I'm still singing the praises of Last Minute Knitted Gifts, this time for the speedy wristwarmer pattern. Yes, you could have figured it out yourself, but I needed a recipe to coax me back to my needles. My mother asked me for some wristwarmers for herself and her colleagues, who work in a wonderful converted barn that is less blessed in the heating department.So I headed to my stash to craft a

Well, well, well... I bet you didn't expect to see this on your Bloglines!I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. More specifically, I am knitting again. I need to get off my butt and take some photos, but for now, I'll show off a little something that got me through those last few days of pregnancy.Pattern: Children's Cotton Hat from Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle HoversonYarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran,

This may surprise you, but despite being almost 7 months pregnant, I have not completed a single garent for the impending bubba. This is not because I do not love to see babies swaddled in woolly loveliness, or that I haven't seen a bazillion patterns ripe for the knitting.It's just that I have been facing my needles with indifference lately. Blame my close relationship with throwing up, lack of

Wowzers, I bet you didn't expect this to light up on your Bloglines again.Yup, Purl Friday is still knitting. In fact, she will be doing very little else when she kicks off her maternity leave next month.What's that? Yes. Purl Friday and the The Boy are expecting a little wool swaddled bundle of joy in December. Long story. Proper update soon though!

I prefix this post with a warning that I am broke. Totally broke beyond belief. But I have always been curious about Knitpicks. They are a great source of curiosity to Brits as they don't ship here. I am also yet to find a very affordable source of 100% wool for my musings and $1.99 a ball (albeit a bit scratchy) sounds amazing. So I ordered some goodies today. Some Knitpicks Gloss to make myself

Yes guys, I'm knitting again.I started by heading back to Stitch and Bitch and meeting up with all the wonderful ladies and their amazing creations. The crowd hadn't changed much in the months I was gone but it was good to see a few new faces!I have to say that I did finish the Central Park Hoodie, although I didn't manage to sew in the ends before I went to New York so it couldn't be unveilled

I'm afraid I can't knit right now.My boyfriend of six years broke up with me and I am unable to continue knitting as a result. It's odd - for him knitting has brought great comfort during a difficult time. But for me, it has given me too many memories and difficult times to face.A tangle in a ball reminds me of how he'd patiently sit and unwind the ferocious knots that somehow find their way into

When you lay all the pieces out, it kinda resembles a sweater! This is one speedy knit. I could finish tonight if I wanted... and if I knew I had enough wool. I am not sure we're going to make it all the way - I might just bite the bullet and order a couple of extra balls for piece of mind.There's definitely enough to reach the second shoulder - I am just being lazy.Why has this gone so quickly?

Almost the end of 2006... and I have done a whole lot of knitting this year. I believe I have made the bumpy transition from beginner to comfy intermediate/advanced... I have some lovely pics of my festive knits being enjoyed but due to a technological malfunction, they'll have to wait until 2007 to be enjoyed. Until then, I have gotten started on what should be my first FO of 2007. The Central

Ugh.. Is it the 26th yet?I have reall done myself damage trying to get the festive knitting done. I figured I was short on cash (giant council tax bill) but heavy on yarn, so hats, gloves and socks all round. However, for the past couple of weeks at least, festive knitting has been far from enjoyable. I love being able to tackle my time over a project, enjoying the process and looking forward to

Ok, so my posts here have few and far between. But I have still been putting sticks to string, often at a rapid pace. I thought I was being clever when I decided to knit a bunch of Christmas gifts. Besides, I had muchos yarn and very little cash. But it has backfired and I now have a shedload of unfinished projects. Some people have been working against me though... My wonderful little brother.

This pattern needs no introduction. These were a present from my boyfriend for my 24th birthday. And I love them to bits. Yes, they are slightly different sizes, despite being made with identical wool on identical needles shortly after each other. I think it's just one of those things. Like the sheer greatness of having a boyfriend who shares the fibre love and gives great presents :)Smugness

I am sorry for the delay in posting - I have just spent four days stranded/gorging in the Oxfordshire countryside without a USB cable for my camera. Four days without work has left plenty of time for consuming vast amounts of Thanksgiving fare as well as clicking my needles together and surfing Bloglines.

