The Knitaholic: May 2009
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Earth and fire hat. I made this hat as a way of using up some leftover NZ Shepherd Lambswool Felted 12ply brown - and an odd orange-brown worsted ball sitting in my stash. I made up the pattern as I went and am very pleased with the result. The dark brown really frames the variegated orange beautifully,. Links to this post. Swappers make plans – and God laughs. Or so I thought. So much for sending her one of my three lovely stash yarns!

The Knitaholic: October 2009
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. It's been quiet. Too quiet. Mainly because I've been working on a secret project that has been quite tiring. The sort of project that takes 9 months to mature. Besides, I already have my jinx project. The Debbie Bliss Alphabet Blanket. I'm only 5 rows in and already have to tink back a 187 stitch row to correct a mistake. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My free knitting patterns. My other free knitting patterns.

The Knitaholic: She knits
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2010/05/she-knits.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Monday, May 03, 2010. I have a new favourite baby girl pattern - The Elizabeth Tunic. Not only is it a quick an easy - but not boring - knit that can be adapted in a variety of ways, but the final garment is an extremely practical and wearable item. The dress becomes a tunic top as the child grows and can be knitted in a variety of yarns for either summer or winter wear. And here is Georgia modelling the seamless kimono top. The natural beauty Of Himalayan Trek.

The Knitaholic: Au revoir - for now
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2010/09/au-revoir-for-now.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Monday, September 06, 2010. Au revoir - for now. As is pretty obvious, I haven't blogged for a while. Maybe it is a case of everything having its time; like many other net-savvy knitters I'm spending a lot more time on Ravelry, having direct real-time conversations with other knitters. I may come back and restart this blog later; I may move onto other things. But to myself and anyone else who stumbles upon this, I say 'Au Revoir'. My free knitting patterns.

The Knitaholic: December 2009
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Dinner at the Boganville Hotel. I had the dubious pleasure of dining last week at one of Melbournes suburban hotel/pokies/childcare centres. . It was specifically selected by my friend because there was a play area for her five-year-old. It scares the hell out of me that I may in a few years see this an acceptable dining venue. I doubt it but. The place was packed with young families having a 6pm dinner. One had to go up to the ...

The Knitaholic: February 2010
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Sunday, February 21, 2010. No news is good news. Or so the saying goes. The official news is that there is. No news. I fear bub has become confused as to how to get out - the last few days there has been lots of kicking and pushing on the tum I think it is trying to break out Alien-style. I have taken to crossing off the dates on the calendar in our toilet, counting down to eviction day. The end is in sight one way or another. Links to this post. The hat has b...

The Knitaholic: August 2009
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show 2009. July 16-18, 2009. I went on Saturday, 17 July with my friend Kris of whom I forgot to take a single photo -argh! Bad friend (me),. So only a month late, I decide to upload some photos that were taken on the day. Eat your heart out J - woodfire pizza. With Charly of ixchelbunny fame. The cutest ugg boots on sale. How can I resist? My haul from the day - fairly modest in the end! Links to this post.

The Knitaholic: Moebius Magic
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2010/05/moebius-magic.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Sunday, May 02, 2010. I love knitting that gives a great deal of 'bang for the buck' - that looks a lot more complex and time-consuming to create than the reality. Shapes inherently stretch the minds of most people who encounter them. Fortunately for us knitters there is the irrepressible Cat Bordhi. Who has discovered a relatively simple way to cast stitches onto a circular needle to create moebius. The top scarf, knitted out of a skein of ixchel.

The Knitaholic: January 2010
http://theknitaholic.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
The random thoughts of a born-again knitter. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Shoot me if I ever do this. I clicked on the blog of a certain Australian yarn dyer to see if there was any more information about when her next batch of yarn would be available for sale. The last time I visted her blog (in December) she had photos of the most delectable rainbow yarns that she had done for a wholesale order. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 26, 2010.
