Modelwidow: September 2014
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 07, 2014. Each September the Tonbridge Lacemakers have a challenge, those wishing to join in make something to be entered into a competition and voting is done by the members using coins and the proceeds go to our charity of the year. Sometimes I join in and make something, sometimes I just vote if the subject doesn't float my boat, but this year I seem to have got a little carried away. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Modelwidow: A strange shaped parcel..
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-strange-shaped-parcel.html
Sunday, December 14, 2014. A strange shaped parcel. Hugo wants to tell everyone about the very strange shaped parcel that arrived in the Model household earlier this week. Hugo says, I really didn't know what to make of it, it looked a bit like a chair, but not a very comfy one, so I gave it a wide berth even if it was a little close to 'my corner' and I had to have lunch with one eye on the 'thing' .

Modelwidow: January 2014
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 05, 2014. Quite loudly when I spot one. Anyway, by the magic of illusion knitting this is the cloth viewed normally but. Is what you can see at an angle. Clever eh? And all just done with knits and Purls. The other critters I have been making are butterflies as I am encouraging our knitting group at work to make some blankets for SIBOL. Oh, wait that looks like a doily, well with a little fold you get. A 3D butterfly - another clever, eh? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Books I've read in 2015.

Modelwidow: October 2014
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 10, 2014. Stretchy Charity Hat in the round. This hat is great for using up oddments of assorted weights of yarn and fits a variety of sizes due to its stretchy nature. I take no credit for the initial design, just for the adaptation to knit in the round. Materials: DK weight yarn - 2 strands held together. 7mm circs 40cm long (or whatever size you need to get a pleasing fabric ). See below for variations). Cast on 56 sts using a long tail cast on (or your favourite stretchy alternative).

Modelwidow: May 2014
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 26, 2014. I 've been back from holiday for over a fortnight now and only just got round to posting (and what a shock to see it's nearly 2 months since the last post- shame on me! So we set off, forgetting quite a few things - thank goodness we were staying overnight in Southampton and could easily (and relatively cheaply compared to ship prices) pick up the bits we'd forgotten ie toothbrush, belt and comb (DH) and scarf, socks for the gym and hair ties (for me). Our cabin steward was pretty c...

Modelwidow: Goodbye 2014 and welcome 2015
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2015/01/goodbye-2014-and-welcome-2015.html
Thursday, January 01, 2015. Goodbye 2014 and welcome 2015. Lots of my friends and colleagues have been saying that 2014 was a fabulous year for them or a dreadful year depending - as far as I'm concerned 2014 has just been a year. I've been very fortunate that nothing bad has happened, quite a lot of nice things happened too, but nothing that I would class as fabulous. And I finally bought a spinning wheel - something I had been wanting for ever. And that it is "normal (for my age)" Cheek, I'm only 51!

Modelwidow: April 2015
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 05, 2015. It's been a while since I blogged, I'm not entirely sure where the time goes - I only wish the working week would go as quickly as the weekend! Having been away on a weekend 'retreat' in Yorkshire where a wonderful fibrey time was had, I came home feeling a little deflated and decided to cheer myself up with a little present. And inside was the most beautiful resin spindle. Don't you just love those flowers, and it's square! Yes, I know, a square spindle! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Modelwidow: March 2015
http://modelwidow.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 01, 2015. It's the 1st of March, the sun is shining, the birds are singing (well mainly seagulls! Weird since we are 30 odd miles from the coast, but there you go) and all is well with the world. Isn't it amazing what a little sunshine can do. I wished for it in my last post and here it is. To make the most of it, DH and I went on a walk this morning - our usual 6 mile trek, over the hill and far away, and I couldn't resist snapping this picture at our (flask of) coffee stop. Monday Mini Ti...
