This was birthday yarn and I spent quite a long time searching around for the perfect thing to knit with it. I settled on the Cashmere Cowl pattern because it was simple and something I could wear aga...

This is my very first ever finished crochet project! So exciting ... and pretty. I love the way the pattern works with the short colour repeats in the yarn. This is birthday yarn from last year (thanks Joyce) an...

Birthday Crafting

Shelley — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:52:28 +0100

I think I might spend every birthday in my sewing room after this. It was so relaxing to be sitting working on something just for me. I finished off three little projects for a new spring outfit and wore them out on Friday when we went out for lunch and shopping. Photo credits go to Rob.

I spent my morning finishing my Scrap Wrap and Muff from Denyse Schmidt Quilts. I enjoyed these p...

My Day

Shelley — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:01:45 +0100

I was in my studio this morning and just loved the way the sun looked on my blue walls. I probably should have tidied this shelf before I took a picture of it but I don't think it would have had quite the same feel if I had (and the sun would have moved anyway). I kind of like the clutter that collects here: there are bits and pieces from past and current projects (especially on the pin boa...

A New Little Project

Shelley — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:11:37 +0100

I've started a new portable project. This is the Anne scarf by MK Caroll. I saw the one made by Hello Yarn a while ago and thought it was very pretty. My other crochet project is stalled due to a lack of yarn and I wanted to keep in practice. I really like the curvy nubby look of this pattern. I was originally planning to use some handspun for this, to get those quick colour changes, but I...

This is a great pattern and I know I will be making it again. It shows off a special skein of yarn so well an...

The Perfect Pattern

Shelley — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 01:27:19 +0100

I got this book on Friday.

I was asked to do a really simple but extremely boring job for a friend of my boss (unbinding, scanning and rebinding a bunch of old comb bound books) and as a thank-you he gave me a gift certificate for the bookstore. I went straight to the craft books and perused them all before settling on this one. It looked like it would be a good read, with useful inf...

Rob's Scarf

Shelley — Tue, 01 May 2007 03:03:56 +0100

Pattern: 2 x 2 rib over 28 stitches
Yarn: 3 skeins Manos del Uruguay in Mallard
Needles: 4.5 mm bamboo circular (16”)

This scarf is wonderfully long and cozy feeling. Rob wraps it around his neck twiceand it still has long tails dangling down. I finished it over Easter weekend but the weather was warming so quickly I wasn’t sure Rob would be able to wear it comforta...

Something Simples

Pattern: 2x2 rib across 28 stitches
Yarn: Suli Fibres Tandoori (wool, silk and sparkle)
Needles: 6.5 mm bamboo

This is just a scarf but I rather like it so I thought I’d put it up. Scarf knitting is especially pleasantand meditative because you don’t really need to worry about gauge or following a pattern or anything as long as you like the stuff co...
