stash clearing…
Finally got over the ebay fear (obviously have had no fear of buying from it!!) and set up a couple of auctions for some Rowan Big Wool and Debbie Bliss Cotton DK that had been left over from previous projects… happy bidding :)
magnolia so far…
Miss Rosehip posted a comment about how I was getting on with the Magnolia jumper – it spurred me on a bit, so now I am up to doing the shaping for the sleeves… Just so you know :)
Seeds
Looks like we’ve finally sorted out a space for us to get planting on the allotment, and optimistically I’ve sown a bunch of seeds in readyness on the kitchen windowsill. Some are things that’ll stay (like the tomatoes – that kept M in red fruit for about 4 months last year!), some will come up ...
redwagon sock – just before the heel turn
This is where I’m at with the socks… Have only snapped one needle so far ("Why are you knitting with cocktail sticks?" – they might have something there… ) and am about to turn the heel. Think I was a bit too generous with the sizing and so the question is; will there be enough ...
Baked bread

There is something v. theraputic about making bread, and super easy once you have the ...

Warm tummy
So… this is who the blanket is for! Not yet born, but already showing off the blanket to good effect… :) This was such a fun project to work on – we all already want to make another one for each other (without the excuse of it being for a baby!). Plus it’s a great ...
Motown a-go-go!
Our club at the Luminaire was super fun… photos (and videos are now online…)
Happy St David’s Day!
Not that I’m Welsh or anything but M is, so I made him a Leek and Goat’s Cheese Tart (without the bacon!) to celebrate… :) In other news, am doing a swap with this lady; making her a felt ring in return for one of her beaded ones and in April am volunteering for a ...
Blanket Jigsaw
For a secret project – but I couldn’t resist this picture… All will be revealed shortly… :)
