Knitting News
Have I mentioned that I am struggling to keep up with my blog? Once or twice – oh ok! So I have not mentioned one or two exciting bits of news that I should share. Firstly I am a winner again! Stephcuddles makes lovely stitchmarkers Stitchcuddles and has an Etsy Shop which I may have mentioned …
POD – Post Olympic Depression
I am struggling to manage all aspects of my life at the moment, so blogging has slipped. It is the long school Summer Holidays here in the UK, so as a Mum with a full-time job and a partner who works in the farming industry, summer holidays are a nightmare to manage! I have been …
Finishing Friday
I am ploughing through some large projects at the moment so actual finished projects are few and far between!

Never …
Watch me grow!
My Rainforest Canopy shawl is blocked! I so pleased to say that I love it! When I cast it off I was so disappointed as it was tiny. No bigger than a headscarf that my Nana would have worn over her freshly permed hair. What I failed to remember was that Malabrigo sock is 25% nylon …
Finishing Friday – Finally!
I have a FO today! Yay Go Me! I first mentioned this project in the March Malabrigo Madness post over 3 months ago. I finally finished it yesterday. It looks really small as I hadn’t blocked it at this point. I hope it grows or I will be very diappointed! I love the colour – …
Too many balls....and so little time
