How far I’ve got in the last week or so on the Hickmott “Balloon” kit. Only a couple of froggings, from where I’m not paying attention, but we’ll get there.
Meanwhile, I’ve had to stop myself getting too excited and dropping all current WIPS in favour of knitting a [...]

Take a Break
June 19, 2007I’ve decided to take a short break from The Wedding, due to my inability to count (!), and have decided to do some work on the much simpler “Beautiful Balloons” designed by Mary Hickmott. A completed version is attached below as an indicter of what I’m trying to do
Grr
June 15, 2007Light has been funny here all day due to the rain. Have been working on the Lavender and Lace pattern “The Wedding” which has several colours that are very similar (822 and blanc) and for every stitch I’m making I’ve had to rip at least 3 out. There’s a problem somewhere and I cant find [...]

Tab Closing
June 11, 2007Another round of tab closing….

UK based, many of the books are cheaper than the equivalent on Amazon.co.uk (they also do a comparison with Amazon), as well as offering free P&P. At £15.00, it’s a [...]
Photography day out
June 10, 2007wip0012, originally uploaded by Nordie.
Today was lovely outside, so rather than spend it inside with all the sewing I have to do, I decided to trek outside. I brought a new lens for my camera a few weeks ago and decided to give it and my new tripod a test drive
There’s a park about [...]
wedding, schmeding
June 9, 2007Despite promising myself that I wouldnt do any more stitching until I had at least done the housework, I started doing the Lavender and Lace “The Wedding” kit last week. I tried to do it for my older brother’s wedding, but failed miserably (I HATE working on Linen!), so am attempting it for [...]
How Much?
June 8, 2007I found an article on Ethics and the Needlework Industry, on Craftgossip.com, which began by linking to another article about how much needlework designers get paid. The article goes on to discuss other things, but it was interesting that it came up not long after my completed WIP.
I’ve always wondered if I could make [...]
