Lost Gloves

Posted on Thursday, 25th October 2007 by Lou

It looks like I’ve lost my favourite pair of gloves :-( I mean, they’re only shop-bought, almost certainly acrylic yarn ones. But they fit, they were black with cables on the back, and they were warm and comfy. They weren’t … finish reading “Lost Gloves”

Composing Knits

Posted on Wednesday, 24th October 2007 by Lou

I’ve discovered something kind of interesting. To me, anyway. You see, I’d decided I wanted a hat to go with my Fetching wristwarmers. This meant applying the stitch pattern and cables used on Fetching to a hat. Well, with a … finish reading “Composing Knits”

Mid Sock Syndrome?

Posted on Friday, 19th October 2007 by Lou

You know, it’s funny. I don’t tend to be struck down with Second Sock Syndrome. I don’t always cast on a second sock the instant I’ve finished the first if I’ve got other projects on the go that I want … finish reading “Mid Sock Syndrome?”

Hi, my name is…

Pink for October

Posted on Friday, 12th October 2007 by Lou

In case it’s not obvious, I’ve decided to go Pink for October. Ta-daaa! Well, pink and pinky-purple. And blue. I didn’t have time to do a full redesign. Maybe next month – I’ve been meaning to change this one anyway.

Long Day

Posted on Wednesday, 10th October 2007 by Lou

It’s been a looooooooooong day… and why I’m not in bed already, I’m not really sure. I’m running on caffeine fumes, or something. It was my uncle’s funeral, so we’ve been to Norfolk and home again (5:30am start, most of … finish reading “Long Day”

To Frog or Not To Frog?

Posted on Monday, 1st October 2007 by Lou

… That is the question. The other question is, hey where did the last week disappear to? Bzuh?? I know I was quite busy, but I didn’t realise it had been that many days since I posted last. Whoops! My … finish reading “To Frog or Not To Frog?”
