I have finished the lightsabre handles. I am now two rows into the ‘may the force be with you’ bit. So far it’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be. This is a Good Thing. It requires a lot of attention – this is not one that can occupy your idle [...]

Plastic knitting needles are VILE. You don’t like them. You like metal. The £1.75 you spent on crappy needles could have been put to better use…like, halfway to a decent set of needles. Next time, no amount of impatience to start a project is going to tempt you to buy something you don’t like. (The [...]

Silk for a clapotis I can’t wait to start knitting with this. It’s so soft and beautiful and I think it’s going to make a great clapotis. I have ordered some more in a Red-Pink-Salmon multi for one for my mother.

Basketweave scarf This has been put on hold until Christmas is over. It’s in a microfibre yarn and is luxuriously soft. Looking back, I think I would have preferred it to be skinny rectangles rather than squares.

The Ravenclaw scarf is officially On The Needles. It’s the first time I’m using ciruclar needles and it’s going well, the bastard first row nonwithstanding.
