Support for Japan
I know I have fallen behind with my Knitting and Crochet Week posts and I will catch up but I wanted to get this post up ASAP. It’s been rough on our planet Earth these last few months – in Australia there were floods, fires and cyclones. Soon after came the earthquake in New Zealand [...]

Made
It’s been a slow couple of weeks, I’m recovering from my second respiratory tract infection in a month and feel absolutely dreadful so I haven’t been very productive. But here are some FOs from last week. The first is a cosmetic case that I made following queenofdiy’s tutorial at Craftster forum. Totally genuis way of [...]

Project Progress

Still on the needles are the Jo Sharp Singlet, Stargazer, Chevron Scarf and now I’ve cast on some Slip Stitch Rib Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks. I just couldn’t leave [...]

Having tasted it, I think I’ll skip the drinking and go straight to the dyeing next time. This is my first attempt, using Lemon-Lime at one end of the skein and Arctic Green Apple at the [...]
New Projects

I got up before the alarm clock sounded (which is very unlike me) to get there early for all the good stuff only to find out that the ONE staff member involved had called in sick so the whole thing was cancelled. [...]
Sweaters
I visited The Wool Inn today and picked up the last of my yarn for the Hourglass Sweater (or jumper if you live in Australia!). I’ve only finished the sleeves so far so I have lots of knitting yet to do. I’m knitting in Naturally Yarns Harmony 8 ply 703, which is a bargain at [...]
Knitted Purse Swap
I’ve been very slack at updating since I’ve been so busy with uni work. I have two portfolios due next week so I’m a very busy girl! But I wanted to be sure to post a pic of the knitted purse that I received in the Knitted Purse Swap. My incredibly talented swap partner (check [...]