Knitting as dummies... How pretty does this look? You'd never this is a resounding mistake. With Widdershins safely off the needles and wrapped up for Christmas I needed a quick fix. No more tiny needles for me. After an expensive trip to Get Knitted on Saturday I picked up a skein of Lamb's Pride Bulky in Lemon Drop.I recall reading someone else's blog over the past few weeks how difficult they

As Socktoberfest comes to a close...You may have noticed that I haven't been around much. There's a few reasons for this... the most annoying is the lack of daylight hours I get to take photos at the moment. In the summer, when daylight was in abundence, I was happy to update post-work with pictures taken in the last few rays. But the winter leads to sad flash-ridden images like those you'll see

A little Socktoberfest meme that everyone else on my blog roll has done...When did you start making socks? Did you teach yourself or were you taught by a friend or relative? or in a class? I learned all by myself, thanks to a handy leaflet with my 'How 2 Knit Socks' kit fromThe Woolly Workshop. I had put off doing it for some time - I had heard one heel-turning horror story too many and thought

Baby I love you... Yup, I have finished something! It's a teeny tiny baby raglan, roughly based on Debbie Bliss Baby Knits again. I adjusted the sizing to work with DK yarn (it was originally in aran) and whipped it up mostly while chatting on Friday night. I can see why so many people knit for babies.... it's immensely satisfying to see it come together so quickly.I felt a bit at a loss when

A little update...I sat swatching during Britain's Next Top Model tonight for the perfect colour combo for a baby sweater. I decided I want to knit a bottom-up raglan with cute at the shoulder buttony whatsits. Due to my yarn diet, this will have to be manufactured from my stash. I began swatching with Garn DK cottons and eventually came up with this little combo. In reality, the brown is less

Undyed Opal, with the addition of Pink Lemonade and some groovy Changin' Colours Kool Aid. It should turn out generously self-striping as I spread the skein almost the length of my flat before I dyed it. The blue/green

On FOs and fashion...Ok, so it's lonely at the moment, but here's the first of many pairs of cabled footies from One Skein. They are speedy and not too thought intensive - cast on during Lost on Tuesday, turned heel at SnB on Wednesday, finished up on train on Thursday morning - but me being me, I have managed to misplace 2 cable needles in 2 days. I am very annoyed about this and although I

I was wrong. I don't make mistakes...I couldn't just leave that beautiful fair isle hat unwearable. So I bit the carefully stitched bullet and pulled apart the crown decreases.Angry with myself, I added 8 straight rows before beginning the decreases, where I slipped in a couple of even rows for good luck. Et voila - a perfectly wearable hat. While I had the camera out, I also snapped The Boy in

On the hottest day of the year.... I bring you Rogue in all her glory.Pattern: Rogue by Girl From AuntieThis beautifully written is worth every penny - I have no desire to hear your piffle about patterns not being worth paying for when there's Knitty and Magknits. 19 pages of expertly written instructions and charts is worth at least $6.00, ok?Size: MThis is a terribly generous pattern - you can

First peeks - a hoodless RogueIt's either me or a rabbit in headlights!Body complete and the hood is well on the way. I am so pleased that it fits - I was suspicious the the Medium would be miles too small but it actually fits babout right. The hood is a doozie - I can only work a few rows at a time before getting exhausted. But the end is nigh...Naff picture though it may be, the cabling looks

Summer Knitty ahoy!How much do I love the latest edition of Knitty?Enough to have already knitted some earflaps for Swell as a start to my Christmas knitting!I think this must be my favourite issue yet as the focus is on accessories... I dunno about you guys but I am usually way too impoverished to have enough wool for an entire sweater just waiting in my stash. However, I do tend to buy things

