It’s been… longer than I intended since I last posted here. I’ve been productive though! While my plans for socks last year ended up postponed until this year, I did make jumpers for both of my children, a blanket for the neighbour’s newborn, and so on. If I comb my main blog, I could probably …
Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I continue to not be doing a great job of posting regularly. My health continues to suck, and it means that I don’t blog like I want to. Sorry about that. I’ve set myself alarms on the weekend to remind me to post, but it’s not been convincing me quite …

Since moving to the United Kingdom mumbly-odd years ago (nine), I have found that my sleeves have shrunk to nothing. Oh, I have long-sleeved shirts, and plenty of awesome t-shirts (lately due to TeeTurtle). So making shirts like this gorgeous ribbed shell have suited my need to have a warm torso, but …
The next top on my roster is the lovely Pulina in Berroco Karma. Now, as much as I admired this pattern, I was annoyed that I couldn’t find a similar-but-cheaper wool to do it in. So I sucked it up and bought the actual wool the pattern calls for. Still, I managed to get it …
As promised, I’m starting to work through my projects, starting with the lovely Nesoi tee. The designer, Miriam Felton, is (besides being a good friend of mine) an amazing designer and knitter. It made me really happy to pick it to start my knitting for my summer holiday wardrobe. Now, I won’t pretend that …

Hello, crafty and sundry! Now, most of us will have a queue of projects in mind. I don’t know about most people, but I tend to leave it to one or two projects max, because I don’t want to have too many things tempting me — I work really hard to have one or two …
Hello, crafty and sundry! When last we met, I was starting on a cardigan for my youngest daughter. I can report that as of today, it is done and complete! The buttons arrived this morning, and I quite happily sewed them on after I finished my for-pay work of the day. The nature …
Hello, Crafty and Sundry! Happy new year and all that jazz, if you’re into it. As one might expect, knitting and gaming have occurred. I’m still on the Skyrim kick. I’ve been enjoying the holiday period for zoning out, which means more Skyrim than most other things. I’m level 55, I still have about 2 …
