The Barefoot Cobbler: So Many Pretty Things
http://thebarefootcobbler.blogspot.com/2009/01/so-many-pretty-things.html
Oddly, there are very few knitted items at our house. Where do they go? Thursday, January 15, 2009. So Many Pretty Things. I've been in knitting limbo for months! Working nights, trying to make dinner at least twice a week. these are the challenges I'm striving to meet. So knitting has taken a back seat. I'm working on a pretty purse for my mom, which I gave her on the needles at. Now that I've located both the purse and the pattern, I can get back to it. And getting back into Ravelry. Ah Thanks for the ...

Vegemite, Chocolate and Knitting: November 2011
http://ozbambi.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 19, 2011. Yes, I know that's not how you spell it! But in all fairness, our house windows were built the year the wheel was invented. Well, OK. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little. But they were the original windows from our 1959 house. Yes, they were a pain! Oh how I will miss those window pains! Last week we had new windows installed throughout the house. Hmm I'm terrible at grammar. I never learned grammar at school, and Im really disappointed about it. Why is grammar so hard! But now t...

Vegemite, Chocolate and Knitting: Lever Knitting
http://ozbambi.blogspot.com/2011/10/lever-knitting.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. Have you ever heard of "Lever" knitting or "Irish Cottage" knitting? Knits this way. Below is a YouTube video of her knitting. Lever knitting is generally used by people who knit for a living. It incorporates both speed and efficiency. Lever knitting is considered to be the most ergonomic way to knit, thus enabling knitters to knit up to 10 hours a day without fear of RSI (repetetive strain injury). It's a fascinating read. And other one by Maven Knits. View my complete profile.

Vegemite, Chocolate and Knitting: Katia Triana Lux
http://ozbambi.blogspot.com/2011/11/katia-triana-lux.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. I've been resisting funky novelty yarn for.oh, as long as I can remember. It's just "not me". But now that I work one day a week at Cotton-by-Post. North London yarn shop), I walk past the Katia shelf umpty times a day. And I fondle the scarf that hangs there just as often! It's a magic scarf - and like a siren's song it lures me close to touch it. I'd heard that the scarf was a "quick knit", and after the initial clumsiness and learning curve, it really was! The next step i...

Vegemite, Chocolate and Knitting: Cable Swatching
http://ozbambi.blogspot.com/2011/11/cable-swatching.html
Thursday, November 3, 2011. You might remember my post yesterday ( can be found here. Where I wrote that I was swatching a cable pattern for the Rustic Jacket waist band. In that post, I stated that after much deliberation (in my cold-induced drugged out state) that I had settled on a viking cable from an Elsebeth Lavold sweater pattern. Well, after I knit the swatch and blocked it, I wasn't in love with it. Moreover, it was about an inch too wide. So I knit two. Alice Starmore; Interlaced Braid Cable.

Vegemite, Chocolate and Knitting: Out with the Old and in with the New
http://ozbambi.blogspot.com/2012/02/out-with-old-and-in-with-new.html
Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Out with the Old and in with the New. Closets and cabinets that is, not my husband . although LOL. January seemed to be renovation month this year. For a long time now, storage has been an issue in our little hand built 1959 house. Back in those days, I suppose people didn't have much of anything in abundance to store, so homes were often built with almost no closet, cupboard or cabinet space. The side of the walk-in closet is the hallway wall, that has now become a photo wall.

Tuesday, March 20, 2012. An awesome word to describe an awesome birthday!
