In fact, the pattern I am about to introduce was first cast on almost two years ago, finished many months ago and has just been waiting for …

Well here we are at the end of the Twisted Roots MAL, and I can hardly believe it. It’s been so much fun chatting with everyone and seeing you making my scarf! I’ll be honest, in the last year or so my knitting mojo has taken quite a hit and I’ve really not done a lot of knitting at all …

Anyway, I’m so happy to be sharing this project with you …

I don’t want to offend or upset anyone, and I don’t want anyone to think this is specifically pointed at them. This is a collective issue …

I’m so happy to finally show you my Sliding Tiles Blanket. Yes, it has a name! I put a call out to my Scheepjes Bloggers to help me think of a name, and after some discussion, Simy Somer mentioned that it reminded her of one of those sliding tile puzzles we used to do back in the day, remember those?! Maybe some …

A little while ago I discussed WIP-itis and a blanket I’ve been working on since pretty much before the wheel was invented. Since then I’ve been busy trying to get it finished and thought I’d give a bit more info, since I was super vague in my last post. This design has been going on for such a long time, I actually …
