ETA: Pattern’s now live! In anticipation of the pattern launch in the next two weeks (IT’S COMING GUYS, I ACTUALLY CAN’T WAIT) I thought it was about time that I shared some pics and thoughts about a pair of socks which genuinely would not let me sleep. These socks were inspired by colour, which I…

Once upon a sock in July 2018 – no socks!
I mean, not actually no socks, because that is pretty much inconceivable. It’s not that dramatic, I finished these in June. a) I love them with all my heart, and b) they are being test knit as I type. Feeling a lot of love for my amazing test knitters right now for working on colourwork…
Once upon a sock in June 18 – actually all about socks
Hey lovely readers, I’m sorry I’ve been neglecting you a bit. Happily today is the first Thursday of the month, which means I owe you a sock update – and I have LOTS to show you because it’s been all socks, all the time round here lately. First off, for those who missed my last…
Finished project – Festive family hat – plus thoughts about life and everything else
I managed a quick FO over Christmas! It is the product of a collaboration between me and Mum, and is based on Tin Can Knits’ Strange Brew swatch hat pattern. I’ve been meaning to try it for ages – I had several odd skeins which I wanted to use up (which I neglected to photograph…

In the spirit of actually posting something, as begun yesterday, I’ve decided there’s no reason you shouldn’t see pictures of what I’ve been up to, even if I don’t have much in the way of words. First up, here’s my project from last Christmas. This was an exceedingly satisfying and interesting pair of socks and…
Endpaper Mitts — January-February 2007
Oops, fell off the planet for a few weeks there. See, this is why I need to always be part of a Secret Pal swap — it forces me to update properly and on a regular basis. To be fair, I moved again a month ago and that’s always a bit life-consuming. Also we haven’t…
last weekend
This is what I achieved last weekend. Finishing the back of my Ribby Cardi. Good old stoic Ribby. It only gets used as an interim knit — picked up and worked on in between the snappy thrilling jazzy knits I can’t resist (more on that below) — and yet keeps on giving and giving. The…
