I haven’t taken any photographs or blocked it yet or anything like that – uhem – but I finished working the cardigan yesterday.
It’s looking really nice. However, I appear to have an adequate amount of yarn left to do…another one. But the second one I need to do has to be in a different colour [...]

Since I got an iPhone, and started buying stuff from iTunes from it, I confuse the hell out of iTunes, synching to the iPod classic and stuff. As a result, whilst playing the Purchased Playlist because I bought a load of new stuff during the week, the iPod got far enough down the list to [...]

So I am in the middle of making a cardigan designed by Doris Chan. I sort of fantasise about being able to make a living from creating crochet designs but I have to be realistic. There’s probably less money in it than there is in sports photography and we know where I stand on that. [...]

on the plus side, the time I put into cleaning the gas fire this morning has resulted in a functioning gas fire. I am very happy about this as the living room is now less than subArctic.
On the plus side, i discovered I’ve got great, great neighbours. The copper pipe for the garden tap burst [...]

Learn to Crochet books on Amazon.com.
I  got Amazon.com vouchers for Christmas this year. I have decided to use them on American books I can’t get in Ireland or on amazon.co.uk. I cannot use the vouchers on amazon.co.uk, you see.
So I figured, let’s use the opportunity. I have a couple of main interests, namely 1) kitesurfing [...]

I’ve spent the last 2 and a half hours doing something which turned out to be a bit more physically challenging than I thought it would be. I spent the last two hours weaving old climbing rope into something that resembles rope a bit less.
I started with this, donated by Eamon (thanks Eamon)

and worked my [...]

So. To the left of me, the broomstick lace scarf that hasn’t enough yarn to be a scarf but which is going to be beautiful and which I will wind up ordering another colour for at some stage. To the right of me, the ripple scarf which is beautiful but terribly slow work altogether.
In front [...]

Yeah. Sorry. I’ll do a technerd piece in a little while. For now, it’s needles all the way.
Mondays suck. This one in particular. It was bloody cold getting up this morning; I was tired because I did Dublin/Cork/Dublin twice in just about 24 hours, and I was later back than I intended to be, and [...]

It’s 10.30pm. Oops.

So I made this with my very own lillywhites, so far. Work in progress. Not currently frogged, nowhere close to being finished. The plan is for it to be a scarf. The reality is that I may run out of yarn rather sooner than expected as the amount used and the size of [...]

I got the yarn today as well. Knitting and Stitching show: much walking around the RDS. much feeling shattered by 2pm. How did I ever manage to work a waitress shift.
Bought one set of cardigan patterns which, if I am honest, there is no chance I’ll touch until I finish the cardigan that I recently [...]
