but for a great many reasons my blog and I (in fact my computer and I) have been much separated this past month and I […]
