Tweet I saw this last week and loved the way it looked – I have a very utilitarian steel teapot – lovely and big but not beautiful and even when standing on the Aga the tea doesn’t stay warm for all that long I did fiddle with the pattern – my cosy needs more increases [...] 
Tweet I have really, really loved making this granny patchwork blanket – it has been super speedy (just over a month from start to finish AND all the ends sewn in) probably because it is so portable and I could carry around a few squares to crochet on the go and join them all up [...] 
Tweet There have been a lot of babies being born recently (and many more to come, if you’re wanting a baby make sure you either work with me or are friends – the pregnancy rate is mind blowing, especially given it STILL isn’t working for us…) which has meant a lot of rapid fire knitting [...] 
Tweet I’m afraid important things like sleeping, housework and blogging are rather taking a back burner at the moment – I’m immersed in a new blanket project and everything else will just have to wait ok? Inspired by a granny patchwork post over at Attic24 and following Sarah London’s granny square pattern (which makes lovely [...] 
Tweet If you can’t control the big things in life, find something small, grab it and make it do what you want to and you will feel better – and baby step by baby step you’ll find yourself getting bigger and bigger things under control Or at least that is the theory – great plans [...] 
Tweet Had a Bad Mummy Moment tonight.
In the heat of it all – work being crazy busy, trains being delayed and the such like – I realised that not only was I not going to see the girls until tomorrow night (I got home too last to see them at bedtime thanks to [...] 
Tweet I’ve written a few posts in the past about the granny stripe blanket I have had on the go (here, here and here for starters) – turns out that it is a perfect lesson in not biting off more than you can chew and certainly in not thinking that another foot or so of width [...] 
Tweet I’m rather impressed how this turned out given the idea came from a scarf pattern that I wondered if it might make a nice throw to curl up in when we got the house back
And as you do I then ended up buying a small stash of wool and setting to work. [...] Tweet I’m still at the blanket that I should have not made as wide as I did*. Its still taking the better part of an hour to do a stripe. Its still definitely not long enough (current best estimates are that it needs to be between the same again and three times as wide… wibble). [...] Tweet I blame Spud, she suggested crochet as a nice portable, holiday sized thing to do and got me all excited about a ripple blanket. Turns out that was a bit complicated for me but then I found Attic24 had started a granny stripe. And I was very tempted. Not least because I had some [...]  |
