Hearts Fingerless Gloves Knitting Pattern

Rainbow Slip Knitted Cowl

Well, I’ve had this off the needles since November and, finally, have finished writing up the pattern for my Rainbow Slip knitted cowl.  It was a holiday project that I began on a “grab some sun in the Med for I’m a Weather Distressed Northern European” break in Menorca.  It was a fab holiday where […]

The […]

Autumn Leaves & Shetland Lace

I love autumn colours, autumn leaves, mushrooms and fungi and delightfully squelchy mud.  This weekend I wandered in the woods basking in the colourful death throes of hundreds of trees, finding mushrooms and squelching in muddy puddles.  The trees are beautiful as they flare in one last beam of fiery colour before they cast their […]

A Bit of Knitting
