http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com Knitting and all that... Wed, 06 Sep 2006 11:59:45 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en so my books arrived yesterday and I’m really pleased with them - loads more things I want to knit!! But then I realised that one of the patterns I really wanted wasn’t in this book but the Stitch and Bitch Nation book. Suppose I might have to buy ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2006/09/06/ugh/ finished Branching Out. I actually really enjoyed doing this once I got past the first stage as it just seemed so far away from finishing. After I must have done about 8 repeats or so it really seemed to be coming along really well and so the ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2006/08/31/finished/ I dunno how I did it, but I “accidentally” managed to buy myself some knitting books from Amazon yesterday!! So I now have : Stitch n Bitch Stitch n Bitch Design Journal and The Happy Hooker all coming. And of course next I will need to get some crochet hooks as I don’t ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2006/08/31/oops/ not of projects really, although I am pretty rubbish at actually finishing stuff too, but at making up seams and finishing them off nicely. I’ve knit a really nice simple baby cardi for a friend and really want to finish it nice but it’s looking crap. So I’ve ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2006/08/28/worlds-worst-finisher/ hehehe - I love these!! and in action Alex wants some as she keeps nicking mine. I probably have enough yarn left to do her a pair of glove size ones. First attempt at knitting with dpns too - Very proud of myself!! Will wear them out tonight and ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2006/08/23/we-have-arm-socks/ lol, can’t believe it was a year ago I started this blog! My obsessions can be so fickle! So. What have I done? Not a lot to be honest. But I do have a couple of things to update. I started the minisweater last year and was really ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2006/08/23/one-year-on/ Think I’ve un-moderated the comments. Sorry bout that, didn’t realise it did that by default! Started my minisweater the other day which is coming along nicely. Probably about half done although last night I noticed I’d made a mistake on about the 9th row! Argh. Although it’s ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2005/08/20/comments/ The other day I went to Coldspring Mill near Bradford and as a result the yarn stash has increased quite a bit! Picked up some unlabelled Debbie Bliss wool on cones. Only small amounts though, but I’m hoping to make a minisweater with them both. That’s the black and blue big ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2005/08/19/shopping/ This scarf was made with Colinette Fandango yarn which is a cotton chenille. Is lovely wool, but I was getting fed up of the needles I had. Really could use Addi circulars for everything I think! I love how it turned out, and I’m even thinking about ... http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2005/08/19/loopy-scarf/ Recently discovered knitting again due to some of my friends doing it and also the purchase last year of some lovely Colinette wool for a hat. Since then I’ve had a few different projects on the go which I’ll blog here http://kirstyknits.blogsome.com/2005/08/19/knitting/
