The Knitting Olympics – Disaster

My knitting has all gone horribly wrong – the cables were a complete mess. I’ve ripped the whole thing and I shall start again. This time round I’m going to use bamboo needles and I’m just going to knit a stocking stitch sock – the wool is so slippery I think anything else is beyond [...]

Scarf Update

I’ve been working away on Miss A’s scarf. The pattern in the yarn is quite extraordinary and unexpected.
The yarn is Panda Magnum (8ply) and the pattern is from here.
I bought a copy of The Knitter magazine – it is beautiful, high production values and lovely (although I imagine tricky) patterns.
I’ve decided to try this one [...]
