No Stitch & Bitch this week due to the city experiencing post snow commuting trauma. Rather sad as I was looking forward to swapping survival stories. To make up here are some photos from last week’s S&B at The Make Lounge in Islington. Tucked away in Islington is a gorgeous little craft haven. The Make… Continue reading Snow Day post knitting

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

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
Wool gathering at the Knitting and Stitching Show
So I spent a whole day when the weather is beautiful outside indoor at the Knitting and Stitching Show… Depending on how I know you and how well I know you, the responses will range from a knowing smirk, disbelief to “so what’s the damage?”. Despite the promise to be good, it was really,… Continue reading Wool gathering at the Knitting and Stitching Show
