Yarn Mistrys

.. at the moment. I have things on the needles, but they are test knits and I’m keeping schtum about them for now.

Instead, I have been jamming! We have an organic fruit/veg box delivery every week and one of the fruits we get are kiwis. I’m not a huge fan of the [...]

Last year, during planting season, Ollie and I discussed having some tomato plants, but we were a little wary as they would have to be grown outside as we didn’t have a green house. Well, the few plants we did have thrived in the south facing garden and we had quite a few tomatos [...]

Woohoo!! I’ve been waiting practically all week to make this post, but the Tunic was blocking and was taking an age and I really wanted to get the Jaywalkers off the needles, which happened last night…

1. Uma, 2. Snow, 3. Postcards, 4. Postbox

Just to let you all know, all of the patterns I had published with The Inside Loop are now available for download through the Free Patterns page above and also Ravelry.

As I’ve probably mentioned before, I’m more of a being-inside-looking-out-through-the-window type of appreciator of snow.

We’ve been out this morning for [...]

I’ve just had an email from Kate & Diane, the girls behind The Inside Loop and it looks like The Loop is no longer going to be in production.

This means that in the next few days/weeks I shall be moving all my featured patterns/articles off there and hosting them on my blog and [...]

... the blog! It’s been over a month since I last posted and I’m truly apologetic.

The language course was extremely busy and it’s kept me very occupied. My German is slightly more in existence than before, when it was non-existent. It also looks like I’m loosing the little English I had… as [...]

And here is the promised picture of the pups..

We have a Blenheim male, a Ruby male and 2 Ruby females.. They’re gorgeous and cuddly and still have their eyes closed. Hopefully in the next couple of days they’ll open and we’ll be able to take some more piccies and have them playing in the [...]
