I have finished making my knitting needle pouch – from Simplicity pattern 1079. It’s got loads of mistakes, a big one being the outer fabric pattern is the wrong way up – but it’s only for me and I don’t mind it so it didn’t seem worth the effort to cut out more fabric. ThisContinue reading “Knitting Needle Pouch is Done!”

Busy bee again
Wow it’s been a long time since I last posted. Firstly, making the dress took a lot out of me. Secondly, my job was very full-on and left me little time for crafting, and gradually, my mojo slipped away. I left that job but the day I left, I found out a close friend ofContinue reading “Busy bee again”
Dressmaking is Getting There! & Knitting In Public
I am finally feeling like I am making actual progress on the dress I am making because I have almost finished the bodice! Class was a bit boring this week as I had to unpick what I had sewn at home. It was okay; I’d realised as soon as I finished sewing that I’d goneContinue reading “Dressmaking is Getting There! & Knitting In Public”
More Dressmaking Fails & French Knitting
This week in dressmaking class, I was attaching the sleeves and oh my goodness what a nightmare I found it! I’m hoping that by sharing my issues, if/when you make clothes, you’ll find it a little easier. The sleeve edge turned out to be a lot longer than the bodice edge I was attaching itContinue reading “More Dressmaking Fails & French Knitting”
Stitching with Eunice

It was of course a Christmas present, for my little niece. It’s the blanket for this crazy-looking llama! TheContinue reading “Knitting/Colourwork Reveal & A Watercolour!”
You Don’t Scare Me, Colourwork!
I am currently knitting a little Christmas present for my 3 year old niece, and some of it involves colourwork, where you create a pattern within the knitting involving different colours, as used in Fair Isle jumpers, although thankfully my project is very basic and small! This is only my second attempt at colourwork. IContinue reading “You Don’t Scare Me, Colourwork!”
