The Bookworm's Stitchery: Mary for May
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008/05/mary-for-may.html
Thursday, 1 May 2008. This week I took a quick detour from the large projects to make this little Mary figure. As Catholics we celebrate May as a month dedicated to Our Lady, and I wanted something to put into a May Basket for Little Cherub. I found a free nativity scene pattern online at Australian Women's Weekly. It can be downloaded as a PDF file here. You are so good - I always WANT to start a little knitted nativity but never think of it till about 2 weeks before Christmas! 2 May 2008 at 05:56.

The Bookworm's Stitchery: December 2008
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 19 December 2008. I love this petal dishcloth made by Linh at A Girl in Georgia. Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Is making one and has posted the pattern (which I couldn't find through the original links). I'm planning to knit a couple once I find some reasonably priced coloured cotton. Dishcloth cotton in the UK only seems to be available in white or natural. Tuesday, 2 December 2008. I have discovered I am the opposite of a fair-weather knitter - I stop knitting in the summer and start a...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: January 2008
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 21 January 2008. I thought about redoing the quiz, but decided that in the interests of honesty I wouldn't. What kind of yarn are you? You are Acrylic.While you are very versatile, your plasticky countenance can be offputting. You are very good with children but can become a pill if left alone with them too long. You are very flexible but don't give in to manipulation. Sunday, 20 January 2008. Casting On - Thumb Method. Wednesday, 16 January 2008. I love this pixie-hooded cardigan. I have a whole...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: February 2008
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 February 2008. This was very quick to knit, though the Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly was a bit . well . bubbly! The lumpy-bumpy texture made it a little fiddly. The end result was good, though. A little large still for my Little Cherub, so it should last her a while. Wednesday, 13 February 2008. Book Review: Simple Knits for Little Cherubs. With a Little Cherub of my own to knit for, how could I resist Simple Knits for Little Cherubs. There are plenty of other patterns I would happily knit - a little ...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: Toddler Socks
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008/12/toddler-socks.html
Tuesday, 2 December 2008. I have discovered I am the opposite of a fair-weather knitter - I stop knitting in the summer and start again when it turns cold and wintry. I picked up my abandoned sweater and worked a few rows, and then had an urge to knit socks. I started with these mini basketweave toddler socks. They fit her little UK size 5 (US size 6? I am now working on a pair for myself, using this self-patterning 75% wool Regia sock yarn. Oh, they and adorable! 2 December 2008 at 09:05.

Sunday, December 29, 2013. Update Number 3: Marie. As well as working hard in school Marie keeps busy outside. She has found a part time job and works as a waitress in a cafe on Saturdays. She joined A-Next-Door's gym and goes there regularly. She also likes running (though not so much in the winter! Posted by The Bookworm. Lovely colours on the cushion.

The Bookworm: This Week: 24th February 2014
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/02/this-week-24th-february-2014.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. This Week: 24th February 2014. Wet again. I am so over all this rain! My comfy snowflake pyjamas. A Country in the Moon. A supersoft pink lap blanket for Rose. I succumbed to pester power in the wool shop on Saturday. I only went in for a circular sock needle to replace my nice Knitpro one that Tevye sat on and snapped, and came out with three balls of this James C Brett Flutterby. In pale pink. It is only polyester but ridiculously soft. To Marie getting a shower. Friday: Mayb...

The Bookworm: 7 Quick Takes: 17th January 2014
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/01/7-quick-takes-17th-january-2014.html
Friday, January 17, 2014. 7 Quick Takes: 17th January 2014. 1 I started watching Sherlock after hearing lots of recommendations. After a false start when BBC iPlayer kept cutting out on me I made it through the first episode of Series 3. I think it would have been confusing even if I had seen the first two series but despite my confusion it was gripping and I'm hooked. Tevye, on the other hand, decided it was not his thing. He also told me that it is very rare to see someone with such a "clean" diet....
