I have been rather slack lately and I’m blaming it all on the weather making me feel decidedly sluggish the instant I finished work with the weekend spent on playing catch up on chores neglected during the week. I’ve dub it London-itis and believe that it is completely contagious with the apathetic suit cladded, underground… Continue reading Knitting with the galaxy

Poor Anne Elliot
It’s Sunday and for once in a long, long time I have a whole slothful Sunday to myself to do absolutely nothing (oh aside from laundry, grocery shopping and other chores). It doesn’t matter that the sun is actually shining outside, I will not fall into the trap of feeling guilty for being indoor! I… Continue reading Poor Anne Elliot
Post Christmas
The rather unfortunate result of flying in the wrong direction on Christmas Eve meant that I sort of spent Christmas on the plane. Sort of as in reality it was a non day which I guess meant it was a non Christmas as well. On the other hand the plethora of left over Christmas decoration… Continue reading Post Christmas
Christmas knit and Secret Santa
The rather doubtful joy of being jet lagged is the odd opportunities of waking up at 5 AM and not being able to go back to sleep, lending itself to be a perfect time to update my blog regarding all Christmas matter before the day arrives. Last week was the last Stitch N Bitch London… Continue reading Christmas knit and Secret Santa
Bust Craftacular and the week that was
One of the best things I love about London is the likelihood of bumping into events that would never venture out into Australia. A good example is Bust’s Craftacular, a DIY craft market sponsored by my favourite magazine that finally expanded across the Atlantic and held its first London Craftacular this year. Held in a… Continue reading Bust Craftacular and the week that was

Completed my Peekaboo mittens and rather happy that I managed to do it in time for the finger numbing chilliness that managed to sweep its way into the city. It’s… Continue reading Christmas in the air and peekaboo

Bit of ribbing
Ribbing Snippets from last night’s Stitch N Bitch at the National Theatre. On seeing a group of knitters in the Long Bar.. Man: “Are you a mother’s circle?” SNB: “No, we are knitting circle”. Man: rather perplexed. “Are you a mother’s group?” Seemed like he was expecting an affirmative regardless what the answer was. In… Continue reading Bit of ribbing
When Apple meets knitting
I love it when two seemingly unrelated objects are perfect complements of each other. In this case it goes something like this: Indispensable object A provides much needed entertainment, background music and all around sanity during commute and work. Indispensable yarn type object B (with pointy bits and pieces) keeps my hands busy during commute… Continue reading When Apple meets knitting
