• FO: That Percy Shawl

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  The Percy Shawl ,or as I prefer to call it: The “Mad, Bad and Orange To Know” Shawl (apologies to Lady Caroline Lamb ). Colour is most accurate in the first photo. I tried knitting this earlier this year but Chart B left me a broken woman. This time I was stuck in bed with bad cold/mild flu and could concentrate ...

• Sneaky Preview

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  Yes, the Percy Shawl is finished. I need to wait for Official Photographer before actual photos are posted (prob Saturday) but here’s a little peek. More previews: the new Interweave Winter Issue preview is up. I am underwhelmed and see nothing I might knit. The winter edition of Twist Collective is slightly ...

• A Work In Progress

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  Remember how I angsted* over knitting my partner a pullover? I just need to do the sleeves now and I’m halfway in love with how this self-designed pullover works. David picked out the yarn himself (New Lanark Aran, a local organic wool, in the Bramble colourway) and said he would prefer a round yoke. The body was ...

• Mad, Bad & Orange To Know

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  Being ill has its benefits. Last time I was stuck in bed for more than two days in a row, I ploughed through Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell which I had previously failed to get into (the plot starts unfolding one-third through the novel). This time around I am knitting whilst listening to podcasts on John Milton ...

• Knitting With Lilith

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  Spending quality time with one of my favourite people is always such a pleasure. Old Maiden Aunt ’s Lilith is currently test-knitting the Adeline Coat for the a black pepper design studio and I  adore the cable detailing. I’m not one to wear copious amounts of cabling (again, body issues) but I know ...

• The End of Something

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  My autumn/winter mitts have been blocked and subsequently worn for several days with much pride. It is a stash-busting project too as I used partial skeins of Lett-Lopi and New Lanark DK I had left over from previous projects. What is not to love? Taking a decent photo of them, however, proved too much for my ...

• Chasing Wool

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  I had to chase a greyhound today. It went up to me in the park, looked adoringly at me, then grabbed a ball of wool and ran away. It did not get very far – not because I am a fast runner ( ahahahahaha! ) but because its owner was right next to us. According to Lilith , who is wise in the ways of dogs and wool, some ...

• Deja Vu

  
  fourth edition — Authority: 422
  YouTube Comment or E.E.Cummings? One of the funniest 20th century poetry/21st Century internet crossovers I have seen today. Not that I have seen that many, of course. After a few weeks of awe-inspiring knitting productivity, my busy fingers have become almost idle. I cast on, knit maybe twenty rows, decide the ...
