http://woollycraft.blogspot.com/2011/01/on-learning-lifes-lessons.html
Thursday, 13 January 2011. On Learning Life's Lessons. 1) Its not easy. 2) It often hurts. 3) Its the only way to avoid more of the same! I'm gradually coming through the disappointment of failing my assignment and all that remains is the odd prick of embarrassment and shame when I remember it could have been avoided. And be able to bash out an essay at Masters level in between hanging out the washing and making the tea. Maybe it was more naivety than vanity. And if so how much? I have frequently felt co...

Woollycraft Wonders: FO update!
http://woollycraft.blogspot.com/2010/06/fo-update.html
Tuesday, 29 June 2010. My lovely Special Fibres. I'm in a really self indulgent knitting phase at the moment, where all I seem to be able to knit are beautiful garments for myself! I'm also really loving the simplicity of the raglan topdown cardie format. For this little top I used the Caplet. Pattern and modified it slightly. I cast on 4 times as many stitches as I needed and did two decreasing rows to make the frills. School placement has finished now to life can slow down (but just a tad! Today I spen...
