Not Socks: Mohair Scarf?

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Sun, 20 May 2007 15:24:51 +1200

I spent the evening planning my bus route, checking maps, plotting a mission out west (West Auckland, that is) to check out a couple of yarn shops. I woke early on my one day off, glad it was not raining, map in bag with knitting supplies and a b...

Exercising On The Inside

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Thu, 17 May 2007 15:30:39 +1200

Thinking of getting a treadmill? I've hired one, and it's been great. The convenience of a gym in your home, and a great resting place for the kitty cat. What more do you need?

Words On A Page

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Thu, 17 May 2007 11:00:17 +1200

I've been doing a lot of reading lately. In a way, it's actually been spurred on by my rediscovery of knitting - popping down to the library to check out knittng books, and scouring the catalogue online for other treasures, I've picked up the odd...

Soft Blue Cables

I really am terrible. I have once again set aside King Charles for another project. It's just that this 10 ply Naturally Sensation merino and angora blend has been calling to me since I picked it up half price from the basket outside Wild & Wooly...

Socks of Green Cables

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:00:59 +1200

These socks are for my Mum's birthday (next week) and are now in the post (and thus able to be revealed to the world). I got the idea for a simple sock with a cable down each side of the leg from this Debbie Bliss book I borrowed from the library...

Knitted Camera Case!

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Tue, 08 May 2007 17:27:50 +1200

I still have masses of my Paton's Inca after my quickly knit socks, and after taking my camera out of its very worn cloth cover to take progress photos, I decided to whip up a camera case with some of it. Not surpsingly, this was a quick knit too...

New Project: King Charles Brocade

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Tue, 08 May 2007 17:11:15 +1200

Now that More Sensational Knitted Socks has arrived, I've started on something a little more taxing than my last quickly knit pair. Started twice, actually. My first choice of yarn was a solid brown, unknown yarn liberated from my Mum's stash. A...

Finally Finished: Blue Naturals

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:30:00 +1200

I started the first sock in Cleckheaton Country Naturals while visting with my parents in Rotorua. I started it again just before leaving, and worked a good a good portion on the bus journey home. Until just past the ankle, I was working with a r...

I Miss Summer

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Fri, 04 May 2007 17:00:57 +1200

I really shouldn't complain, because it wasn't raining today, but hey, this is the internet, and the internet is for complaining! I'm cold, and I wish it were still summer! Sure, I could still go down to the beach and take off my footwear, but I'...
