As Autumn approaches and Summer fades the world seems to slow down towards Winter’s sleep. The children have returned to school and most people have had the excitement of their summer holidays (unless you live in the southern hemisphere, of course,) but I’m not feeling that slowing down myself. There’s always something that needs to… Continue reading Slowing Down….I Don’t Think So

Well, what a corker of a holiday weekend! I know not everyone appreciates the heat but we get so little of it in the UK that I like to make the most of it. We got out and about in the glorious countryside, ate out, and managed to spend a fortune on a new, but… Continue reading Bank Holiday

This is just a quick note to tell you that my Texture Trios are now in the shop.! A set of three mini skeins: one each of Kid Mohair/Silk, Sparkle, and 100% Superwash Merino. New colourways are being created today 🙂 Have a lovely weekend, everyone x

So I’ve started a beautiful design by Sandra Paul (Cherry Heart), called Ziggy Interrupted.… Continue reading How Time Flies!

I was given a skein of natural, undyed lace weight merino and then fell in love with a hand dyed skein by Rhapsodye Yarns. Needless to say , I purchased it. Several years later the right… Continue reading Loving Lace Weight

Well, it’s been a few weeks since my last blog. Life has been pretty busy. We’ve had a fantastic Easter, a holiday, and a great day out at the annual Green Fair. Easter was so gorgeous this year that enjoying the local countryside was the order of the day. The Green Fair at the Sustainability… Continue reading Back to the Grindstone

I’ve needed a lot of perseverance this week; I finished the beautiful colour work yoke of my Gaudi sweater by Julie Knits in Paris and now it’s round after round of plain stocking stitch…groan! However, it’s not all bad as I’m using John Arbon Knit By Numbers which is gorgeous stuff, but I have decided… Continue reading Perseverence
