I’ve joined a stashdown group with the wonderful Dublin knitters. First step – get a handle on how much stash you actually have. This is mine. It’s all logged and photographed and it turns out that I have a total of 68km. This is not an excessive stash. I’ve only been at it for 2 [...]

Fancy New Nappy Bag

Bag with front pocket flap

  I’m so proud of my new nappy bag, just have to show it off! I started this one before Christmas and it’s sat there, mostly done, while I tried to figure out how to finish it.

While surfing last night I came across a gorgeous crochet cuff pattern in broomstick lace. Only problem – I had no idea how to do that. A quick trip to YouTube soon had me up and running and ignoring the fact that it was 11:30 at night I managed to get half the cuff done [...]
