JimiKnits… and other bits. Jimi… she knits and does other bits. July 4, 2015. July 6, 2015. OK, not the best title to describe what I’m doing, but this crank knitting lark is getting me excited (yes I know, I need to get out more)! Well, I’ve had my Addi Express knitting machines for about 6 months now and I’ve discovered a wealth of possibilities for a variety of knitted projects. This means that you don’t have to stick with making hats and scarves all the time! 6mm circular needles – two of these.

JimiKnits… and other bits. Jimi… she knits and does other bits. I Had an Itch to Scratch…. June 15, 2014. 8230;so I scratched it! What’s Itching me? 8221; and this is how I will end up making a shawl or cardi using either the same stitch pattern or design formation. The Itch in Question. What was itching me in this case, was my original Friday Street Shawl. I had 6 skeins of Plucky Knitter Primo Sport. There, That’s Better Now! The trouble with these bouts of creative itchings is that they are a huge dis...

JimiKnits… and other bits. Jimi… she knits and does other bits. I Can Finally Reveal Myself! September 9, 2014. September 10, 2014. A little thing you didn’t know about me, is that I am an inventor! Not the engineering, or tinkering with machines in her garage kind, but just something I have been working on for the past 7 years. And this is it The JimBox. It is a handheld foodwrap dispenser for Cling Film, Foil. Campaign to raise the necessary funds to get the JimBox off the ground. Find me on Ravelry.

JimiKnits… and other bits. Jimi… she knits and does other bits. I CAME. I SAW. I DESTROYED! November 27, 2014. November 29, 2014. The title says it all, really. My teenage daughter came to me with a photo of a sweater that looked like whoever wore it had stepped on a land mine! Yes anyway, I was delighted that she finally wanted me to knit something for her. The conversation went like this:. DD: Mum, can you knit something like this for me? DD: Because I can’t KNIT! Me: Does that really MATTER? Getting C...

I call it. 8220;A means to beat down my encroaching yarn stash”. 8220;RSI* avoidance plan”! I’m talking about knitting machines. They can come in various styles, but the one that I was really keen to acquire was the Addi Express. Especially when I buy what I want, when I want it! My Projects So Far. This one uses 2 differe...

JimiKnits… and other bits. Jimi… she knits and does other bits. General News, Updates and Goings on! October 23, 2014. October 23, 2014. Let’s kick off with some bad news first… I’ve decided not to release my belted cardi pattern called “Kinyobi”. Despite all my efforts to make the pattern easy to follow, it just wouldn’t work and the reasons are this:. Much as I loved it, it was a real bastard to knit!