I'm back... with a FO as well!Well, I did intend to tell my knitting buddies that I was off to sun myself in Jamaica for a week. I really did. But rather than spark jealousy and unrest, I slunk off quietly with a bottle on tanning oil and a ball of Paton's cotton and came back with the Saturday Market Bag from Magknits.It is essentially one of the fastest knits in the West - each side is only 24

Rogue is on the growI'm still here. And I'm still knitting of course. Rogue fell out of favour for a little while when I made a mistake.... I forgot a cable. Just skipped over it while watching Big Brother. I was so annoyed with myself - there has been some really hairy cables in this sweater and I have pulled them off fairly successfully - but this one just sneaked past my radar, angering me

She shoots, she scores!Ok, so I know I was supposed to be on a strict fibre diet until after I return from holiday. I was doing well, even resisting discount Cashmerino over at Kangaroo. But when I wandered into the Marie Curie charity shop on Gloucester Road and saw this lovely stuff, I was powerless to resist. I saw that there were 2 bags... both weighted at over 500g. The plastic had been

Rogue knitter - mwa ha ha...I started to blog about these gorgeous Rogue sleeves last night but then I realised they showed how much I had been slacking on my first jumper. So I knuckled down and finished the second one last night, casting on for the body this morning after I was rudely awakened by the cat.They seemed to take forever last night and as you can see, it appears The Boy was not up

I'm back! And I have actually been knitting!Well, it's been a long time coming but I have finally found a layout I like. Everything seems to work smoothly but if you get swallowed and chewed up by some nasty code, I cannot be held responsible. And while this HTML chaos has been swirling, I have been knitting. Which is probably what you're interested in. Shall we take a look?I put together this (

Yup, welcome to default layout hell.I swear I will fix this soon.Also, my local Martins sells Knit 1. And The Boy bought me a copy this morning. And there's actually something in it that I want to make?Do I make the knit boxer shorts as a thank you?

No knitting to blog about but...This is Leroy. He is gorgeous. He'll be rifling through my knitting basket with glee from the end of June when he comes to live with the rest of my nutty knitting brigade.He has already won over The Boy and I fear I will be hopeless against his long-whiskered charms.

Finally!It seems that Blogger was sick of my rantings and decided to refuse to let me update for the past few days. It seems that I am the winner though...Mmm... admire Rogue! I have actually now completed this sleeve and am well on my way with the second one. Unfortunately, I made that timeless mistake of knitting during Lost. And "lost" track of what row I was on. Consequently I ended up with a

The problem with beautiful wool is...Progress pictures become rapidly outdated. Every evening I have taken a picture of my growing Rogue sleeve but by the time the next morning has rolled round, it has grown another few inches and looks entirely different so I would claim that it's false advertising.Rogue is a beautiful knit so far, despite the fact that I had to rip back the entirety of the

The Clap WON'T beat me...In fact, I have been kicking her ass this weekend. Nowhere in Central Bristol was able to furnish me with some 2.25mm needles to work on my Jaywalkers so I had to order some off Ebay - fortunately this seller is uber-speedy and I should be able to get to work on them by mid-week.In the meantime, I turned my attentions to the clapotis. I have completed 10.5 of the 13

Losing my virginity...In the sweater sense of course. There's no filth on my blog.I've been knitting for six months now and can do most things... intarsia? Pah. Fair Isle? Not too bad. In the round, on DPNs, felt or add a whopping great cable? I'm there. Even k5tog doesn't make me cry anymore.But I am yet to knit the obligatory My First Sweater.

