WIPs - The Old and the New
In between making bags and finishing cardigans, I've been having another stab at getting on with my oldest Work In Progress, the Victoria Stole from Rowan 39. I started it just over a year ago, and have had occasional attempts at getting on with it during the year, but it had stalled for ages at 142 rows (out of 500). About a month ago I had a real ( Read more... ) -
Rambling Rose
Regular readers may recall that I started making Rambling Rose from Rowan Magazine 39 just over a year ago, but after doing the back and one front I cast on the second front then decided that the thought of six more inches of rib on 2.25mm needles was just too soul destroying to contemplate. So I put it in a box, and, um, left it there for nearly a ( Read more... ) -
Booga Bag
I went into Sheepish a couple of weeks ago to buy a RYC pattern book. It was £6.95, I didn't have enough cash on me, so out came my card. But the minimum card purchase there is £10, so I just had to buy something else. Oh the hardship. Four balls of Debbie Bliss Soho in shade 03, which bizarrely says 37503 on the label, just slipped off the shelf ( Read more... ) -
Finished things!
As well as buying yarn, I have been knitting. Sadly not as fast as I've been buying, but I'm doing my best....
Strictly not in order of finishing, firstly I've done the pairs to three of the socks I did in January

More stash....
Yes, I know, I wasn't going to buy any more yarn until I'd used a sizable proportion of my stash, but I've been feeling down, and when I feel down, I go shopping. I seem to have acquired this lot since my last stash post -

Marguerite is finished!
I started this cardigan way back in June, but first it was put down whilst I watched Wimbledon, then I messed up the shoulder shaping on the back (I followed the wrong set of numbers on the pattern), so I left it for a while, before trying again in August, but then something went wrong with the first front, and I didn't realise until I was up to ( Read more... ) -
Stash!
I've been knitting for just over a year now, and whilst I have finished a lot of things, I have also managed to accumulate a fairly impressive stash and have lots of things on the go. I had a pretty good idea of what I'd got, but I thought that it would be a good idea to have it all on a spreadsheet, so that I could have it with me on my Palm ( Read more... ) -
Seem to be starting something...
...several things in fact :) Despite the fact that I have several, um, long term, projects on the go, which I was really going to try and work at this year, before I started anything else ( Read more... ) -
Feeling socky
I seem to have been overtaken by an urge to knit socks this year - no sooner had I finished the Opal Elemente pair, than I had another pair on the needles, this time in Sweet Georgia Speed Demon sock yarn, which is certainly living up to its name.

Sock!
It was all coughingbear's fault. She showed me her socks in Opal Elemente, and told me that Get Knitted had it in their sale, so I just had to buy a ball. And then I just had to start knitting with it, despite having lots of other things I should have been doing. And now I have a sock, which is taunting me for not providing it with a partner, so I suppose I'd ( Read more... )
