It has been a zero energy week, and even less energy this weekend. I also had a tussle with my Dill in Purple. I've re-done the middle section several times and it still isn't right, SO I'm setting it aside for now and getting on with Novelette - Floor Length in Grey. I'm not mad … Continue reading October 17 2025

Hello all Another busy and rollercoaster week meant I only got a few hours in on Dill in Purple. Sadly to make matters worse I will have to rip almost the whole work back – both sleeves. One I've done already. I increased too fast and made the sleeves too wide, so I ran out … Continue reading October 10-16 2025

Hey, thanks for dropping by 🙂 This week wasn't the best week, but I managed to get my version of Rowan's Dill started. (My project on Ravelry here) In truth I've probably completely gone way off the pattern. I just did some maths and cast on according to my measurements and how I wanted it … Continue reading October 3-9 2025

Hello! Well, I'm sorry to report I've had another poor week for knitting – it's been another one of those discombobulated weeks, including several nights of not-so-great sleep. I haven't been completely idle though, I had a bit of project shuffle and subsequent Ravelry List shuffle. I've been wanting to keep going with Oversized Hug … Continue reading September 26 – October 2 2025

This week has been much the same as the last two. I'm still quite busy with other things, but also sadly I had to frog Forest Whispers, so some time "wasted" there. At least I didn't get further into it before making that decision. Instead, I started up another cardigan I had my eye on … Continue reading September 19-25 2025

Last week was another not-so-productive knitting week. I had some other things that needed doing, and I got them done but the end of the week has arrived and I've only managed to do a few inches of Forest Whispers. I also re-shuffled the projects around, but sadly the volume taking up room on my … Continue reading September 12-18 2025

Hello! Just a quick and dirty one (I'm referring to my keyboard – it could use a clean) this week. Not a lot of knitting this week, and definitely no new ones started as I wanted to. But I did manage to at least finish the first sleeve on the Drops Oversized Hug. I am … Continue reading September 5-11 2025

I'll be honest, I don't have a lot to report on knitting related news for last week. My focus has been commandeered by saying goodbye to three of my favourite colleagues and news of impending career changes for me in a couple of months. I'm luckier than most, I have at least a couple months … Continue reading August 29 – September 4 2025

A little context: I'm at the very tail end of a verrry long de-clutter session, I've been through every last thing in the house and oh my gawd it took too too long. I've donated / gifted / sold so much stuff we didn't need / want / love anymore. I won't lie, it was … Continue reading August 22-28 2025
