I’ve been really good this year not buying patterns or fabric (or clothes, shoes, and yarn for that matter!). So when my birthday rolled around (more on that to come!), I championed hard for pa...
I hang my head in shame at my number of knitting FO’s for 2012. A few wee hats. Now, I love the hats, I just wish I had more to show for 2012! Not that I don’t have good reason for this o...
Now living far away from our families (they in Florida, we in Scotland) is difficult on my husband and me all year round, with the exception of our yearly 2-week visit home around Christmas. Now we L...
Hey there ho there! Wow, what a ridiculous absence I’ve had from this blog… Between work and plugging away at other things (to be shared later) I haven’t had much time to work on pe...
Do things ever slow down? I was looking forward to Fashion Weeks/Month being over so things might slow down at work, but so much for that! Di’s been doing commissions for hand-knitted work fo...
I’m really excited about this next milestone: I’ve had some of my illustrations published! I’ve mentioned The Skinny before, a local independent arts/fashion/music/entertainme nt p...
How many perfect days have you had? They are pretty few and far between but so worth the wait when they come. This past weekend T & I had a perfect day. To give you an idea of how great it was...
My pal Rachel & I are doing a knitalong together with the Mazarin hat by my other knitterly pal, Jo Kelly. We set out a schedule which both of us have fallen behind, but that is neither here nor...
Whoop! That was a great giveaway, loads of entries and lovely comments from you all! Thanks for another successful giveaway! I am pleased to announce the winner of the TimberAndTack giveaway was To...
Literally, not figuratively. Well, I guess figuratively too? Well it is Fashion Week in NYC and my eyes have been glued to the blogs of The Sartorialist, Man Repeller and Style Bubble to see the sh...
I can’t remember the last time I’ve had to buy jewellery. I love jewellery and wear it all the time, but I am lucky enough to have a fabulous jewellery designer in the family! My sister...
A few weeks ago I found myself at the Crafters’ Ceilidh and completely surrounded by some fabulous and inspiring sewists. I had the best time and was so motivated and enthused for making and c...
This weekend I am finding myself obsessively in love with 2×2 rib. That’s right: Knit 2, Purl 2. It is just so clean. So pretty. This WIP is the Mazarin hat pattern by my friend Jo. You...
WOW! I have NEVER been amongst so many bloggers or blog-enthusiasts as this past Saturday. We had our Crafters’ Ceilidh, and all our hours of emailing, planning, making, etc. really paid off!...
I’m not calling them resolutions. Not sure why, but they just are that much more of an obligation when you call it a resolution. And I try to avoid obligations – I don’t deal well...
It’s about time that I share with you the projects with which I have started 2012. I find myself with actually only a few projects at the moment, but I also have some recent FO’s with whi...
Guess what? My Cadence tunic from our Newbie & the Knitter KAL was featured on the blog of none other than Jordana Paige, the designer herself! Check out the post here! They had some really g...

Just popping in real quick to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I have been enjoying my holidays back home in Florida – I have seen the sun again and now recall what it feels to be warm! It...
How’s your finishing going? I hope that everyone found that last post helpful, I got some really lovely feedback on it so thank you! Additionally, if anyone wishes to have a higher-resolution...
OK, so my Cadence is done being knitted, but it still looks messy. I’ve got yarn ends trailing, puckering fabric, wavy lace – can I fix it? YES! And quite easily too. I’m going to share 4 ...
Finally, we are drawing to a close in our Knitalong! How is everyone doing on Cadence? I have not been as quick in knitting mine as I hoped, as life (especially around the holidays) can definitely ...
Just wanted to share with my lovely readers that I have a new website in the works, to promote my knitwear designs. I’ve been slowly working on it for a few months now, and am finally getting ...

Hey folks! You may have gathered that I haven’t had the time to do much blogging beyond are KAL posts, so this post is basically a catch-all to share a bunch of things. Most excitingly, I̵...
