I want those needles back!
One thing I noticed when tidying my knitting bag recently is that I seem to have a lot of needles in use. I don’t feel like I have a million things on the go, but I confess that the number is higher … Continue reading

Saturday knitting update: Embers
My friend Louise took me up on my offer to spin for her at some point. I was foolish not to get a before picture, but this started as a braid of Superfine Merino from Turtlepurl in a colour called … Continue reading
Socks!
It’s been years since I’ve knit a pair of socks. According to Ravelry I knit a pair in 2009. Last year my daughter came into my LYS with me and spotted Sirdar’s Smiley Stripes in rainbow colours and begged me … Continue reading
Saturday spinning update: holy crap, that’s a lot of yarn!

Saturday spinning update: lichen progress
I only have full bobbins to show and no yarn today. I’ve been busy but when you’re spinning skinny singles things take a while. Each of these bobbins holds 2 batts from my Lichen cupcake batts. I’m not sure why … Continue reading
Cat Bordhi, day 1
I was apparently so excited about starting my weekend of classes with Cat Bordhi that my body felt the need to wake me up at five o’clock this morning. I’m sure I’ll pay for that later, but I’m still going … Continue reading
Even more Frolic swag
So on Saturday I showed you all the fluff that I brought home from Toronto. There was also yarn involved. After spending all day pretty much in the Sheeps Ahoy booth staring at the beautiful yarn from Riverside Studio, I caved. … Continue reading
