This year I’m doing Debbie Abrahams’ Mystery Blanket. There’s lots of intarsia. I’m taking some advice from a friend and sorting out my materials for each square when I get the patterns. This means I can just grab a bag and start knitting when I’m in the mood. One thing that’s very useful to know […]

This one didn’t take long to knit at all. It’s a fabulous knit. Quick because of all the garter stitch but lots of interesting construction too, making it fun. The pattern is Ravi Junior by Carol Feller. The yarn is Millamia Naturally Soft Merino in Forget-Me-Not. Ravelry Project Page. The yoke is worked from edge
The Torine scarf that I mentioned last week is finished. The yarn was Rowan Truesilk in the sleep colourway. Ravelry project page. I love the colour of the yarn. The sheen of the yarn really brings out the colour beautifully – there’s almost a metallic tint to it. It is lovely to knit with as
I’ve got quite a few WIPs at the moment. This is partly due to several mystery knitalongs. My birthday/Christmas present (and maybe next year’s too!) was a membership to Debbie Abrahams Mystery Blanket 2015. I want to share pictures of this but I don’t want to ruin any surprises for people. I’ve put photos of
Well, this is something I just have to show you as it’s just so darn cute. This is one of my latest finished objects. The pattern is Man’s Bee Friend from Debbie Bliss’s Woolly Woofers book and I think it’s in the latest issue of the Debbie Bliss magazine too. The very lovely recipient is
Think I’ve finally caught up. This one is a little stocking filler I made my Mum. It’s a beaded coaster in Rowan Cotton Glace. The pattern is my own design and is part of a placemat / coaster set. The pattern is available as part of a kit from A Good Yarn. Mum has set
This time it’s shawls. I’ve finished the 3rd Fine Donegal Shawl. I liked knitting with the yarn but 3 shawls meant over 3km of knitting the same thing. I’m glad I can have a bit of variety back in my knitting. I blogged about it last here. Ravelry project page. The other shawl that I’ve
Ok, so the second instalment. Hands and feet this time. The gloves have been on the go for awhile – on and off. The pattern is Bobbie by Julia Mueller. When I started them, they were a paid for pattern (well worth every penny). I find it very sad that the new EU laws on
Sorry I’ve been a little quiet over the holiday period but been a bit hectic here. Hope you’ve all had a good time. I’ll try and catch up. There was a lot of knitting going on over the Christmas break; plus I have a few projects I couldn’t show you as they were Christmas presents.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I had a fabulous new camera, so for a change I’ll just show you a photo post.
