Stripy sock mad: January 2013

http://stripysockmad.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, 27 January 2013. Had a good week, this knitting to blog deadline suits me well, plus not casting on some thing new is reason to knit faster! Started off the week by blocking my Hypernova shawl I finished last week. I didn't pin it out along its entire length, just did the flared ends and its come out really nice, again, didn't take long once I set to it! The coloured edges are my own handspun yarn which was nice to include! Not bad at all! They'll turn up. I hope! Made for Immy, whos Immy? My 7mt...

Stripy sock mad: That road paved with good intentions..

http://stripysockmad.blogspot.com/2013/02/that-road-paved-with-good-intentions.html

Sunday, 10 February 2013. That road paved with good intentions. Well technically its not all that bad, but not much work went in to my wip, but on the bright side I haven't added to it! Started the week by finishing Immy's Knubbelchen, the skirt was very fiddly I thought, but more in a wrestling stitches kind of way rather than hard to do, but ever so cute, so not complaining, much! Next I did a super cute owl hat, in just one evening! Not that I do uber creative, but I'm trying! The other 100g braid I'm...

Stripy sock mad: Chained to the wheel

http://stripysockmad.blogspot.com/2013/02/chained-to-wheel.html

Sunday, 24 February 2013. Chained to the wheel. 200g of fibre and the task set was be creative, so I went and created! I spent almost a week, spinning, every evening after baby had gone to bed (as no way can I spin with her around,) and this is what happened! Was most pleased with how that turned out I must say! Used it to knit a zomg cowl which was a pattern specially for hands spun yarn. So will this be enough to show I was creative? Will I win the comp? Optimistic as ever I know! Now to avoid the temp...

Stripy sock mad: September 2009

http://stripysockmad.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 8 September 2009. Growing up, I had a room to my self several times on and off, being one of 3, some times I shared a room with my sister, some times I had a room to my self, for a while, all three of us slept together! But naturally I never really had the chance to make it my own. Now I find my self as an adult with a very large room with a view, I can do as I please with it! Another thing is I tend to have my finished objects lying around, my stripey star on the couch, my blue jeans shawl on t...

Stripy sock mad: The Neala Hood

http://stripysockmad.blogspot.com/2009/10/neala-hood.html

Friday, 9 October 2009. So as soon as I'd finished my Riverbanks, Neala decided she wanted one her self. Which brought out my creative skills again! Well I can't help it lol I do have another pattern in the works but that will have to wait! So I give you. This is designed to fit a 4/5 year old child, tho I did try it on my 6 year old and it fit him too, so it will fit a few, best thing is to try it on the recipient as you go along! Download a PDF version of the pattern here. Spare circ for grafting.

Stripy sock mad: The Rolly Bag!

http://stripysockmad.blogspot.com/2011/02/rolly-bag.html

Monday, 7 February 2011. Yeah yeah, all I ever do here now is post patterns, but you don't want to listen to me blethering on about nothing all the time? Any way, another free pattern for you, don't say I'm any thing but nice ;-). Inspired by a bag I saw at a recent craft fair, this bag is made from a new yarn called Hoopla, made from selvedge material from t-shirt making. Its a very stretch jersey type material and is surprisingly easy to work with and lends its self to crochet very well! Row 1) DC in 2.

MAZZAM AGAIN: February 2010

http://mazzamagain.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 10, 2010. I have had the most amazing box of loveliness from wonkydonkey. For the Ravelry International Shawl Swap. There are toiletries and lip balm which Carrie makes herself. How did she know I really needed new lip balm. These smell wonderful. There are post-its and notelets and fabulous chocolates- coffee flavoured (my favourite) caramels garnished with roasted salt (how fabulous) and a little bow of truffles so special that one is even gold! Is she hiding in my wardrobe? I have ...

Knit It, Grow It, Cook It: September 2011

http://knititgrowitcookit.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Knit It, Grow It, Cook It. Thursday, September 22, 2011. On the otherside of the cushion are the bright colours, the yellow is the sun, and the bright blue is indicative of the beautiful, cloudless sky and the cool water of the swimming pool. I don't know which side I like best. I do like the sunflower though on the front. Even though I am supposed to be cracking on with my knitted denim blanket and the mohair scarf, I can't resist starting something else that I spotted on one of my many internet browsin...
