    Springtime in Paris Knitting | (1)
    A few weeks ago I started 2 new projects, a fern lace scarf and a crochet bag. I'm not sure what happened with the scarf. I love the yarn and I love the pattern but I put it down and didn't have any urge to pick it up again. Strange. So I have decided to frog it and find another project that will inspire me to do something with the yarn. I do however still love the crochet bag but I haven't made any progress on this either as it was packed for the move and I have only just managed to ...

    New projects! Crochet, Knitting | (0)
    I'm not sure how it happened but i've started 2 new projects over the last week! You wouldn't think it was possible with the majority of my stash in shipping at the moment but somehow I found a way! :) I've wanted to make a lace scarf for a while now. Whilst in the US I brought some lovely sock yarn by Lorna's Laces. I did intend to use it for socks but it seemed a shame to use such a nice yarn to make something people won't see very often. Instead I went online to Ravelry in search of an alternative ...

    Saartje’s Baby Bootees Knitting | (5)
    Last month our friends had their first baby which was a great excuse for me to make a pair of Saartje's baby bootees. They should have reached their destination by now so I have posted a picture, I hope they like them. I really love this pattern, if you haven't seen it before you should take a look at the pattern on Ravelry. Also see the completed projects, i'm sure you will be inspired to start your own.

    2 Sweaters Knitting | (0)
    I am working on a couple of my unfinished sweater projects at the moment so I thought I would share their progress with you. Pioneer Sweater I love the colours in this wool, they match my needles prefectly! It's called King Cole Mirage (shade 870). You can see it here in my stash on Ravelry. When I saw it in the shop and I had no idea what I would make with it but I had to buy it anyway. I decided to make this V-neck sweater, it is published on Knitty but I actually came across it on Ravelry. Sirdar Firefly Sweater The ...

    Hemlock Ring Throw ~ Pictures Knitting | (1)
    Here are some pictures of my finished Hemlock Ring Throw. Since blocking it I have noticed a few mistakes but they are not too obvious so it's OK. It is also bit ripply in places which seems to be a common comment for this pattern on Ravelry but again "pah!". Overall, i'm really pleased with how it's turned out. The pattern is just sooo pretty. I have enough of this yarn left to make another one too!
