Wool on Sundays – 143 (as easy as falling off a blog)

Welcome Wool on Sundays! I hope you had a good May. I really didn’t mean to abandon Blogland for so long but I’ve done no sewing for ages and all I’ve worked on yarnwise lately is the Granny Stripe blanket. I’ve managed to make quite a lot of progress during the evenings. And I’m over half […]

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! […]

The Greatest Show on Earth!

Welcome to Rainbow Hare! Today, for one post only, I would like to introduce to you: The Greatest Show on Earth!

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 […]

Another day, another old curtain…

…another Dottie Angel Frock! This is my third, now, and the material is a heavier cotton than the last two so it’s a bit stiff but I hope it will soften up with washing and wearing. I really do love the pockets :) The pattern I used (with a couple of adjustments) was – Simplicity 1080. […]

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 […]

Back soon…

Hello, and thank you for visiting – especially if I owe you an email or haven’t visited your blog lately. Unfortunately, the new router did not solve our internet issues so this is a quick post from somewhere else to say that we have been assured it really will be sorted at the beginning of […]

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 […]
