There is a story behind the socks that Im posting today.First they were like this:Then they were frogged, and looked like this:Nope. Frogged again, went up a needle size, and got this:Still no good. ...
So the title isnt strictly true, but I ran out of "A" words. I know Ive not been around much lately, and its entirely due to this thing:Yes, I know it looks very boring, but that is Connors d...
I really havent had much time for crafting this week, as weve been working on Connors dissertation at every free moment, so Ive done a lot of reading and rereading. But I did get a zip in the post fo...

To be honest, this post probably doesnt apply to me, as everything you have heard about British summers is true. British seasonal weather is:Spring - RainSummer - RainAutumn - RainWinter - RainWe pro...
I actually had a lot of problems with this one (quelle surprise). I had a think through all the people that have inspired me to knit, and came up with a few.First off is my Gran, who taught me to kni...

I was so close to finishing the boys scarf, but so far. When we left to go for dinner last night, I had 6 ends left to weave in, which I did this morning. The boy then decided he needed to wear it in...
I know that this post is late, but I have a good excuse. I was on call yesterday for what sound have been a 12 hour shift (8-8), but ended up being more like 10. I was on my feet all day, and I was s...
