Frock Camisole
Full day of photos from various events and too tired to go through them now. There is something I haven’t posted about for a while and that’s my knitting. I’ve started on this camisole about a month and a half ago, but it took longer than expected due to lack of free time. The pattern… Continue reading Frock Camisole
Wearing the Merino Stripes Eyelet Ribbon Tam Hat Cambridge
I haven’t been posting many of my finished objects, so here’s one. The pattern is the Merino Stripes Eyelet Ribbon Tam from Crystal Palace Yarn. Notice the absence of both the stripes and the ribbon. I loved the pattern’s texture and taking out all the added embellishments seem to work better. My legs are still… Continue reading Wearing the Merino Stripes Eyelet Ribbon Tam Hat Cambridge
Yarn porn
Since *I* need something to cheer myself up while waiting for things to turn up. A little antsy as things are supposed to start moving by today and still no news in a lot of fronts. Have an awful feeling it’s because everyone buggered off early for their summer holiday. Well, when the world is… Continue reading Yarn porn
The forgotten art of knitting/ #19 Lacy Top Vogue Knitting
With all this travelling I haven’t had the luxury to knit in one large block of time. Finding the London SNB group was an absolute god send. What kept me happy other than the fine weather is the very cool Stitch N’ Bitch group in London and the knit crawl on Saturday, in line with… Continue reading The forgotten art of knitting/ #19 Lacy Top Vogue Knitting
Ravelry’s golden ticket
Ravelry is the next hot thing for knitters, in the same way that Burdastyle brought sewing to the 2.0 era. I waited for two weeks for my invitation and it was definitely worth the wait. Since ravelry is the Holy Grail of all knitting sites, something like google knit on crack, but this entire sentence… Continue reading Ravelry’s golden ticket

wwkip07-18 Originally uploaded by jenreindeer on a Sunday, it almost made up the fact that Saturday was probably the coldest day in history. I wandered off to join other knitters at the Sidewalk Cafe amid gale force wind, continuous wet and was warmed by the hard core knitting spirit of 30+ people meeting up for… Continue reading Sun, sun, sun

Knitting in the northern beaches
Most of April was spent in a funk and I doubt it will change for a while due to circumstances beyond my control. Epany came back for our usual S N B meet up at the Manly Wharf after 4 months in the bush in South Australia, just as I was about to shelve the… Continue reading Knitting in the northern beaches
Fandom Knits
presented 002 Originally uploaded by hellebelle. I hate packing, so it’s no surprise that in between last minute cleaning / chucking things to clean / pack I ended up in front of the computer. I did manage to find a really cool ljgroup with a big list of fandom related knits. It doesn’t beat craftster… Continue reading Fandom Knits