Ugh... searching...As Bristol city center is yet to present me with any 2.25mm needles that I can procure in my lunch hour, my giant Jaywalker lives and I am back on the Clap. The long, laborious rows are bringing me no pleasure and I really wish that I could give up. But she's a big 'un and incredibly pretty. And I have used about 60p of the giant £2 cone she is being crafted from.In other news,

What a difference 0.25mm make...Sometimes I just don't have the right needles. Or choose to scan over the bit in the pattern that specifies them. Swatches? Pah, they're for losers.Consequently I have one GIANT Jaywalker that I'll be frogging tonight. Luckily I love the pattern and will soon catch up again.However, Mum's second pair of socks will not be ready by Friday. And I need to find some

In praise of a quick finish...I managed to knit up and felt this lovely little bag in a single evening. It was all very fluid - the wool arrived from The Natural Dye Studio on Wednesday morning, I cast on in the evening as I cooked dinner and by the time Lost Season 2 started on Channel 4 I was ferociously felting it in a bucket. I am pleased with the results - the handles are a little off but it

Where is the love?I'm having to ask myself. I am knitting to a deadline, which I don't find fun at all. Instead, I looked to my stash for all the fun things that I'll have to tinker with when I am through.Gorgeous handspun (left) is 170 yards of pure whimsy. I am thinking that it might need to be a hat...AMERICAN YARN! Granted, it's not the 100% wool goodness I asked for, but it's something

I got this rather yummy book in the post this morning. And it has me reaching for my pay cheque...The majority of the patterns are nothing new but it is interesting to see what you can do with a single skein of yarn, especially when you're on a budget.

It's the final countdown...I'm clapped out on the clapotis. She is coming together nicely and I am sure she'll be warmly received but I only have a week to finish.... and the half way mark is only just in sight. I might have to keep her for myself. The £2 yarn is actually rather nice to work with. It's a purty colour...The dropping of the stitches is deliciously good fun, although the first wonky

Sadly, I only have until May 4th to finish this baby so I am going to have to put in some serious hours! I also need another Cascading Leaves sock finished by May 12th. I do like a challenge...In

Finances still aren't looking promising enough for my red Cashmerino Boob Holder so I decided to look into my stash. I found a cone of gorgeous purple/pink/blue light

Because updates without pictures are boring...Here's my little brother modelling a Panta. Possibly the most knitted item on the 'net. I am about to make another one to throw in a parcel for my latest Craftster swap. Which is why I need a "What to Knit Next" list:* A cabled panta for my swap partner* My first pair of socks (I'm in the finishing stretch of my second sock - not far to go now)* My

TA-DAH!Check it out! A completed sock! This is slightly out of date as I have half-finished its partner already but - WOW! Hand knitted socks are a beautiful thing - incredibly warm and soft. I am looking forward to have a whole pair...I made one silly mistake with my first sock - removing the stitch markers while I worked on the foot. You need to keep them in place to shape the toe but I didn't

Where my dealer at? Like for most addicts, finding a little extra cash at the end of the month is a bonus. I was having a glance at my Paypal account when I discovered some forgotten funds so I headed to my favourite supplier The Natural Dye Studio.This stuff is as soft as butter and beautifully dyed using all natural ingredients. This is Australian sock wool that I'll be using to make a pair of

Goddamnit.http://www.littleturtleknits.com/pithyhat.htmSomeone beat me to it.But I still refuse to follow her pattern as a matter of principle. Real red hat girls don't need a pattern. Hmph.Anyhoo, I want it in DK cotton. There's no way ANYONE wears worsted weight yarn in a Kentucky summer.

Last night, I stayed up a little late watching a DVD. For those of you in the UK, treat yourself to 3 free rental from Amazon.co.uk. I haven't got the link to hand but it is easy enough to find. The first thing they sent me was Elizabethtown, starring Kirstin Dunst and Orlando Bloom. I didn't expect miracles but this was particularly bad. But something did catch my eye...Look at that hat! Mmmm...

Finally, a lovely little chart for Boo!This won't be his final resting place - he'll soon be in the patterns section, to the right of this entry. But I think he is happy here now. And he's clearly to small to read comfortably there so click here:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/keletubbie/Blog%20pics/BooChart.jpgI made him in Excel during my lunch hour - what do you think?

