Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: Oops I Did It Again
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2011/06/oops-i-did-it-again.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Oops I Did It Again. I blame it all on Tina. I had just put away my latest batch of yarn purchases, and was thinking virtuous thoughts about not buying any sock yarn for a while, and Tina from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Put up a blog post about some of the STR colourways going on vacation. There were a few that I thought would be nice for gift socks and socks for me, so I put in an order for a few (seven! This is what arrived this week. Finish sle...

Zephyrama: January 2008
http://zephyrama.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Inside the shed a lot of work gets done. A lot of dreaming and a lot of mistakes, but occasionally, something happens. zephyrama(at)gmail(dot)com. Monday, January 28, 2008. As I mentioned last post, a parcel has disappeared and an angel tea cosy swap parcel has to be put together. Now I already had a few warrssshhhh (there is always a voice in my head that says this word in a funny way) cloths at the ready and a basic, shamrock stitch cosy ready to embellish. Then when trying to see if there is any 'nice...

Friday Food: Easter Nutella Fudge. Friday, 31 March 2017. Hello Real World: of which we know little as this week we have been for a walk, and then slept till 3pm every day. We are looking forward very much to the extra hour of sleep when Daylight Saving ends this Sunday morning. Well, Nutella Fudge recipes abound on The Internet. Once more I used Nutino. As a slightly more ethical substitute for Nutella. I dont eat Nutella, or any chocolate hazelnut spread because: chocolate. 300g Nutella or substitute.

Knitting, reading, avoiding the ironing. When I first told my sister we were buying a house, she said “As soon as you move in, paint a big patch of colour on the wall, just because you can! 8221; Well, it may have taken us a while to figure out which wall, and what colour, but we have finally done it. The colour is called “Seductress”, and in the tin it looks like blackberry sorbet (I don’t know why, but I almost always think of colour in food terms). Oh, and the other thing about the wall? And we did ch...

Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: November 2011
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Sunday, November 6, 2011. Cables Are My Friend. I'd never really been a big fan of cables before - they always seemed too hard and complicated. I'd completed the odd pair of Fetchings here and there, but never really got what the fuss was all about. Then Camp Loopy happened, and my whole attitude towards cables changed. For the uninitiated, Camp Loopy was the invention of Sheri from The Loopy Ewe. Yarn: Hazel Knits Artisan Sock. Pattern: BFF Socks by Cookie A.

Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: Rare Gems Loot
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2010/01/rare-gems-loot.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Recently I was lucky enough to buy some of the Blue Moon Fiber Arts/Socks That Rock Rare Gems. I've lusted after these for years. But as Tina usually only sells them at the U.S. fibre shows, I figured my chance of ever scoring one of the elusive skeins was nought to zero at best. I chose one skein each of lightweight and mediumweight in the elements of Air and Water, and overall I'm impressed with what I received. I'm a 30 something knit...

My Hidden Stash: Self Knitting Socks
http://myhiddenstash.blogspot.com/2014/05/self-knitting-socks.html
Wednesday, 14 May 2014. Socks that knit themselves you say.yes I say.believe it or not. In fact, these socks knit up so fast that they didn't even get a chance to aquire any mojo. NO MOJO you say in horror. Yes, I'm afraid that I did wrong by these socks. What makes matters worse is that they were traveling socks, destined to be a gift. Let me explain and maybe you'll understand. It all started, as all socks do, with sock yarn that I fell in love with. Please Stand By Yarns. I have a confession.even ...
