I bought it on amazon.co.uk and I'm satisfied. Good number of menswear patterns, for once I'm tempted to say, but that is my experience with Rowan. Some interesting accessory patterns too. Very nice fairisle throw by Martin Storey... So, this... Continue reading

After some 11 years with the Rowan Knitting Magazine I've decided not to renew my membership. Simply too much hassle the last time. They'd sent the magazines and the gift to my old address even though I'd changed delivery to... Continue reading

If you need some colour in your life,

do like I did and dye some yarn. I had some tapestry-weight embroidery wool lying around doing nothing, 25 skeins ecru all-in-all. So a trip through my library into Jenny Dean's 'Wild Color', my electric canning pot, some Quebracho Red... Continue reading

It's a crewel, crewel world.

Every year I try to learn a new craft. So again this year. I wanted something that had some overlap with my previous crafts, knitting, weaving, spinning, bookbinding. So it would probably be something from within the textile craft sphere.... Continue reading

The end of it all. Dear all, I just cancelled the payment section of this blog. There are several reasons, most important of all: I don't post here as much as I used to. In fact, I barely post at... Continue reading

Hej K.M., thank you for your comment. This one was very official, even had get my statement read aloud to me. Which was actually rather awkward as I hate being the focus of attention in such situations. I love being front-and-centre with stuff I do well, like knitting or spinning. I demand it from my pupils when I teach. But here, it felt wrong. Ah well, it's done now.

Been a bit quiet again lately, this time for a reason. I'm trained as an engineer, so under Danish law I'm allowed to teach at technical high schools. However, within two years of employment I have to start the so-called... Continue reading

I'm finally learning to recognize some of all those small signs my subconscious leaves when I'm getting stressed. Several of them right now, as there's a lot on my plate. So I'll still be posting, but with a bit more... Continue reading
