Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes! Headless photos of my new love: Finished this baby on Sunday, while M and I were tucked up on the couch, each wrapped in a doona and each slight-to-moderately hungover. I tried it on and decided it was far too tight and I was a fool of a knitter, [...]
Also tagged CoronaI don’t think I’ve knit anything so pretty for a while. This pretty, lacey, elegant shawl is for my pretty, lacey, elegant Mumini’s birthday. Which makes it nearly a month overdue, but I bought her some earrings to distract her on the day. Provided you’ve been paying close attention to the blog and not drinking [...]
Also tagged Mama MothI couldn’t say for certain where these babies came from. I’m not sure how it happened. One second I was trawling patterns, wishing that I had a set of DPNs between 3.25mm and 4.5mm (theoretically, I’ve got a set of 4mm somewhere, but I’m not sure what they’re doing at the moment), and the next [...]
Also tagged knittingYou’re not going to believe this. So, I finished my Christmas shopping the other day, which was a tremendous relief, and I realised that there was one beloved lady left out. My Nan, who has had a pretty rough year, and with whom I am very close. I had not decided what to buy her. [...]
Also tagged knittingI wrote a little while ago about the start of my Anxiety socks, and now I’ve finally completed them. Huzzahs are in order! I finished the first one in a fit of unhappiness and anxiety, in a situation where there was a lot of driving in the car, a lot of waiting around, and a [...]
Also tagged knitting, socksMy little woolly chum is finished! Aww, look at him there, being all evil. He’s going to take over the universe! Isn’t that just darling? Pew pew pew! Heh. Look at his big, huggable bottom. Oh, who’s a cute, sinsiter little alien? You are! You are! (And check out the adorable triffid next to him!) [...]
Also tagged dalek, knittingI finished Sahara! Yay! For what it’s worth, there are about a million ways in which that picture could be improved; this top is beautiful, fits well and flatters me, but I haven’t known you very long, Internet, and I’m not ready to share photos of myself. And it would look weird on the dog. [...]
Also tagged knitting, SaharaThere is a magic machine at my Mum and Dad’s house that turns these: into these: Magic! And when they have dried, I will be toasty-toed. To be perfectly honest with ya, they’re a little big. They flop about when I walk, and if I run without gripping my toes first, they fall off with [...]
Also tagged knitting, Swamp ClogsIt’s finished! At last, long, long last, I have finished Checkers. I really love this scarf: finishing it was one of the highlights of a really great weekend. May I present it, modelled by the ever-charming Mozart. Remember how I may have implied I was getting sick of knitting this? I don’t. All I remember [...]
Also tagged Checkers, knittingI said I would finish things, didn’t I? Here we go: a pair of cashmere footlets. This is part of my 2008-Let’s-Make-More-Socks campaign (I’m looking for a catchier title). Also, I know I used this pic before, but taking pictures of my feet is a bit too difficult for tonight. Maybe later, darling. And let [...]
