Vanilla Socks - finished

Once my Scrappy Cowl was finished, I turned my attention once again to the Vanilla Socks that were patiently waiting in my Jane Austen project bag. The second sock progressed quickly but as I started to knit the foot, I started to feel that I might not have enough of... Continue reading

Treehouse Vintage Clutch

The Treehouse Vintage Clutch is another of my holiday projects that is now finished. Because it was completely hand-stitched, it was the perfect travel project. I especially enjoyed stitching the small pieces of fabric in place on the outside of the clutch, it was very relaxing. I came home with... Continue reading

New Year, finished projects

Happy New Year. 2025 here we come. How exciting is the start of a new year? To me, it always feels like an opportunity to reflect on the year that was and re-set my life for the year ahead. I’m not big on New Year resolutions but I am big... Continue reading

Merry Christmas

It's finally arrived, Christmas Eve. The last of my Yarn Advent Calendar has been opened, the fruit mince tarts are almost gone, and it's time to reflect on Christmas and what it means for me. One of the first songs I heard this morning, was Light of the World by... Continue reading

Vanilla Socks - the start

One of the good things (there are a lot of them) about belonging to a weekly Knitting Group, is that I get a lot of knitting done. As soon as I finish a project, my first thought is what am I going to do at Knitting Group this week? That... Continue reading

Treehouse Vintage Clutch - the start

One of the sites I follow on IG is Treehouse Textiles. I love their scrappy projects and recently purchased a kit to make the Treehouse Vintage Clutch. What I liked about it is the hand stitched details. I’m going away for a couple of weeks and thought it would be... Continue reading

Christmas Tree Runner

My Christmas Tree Runner was a quick and easy make. Once the tree blocks were completed, they were joined together and an outside border added. It was then prepared for quilting. I didn’t spend too much time wondering how to quilt it, choosing to machine quilt in the ditch of... Continue reading

Advent Knitting progress

As far as my Advent knitting projects go, there is a winner and loser. That is to say, one project is being knit with enthusiasm, while the other has been abandoned altogether. Firstly, the loser is.... Bakery Bears Mystery Advent KAL. Yes, I’m sorry to say that the Bakery Bears... Continue reading

Christmas Tree Runner

After making the Christmas Tree Skirt, I had quite a lot of Christmas themed fabric left-over. Initially I thought I would just leave it in my stash for next year, but one morning I was browsing through the Projects page on the Spotlight website and a table runner caught my... Continue reading

I mentioned the Nest Cowl was a quick knit, and after an afternoon at Knitting Group and another knitting session with some knitting friends, my cowl was well on the road to being finished. Then literally only a few days later, it was finished. Isn’t it great? Hope my sister... Continue reading

Advent Knitting

I’ve secretly always wanted a Yarn Advent Calendar but to be honest, most are expensive, and the mystery factor bothers me a bit. Also, I think you receive quite a bit of yarn and I’m not keen on adding to my stash. I once read a blog post by Helen... Continue reading

Merry and Bright - finished

For my latest Christmas project bag, Merry and Bright, I initially thought of making a drawstring bag but my Christmas bag for last year, Joy to the World, is a drawstring bag so this time I’m making a zippered bag. For the stitchery on the front, I highlighted it with... Continue reading

Merry and Bright - the start

For quite a few years now, I’ve made myself a Christmas Project Bag for all the knitting and sometimes sewing, that I plan to do over the holiday period. This year I hadn’t intended making one because I planned to use the Alphabet Angel bag but then I purchased some... Continue reading

For my latest knitting project, I’m taking a break from sock knitting and am making a cowl which will be a Christmas gift. My inspiration was the yarn I had left-over from knitting the Jane’s Mitts as part of the Summer of Stitching with the Bakery Bears. Tin Can Knits... Continue reading

Christmas Tree Skirt - the finish

There was a lot more involved in making the Christmas Tree Skirt than I had anticipated. When I contemplated making one I thought it would be a simple thing that I whipped up in no time. Although, the pattern was quite easy (once I mastered the cutting out of the... Continue reading

Beachcomber Socks

Remember the Beachcomber Socks I was knitting for my daughter-in-law Sarah? They had a rocky start with three cast-on attempts before they were underway but it was plain sailing after that (except for picking up the stitches for the heel gusset) and the first sock was finished – ends woven...

Christmas Tree Skirt - the start

Last Christmas, when I helped my son and his family decorate their Christmas tree, we all decided that the tree would look better if it had a ‘skirt’ around the bottom to cover the stand. I promised that I would make one for the following year - which is now.... Continue reading

Incantation Socks

As predicted, I didn’t finish both Incantation Socks for the Sockoween KAL with the Bakery Bears, before the end of October, but I did finish one sock. Even though I hadn’t woven in the ends or blocked it, it still looked good. I was also well-advanced on the second sock... Continue reading

Not a Granny Blanket

For the last couple of weeks I’ve stuck to my plan to keep my Not a Granny Blanket as my weekend project and as a result it is now finished. As previously mentioned, I wasn't enjoying working on it, so to see it finished is a relief. The finished blanket... Continue reading

Little Angel Bag & Christmas Magic Bag

What did I decide to do with the cross-stitch design for my Little Angel Bag? I abandoned the idea of the pocket and decided to simply sew her to the front of the bag. Then it was time for the handles, and zip and tah-dah, my bag is finished ready... Continue reading

Sock Progress and a new book

I can’t believe it, but I’ve been keeping up with the Sockoween KAL with The Bakery Bears. But, of course, it’s only the first sock and I’m honest enough to know that it’s highly unlikely that I will finish both socks before the end of the month. I knew that... Continue reading

Little Angel Bag

Remember my cross-stitch Alphabet Angel and my intention of making it into a project bag? Well, it’s done! I spent a little time thinking about what style of bag would suit my little angel, and after lots of mind changing, I remembered a Christmas version of my pattern, Knitting &... Continue reading

The God drenched mind

One of my favourite characters in the story of the Israelites crossing into Canaan, is Caleb. You may recall that when Moses sent out twelve spies into Canaan to see if the Israelites could possess it, only Caleb and Joshua believed that they could go in and possess the land.... Continue reading

More cross-stitch

As soon as I finished my cross-stitch Alphabet Angel, I started to plan my next cross-stitch project. Last year I made my grandchildren a patchwork Advent Calendar and it was so much fun that I thought I needed one for myself. But, instead of patchwork I’m going to make mine... Continue reading
