Hi, did any of you see this programme on Channel 4, Thursday nights? I really enjoyed it, thought it get better with each episode. For me there was something in every episode that i was interested in (can't say that about too many tv programmes) knitting, quilting, spinning and the beautiful glass. I love Kirstie's other Channel 4 programme, so to watch her do up her home was a joy to watch,

So sorry for not posting on here for so long, well there goes one of my new year plans to blog more. Things have been really mad and the time has just slipped by (too much to do and so little time). On the knitting front i have taken the plunge and ordered a starter sock kit (having read about socks for so long on the AY forum) well it arrived on Saturday and i have made a start. I got into

Sorry i haven't posted recently, didn't have a great xmas i had the 'sickness bug'. Hope yours was much better. I've decided not to post about New Year resolutions because honestly how many of us actually stick to them but i do want to put down a few things and hopefully be able to look back on them at the end of the year (having completed them or some of them) and feel i have done something for

Gloves now finished and DD2 is very happy with them, knitted in Aran yarn they are very warm indeed. I will have to find time from somewhere to knit a pair for myself.

Thanks for your lovely comments. This is the first time i've knitted using this yarn (think it had just arrived in the shop) there was a jacket already knitted up in the shop and that mind my mind up for me, finished the back, just the sleeves to go now, not made as much progress as i would of hoped by now, too much going on in everyday life and that's the reason also i haven't posted on here for

Current WIPThis is my current WIP, knitted on 10mm needles, which knits up nice and quick (thats good for me, as i can sometimes get fed up mid way through a project because it's not moving along fast enough), it's a King Cole pattern and the yarn is called Aero, very nice and soft.