A nice speculative post...So Mary Kate looks a treat in her eternity shawl. To be honest, I think she bounces between the roles of style maven and bag lady. And if I met her, I'd buy her a pie. But I like the shawl.ASOS.com liked it too. But £120? Nope. I can make this. It has reminded me of a stash of pale blue mohair mix that I have residing in the bottom of a plastic box. I might not love it

When a sock is born...There sits the mottled beginnings of my first sock. Before I reach the horror stories of heel turning, he just sits there, small and stripey, with neat rows of stitches and tiny needles that look like toothpicks. Isn't he cute?I have also cast on a lurid blue acrylic Fair Isle hat for myself to keep me calm during those dark heel turning days. I imagine it'll be finished

Mum's Arm Warmers - complete! I feel if my mum has chosen to look at this despite my warnings, she deserves to have the surprise spoilt :)EDIT: Pattern now correct. Cast on 37 stitches, not 38!These were a deliciously quick knit and I love them. Here's the vital statistics:Name: Chevron Arm Warmers Pattern: My own, although the stitch pattern was taken from the Elongated Chevron that can be found

No matter how many times you click the 'Recover post' button... It won't bring back the entry I just wrote, will it?All has been quiet on the blogging front as I decided to step away from my needles following 'Knit Rage 2006'.

I have suffered some KA. Knit Anger.One moment, I was delighted to be reaching the crown decreases of Nippertails. I was envisaging how cute I would look with my pigtails bobbing up and down as I skipped to work. I was marveling at how amazing my Kool Aid dyed wool was looking all knitted up.Then disaster struck. I tried ripping back. Then I started crying. And ripping. And crying more. Why

Nintendo Knits FTW! All rise for King Boo! This hat was my first attempt at colour work other than stripes and a great triumph in seeing something through from vague idea to finished product. I am very pleased with it! Unfortunately., his royal highness isn't for me. He'll soon be sandwiched in a Jiffy bag and heading out to Virginia for a new home with my Craftster swap buddy...

What on Earth is that I hear you cry. It does look a wee bit scary, but it's definitely knitting. And it has been giving me nightmares...It's a WIP - my swap hat for the VG swap on Craftster. Man, I have been dragging my heels with this one. When complete, it'll resemble a Boo from the Mario games. You know the guys. evil wee critters. I was worried that he was looking a little bit soft and

Knitting for non-knitters can be rewarding! Just look above at my lovely friend Sara sporting her Kittyville hat. You can't see the hat clearly but I rarely think that matters when it comes to these - hasn't everyone knit one? There is a thread over at Craftster (in fact it's http://http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=61339.0) that talks about the woes of knitting for non-knitters. In

Could you be......the most beautiful yarn in the world? Gosh, I am in love. I spent most of the weekend frantically knitting a Kittyville hat for a friend's birthday tomorrow. But I realised I needed a break when one of the kitty ears got graft on the wrong way round. To compose myself, I headed to the bathroom with 2 pans, 3 packets of Kool Aid (2 cherry, one in a frightful blue flavour) and

Love is...Modelling your girlfriend's stash busting knits of course. Please meet the ugly hat. Ugly Hat was born out of 2 balls of cheap acrylic from a charity shop and the Hot Head pattern from SnB. Despite it's dubious looks, it is terribly warm and fits giant heads such as mine and his. And it cost about 8p to make. Rather adorably, I decided that they could be his and hers hats. Same pattern,

Well, let me try an introduction.My name is Kelly and I'm 23. I work as a journalist in bonny Bristol. I live in a big blue house with my boyfriend Danny, also an aspiring knitter, two chubby guinea pigs Petri and Zelda, a goldfish named Forrest and Hendrix, my cat.I started knitting in October 2005. And I couldn't do it. My copy of Knitting Made Easy was a liar. All I wanted to do was make a
