I am enjoying my current project so much I just skipped the whole getting stuck on Sleeve Island thing, just a few more rounds of ribbing and both sleeves are completed, with only the neckline left to do. I’m a little bit gutted as I won’t be able to show off my beautiful progress at…

With the summer holiday, and with a last minute cancellation of our virtual in September, it really seems like ages since I met up with you all. Tonight is the night! Knitting season is definitely here, the cold nip in the air has brought on a severe case of castonitis – I’m literarily casting on…

You know, when you are planning for a new project in anticipation, that feeling. Who would have thought that a couple of needles and a string of thread can give so much joy – without actually producing anything, because I am swatching… and what I have to show for it is a pile of swatches.…

Oh I’m having one of those days where there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day – a proper jig saw puzzle of activities, covering business life as much as every day family obligations. I’ll be running around covering all my bases, hopefully landing on my sofa because tonight I plan to tune…

This is me now, I’m so close, I’m actually considering leaving George at the shop by himself so…

Like seriously! Where did this morning disappear to? I came in with a plan, and now half a day later it doesn’t seems to have moved at all. My favourite word for this feeling is discombobulated. Discombobulate kind of sounds like you feel when you’re disoriented: bouncing around in several directions at once – which…

With the last virtual before Christmas cancelled, it feels like we haven’t seen each other in like ‘forever’. Admittedly, running a yarn shop at that time of year is incredibly stressful, a lot of fun, but very hectic. BUT then comes calm and ease, when you finally find yourself on the sofa with days off…
