So I have finally finished some knitting projects and have a few photos to show off so here goes… I finished another pair of socks that I started knitting as a travelling project when we went up to Scotland. I used the car socks as a base and then added a Celtic Cross pattern to the front of the socks…. Read more »
So I posted a little while ago about my latest project – the Red Lounge Blanket Now I have to admit after I done some initial swatches for the blanket I really lost the motivation for this project for a little while. The first swatch I did was quite successful, this played around with a few different stitches in the… Read more »
It has been a long time since I have been back here, Nikki has been holding down the fort over the summer whilst I have been off sailing. I should currently be sailing but I have been ill so have had to take some time off. I spent most of Cowes week hiding out in the crew house and hoping… Read more »
This is the introduction of another knitting project for Nikki. I’m currently in the process of writing up my thesis for my PhD so I am spending most of my days sat in my desk infront of my computer screens. Although it is all optimised for use it’s still a lot of screentime, so Pippa suggested I start a knitting… Read more »
So I blogged a little while about My first Ravelry project – where I was making a squishy Fisherman’s rib scarf for my dance partner. Well now I have completed it! It has been bundled up and given to him, complete with exclaims of ‘it’s so squishy’. I think it’s safe to safe it was quite well received, which is a relief…. Read more »

So I feel like I have only just finished my OAL2016 Cardigan and am considering knitting another jumper! I feel slightly like knitting is taking over from sewing as my go to hobby at the moment, but it is probably because it is soo much more portable and can be done in the presence of other people with out being… Read more »
I’m so ready for this cardigan to be done right now… For the last month and a half I have been knitting this cardigan and have made good progress but now that I have reached the sleeves and can see the end I can’t wait to finish is and get onto my next project! I think part of this is… Read more »
Ooh shocking this weeks Sunday Sevens post is a Sunday! I am linking up with Natalie to show what my week has been like. This one just sneaks in there. Last Sunday we drove up to Buxton with the motor home and a hire van. As is normal with our family we drove up late at night, what is less normal though is spending… Read more »
So I had thought the deadline for 2016’s outfit along was today and I am still working on the second front for my cardigan. Despite working on the cardigan in many odd places I just didn’t have enough days this month where knitting was possible. It turns out I have an extra month to finish the cardigan. Woop. Lots of… Read more »
