Glitz Knitz: this one go chunk

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2007/01/this-one-go-chunk.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Saturday, January 27, 2007. This one go chunk. A small cold moment on a freezing January afternoon gives me the perfect opportunity to finally show off my triumph:. FO: Bulky Cabled Cardigan. Glampyre's Bulky Cabled Sweater. Tivoli Chunky Tweed, 100% wool, in shade 755, and a random ball of Tivoli Chunky yarn, also 100% wool, in navy. 8mm, 7mm and 5 1/2 mm Addi Turbos. Probably about a week and a half. It's January. So I knitted on and on and on. There are a...

Glitz Knitz: fairest isle

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2007/01/fairest-isle.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. And I am ridiculously in love with it. FO: Endpaper Fair Isle i-pod cosy. Knit in the round, based on Eunny Jang's Endpaper Mitts. Fair-isle, and inspired by tragicheroine's iPod sock. Fortissima Socka, in colour 1012 (that's the hot pink), and Sirdar Town and Country 4-ply sock yarn, in colour 154. I used the teeniest scrap; you'd hardly notice I'd touched the skeins. Ribbing done on 2mm needles, body on 2.5 mm. Posted by la glitz.

Glitz Knitz: FO: it's amazing what a giddy rush of colours can do

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2007/04/fo-its-amazing-what-giddy-rush-of.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Tuesday, April 10, 2007. FO: it's amazing what a giddy rush of colours can do. It is truly astonishing what a giddy rush of colours can do to a knitter, isn't it? The label on my multicoloured merino yarn said, adorably, Make your yarn happy - Knit It Now! So I did. Fast. This would have made great socks, but the shawl is something else. Celestial Merino Dream, in colourway Fiesta, on sale from Get Knitted. Unblocked splendour. Check out those colours! We wo...

Glitz Knitz: packages!

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2006/06/packages.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Friday, June 30, 2006. Is there anything more delicious than packages? With, for example, shiny yellow cotton-viscose yarn, and pretty old-rose cotton yarn, and slightly dull-olive cotton yarn, and more shiny cotton- viscose baby-blue yarn. for example. I had ordered the. Yarn in a slight. Oh yes. And perhaps also for the little boy who is no longer a baby and has a birthday coming up this summer too? Posted by la glitz. Ich hätt da 2 Ideen für Baby- Kleinki...

Glitz Knitz: not scarlet, but orange

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2007/05/not-scarlet-but-orange.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Sunday, May 13, 2007. Not scarlet, but orange. Ack, it has been a while. As ever, it feels as though there's been no knitting at all, and as ever, I find to my surprise that actually, I've been knitting almost without thinking in the holes of a really ridiculously busy fortnight. In fact, I've f'ed some o's, who would have thought? Teeny tiny needles, endless ribbing, tough (though softer than usual) cotton: I finished it! A month or so. Not that many, really.

Glitz Knitz: A clean yarn drawer is a peaceful mind

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2008/04/clean-yarn-drawer-is-peaceful-mind.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Tuesday, April 08, 2008. A clean yarn drawer is a peaceful mind. I've been writing a lot over the last week, and working away in the back of my mind has been a stash tidy session: destash, knit up, log on Ravelry, contemplate, decide. Gradually working through the stuffed plastic bags that have been clogging up my drawers and my mind for the last year, and thinking, do I really want to take this with me? What have I learned in the past three year's knitting?

Glitz Knitz: the return of autumn, the return of knitting

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2008/11/return-of-autumn-return-of-knitting.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Saturday, November 01, 2008. The return of autumn, the return of knitting. It's been a while. There are reasons, and I think I'll list them, and then you can decide which excuse flies. (This is the precise opposite of the strategy that works best with parents, teachers and bosses, of course, where the key is to pick one single excuse, any excuse, and stick to it. But you are my loyal readers, and that's different.) So:. I just got civilised! I got a new job.

Glitz Knitz: O Stash, How I Love Thee

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2008/04/o-stash-how-i-love-thee.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Thursday, April 03, 2008. O Stash, How I Love Thee. No really, I do love my stash. Not all of it equally, of course. But there's such a sense of frugality when knitting from stash! I am drooling already! Better yet, I have a knitting partner in crime on the trip, so I suspect we'll be enabling an awful lot of fancy American kettle-dyed hand-reared yarn to make up for the acrylic wilderness of Northern England where we now live. Hooray! Rose Red, from Ysolda.

Glitz Knitz: the untold viciousness of the ipod nano

http://glitzknitz.blogspot.com/2008/03/untold-viciousness-of-ipod-nano.html

Transeuropean adventures in neurotic fibrosis. Sunday, March 02, 2008. The untold viciousness of the ipod nano. So what else have I been knitting, these cold and weary months? Warm accessories, yo, to make my life that bit cosier in the wuthering Yorkshire blasts. (I never knew what wuthering. Truly meant until I moved here.) Some of it has been full of success, for example:. Made up myself, from the Harmony Guide to Knitting Stitches. Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky (bargain! A week or so. Kaffe Fassett ...
