There were grand intentions to finish converting my old project pages from the knitting site that shall not be named, across to here. The perfectly consistent was the enemy of done and no amount of faffing around with blocks and using the WP tools (poorly) was going to help the manual process. It's time to... Continue Reading →
Radvent Cardigan
I got an advent from Love and Speckles and being a little at a loss with what to do with yet another advent sized shawl I wanted to turn the mini-skeins into a wearable instead. I arranged for and purchased another 3 100gm skeins in a grey to contrast with the minis and intended to... Continue Reading →
Reversible Honeycomb Cowl
Reversible cables have caught my interest and I wanted to learn how they worked. This type of project is an ideal gift for non-knitters because there's technically no wrong side so your recipient can wear it whichever way pleases them the most.

It also finally felt like the right project for my handspun gradient that I'd been holding onto for the perfect project. I'd made this gradient yarn by painstakingly pulling... Continue Reading →
Tour de Fleece 2021
Tour de France 2021 route map This year the Tour snuck up on me. I've been concentrating on other things and had prepared nothing by the time it was go day. I did manage to catch the coverage as it was going with a couple of hours notice. So this year, once again, I'm playing... Continue Reading →
SM15 3 – What Big Beleaf You Have
Writing this post took a long time to bring myself to. This project took a lot of time to finish; while it wasn't what I'd call a hate knit, it honestly wasn't far from it. I feel it was an interesting choice for relatively early in the competition. In previous years a sock like this... Continue Reading →
