Adventures of a hand knitter

Knit it again, please

When knitting stock for the Craft Fairs, I generally knit the patterns that I like the look of. Sometimes, I will knit a pattern and not really enjoy the knitting of it, but as I have spent the time and the wool to knit it, I have to take it along to the […]

Soo Many Stitches

Although I love hand knitting, I do hate to knit in white. No matter how hard I try to keep my hands clean, I always manage to make white wool look dirty!

This jumper is knitted in Aran wool and is a size 34/36″ I have knitted […]

A Very Busy Month
