After I wrote the last post about this blanket I finished the first part of the CAL. And then moved on the the next part. I have now finished Part 2. I would have been further on with part three if I hadn’t decided to go back to working on the Lost Garden blanket. I… Read More Sacred Space blanket to date
After squaring the circle I had two decorative bands to complete before the final flowery edging. This was the time when I needed most to experiment. For the first, inner band, I knew I needed some more cream for the central part but it was surrounded to banks of front and back post stitches and… Read More Lost Garden – penultimate post
The name of the design for this Crochet-along that I have decided to join is “Sacred Space”. For me the most Sacred Space of all is the natural world that surrounds us and I think you will find this reflected in my choices and treatment. As I showed you before I started out with these… Read More Sacred Space blanket CAL!!
You may remember that I told you that I was so upset about not being able to get his part of my blanket to look correct because the yarn was too thin, that I actually decided to contact Stylecraft to complain. Having had to undo a whole round and a half made it particularly painful.… Read More Stylecraft do care about Quality and Customers! (and another blanket?)
As you can see this month has been dominated by my making of the Lost Garden blanket. This doesn’t mean that no knitting has been done but I am finding that knitting raglan sleeves can seem interminable, especially when only done when in company, so have yet to finish the garment.I have shared my progress… Read More Monthly Montage – July
When I finished my French Market Bag I weighed it and realised that I did not have enough yarn left to make another. However, again by weight, I could see that I should have enough yarn to make another bag like this. [I made this just over a year ago and you can see more… Read More Another String Bag
Last week I worked on completing the four corners ready to start doing the outer square rounds. It was good to have short rows to work instead of long rounds but of course that meant lots of end to finish later. Originally I had envisaged completing each corner in turn but I realised that it… Read More Lost Garden blanket – corners finished
I have done very little of my other projects. However I have spent a great deal of time with the blanket. This is partly because I have been having another energy dip caused, perhaps, by having visitors or the hot weather. So I have decided that I need to try rest as a cure. Last… Read More Lost Garden blanket – ready for the corners
I have finally finished the bag I was making. The one from some unspecified yarn that I had been given and this pattern – https://www.twoofwands.com/blog/french-market-bag?rq=market Using my long mirror I was able to take a few photographs of how the bag will be in use. You can carry it over your shoulder. It will be… Read More French Market Bag finished
In June there was knitting, crochet and photography. No loaves of bread though. Not to say I am not continuing to make such things. For knitting: it was a tutorial on my method of doing kitchener stitch, the cardigan I am knitting in 4 ply and a baby cardigan I was finally able to complete.… Read More Monthly Montage – June
