About a year ago I learnt to crochet and turned into a lean, mean granny square making machine but then they lurked, quietly in a bag with possible plans to turn them into a lap blanket that never quite happened. Then, a coworker at my old job announced she was pregnant. I pulled them and [...]

Buttercup bag (or: Look, Ma! I gone sewed something!)
February 20, 2011 – 12:01 pm
Wheeee! One finished Buttercup bag from Made by Rae. It took me awhile – I cut the fabric out ages ago and then failed to do anything with it/succumbed to the Sewing machine Fear – but I decided that I needed to sew it up, so I’ve been working on it slowly over the last [...]
Stashbusting and other such stories
January 24, 2010 – 10:23 pm
I am knitting from my stash this year. After hauling out my yarn boxes and sorting through them, so I could add photos of the ones I didn’t have to my Rav stash, I came to the realisation that I Must Knit The Stash before, well, it knits me. So there we are, the main [...]
Another addition of “Remember that knitting blog you have”? Version: Lady Jane Mystery KAL
April 13, 2009 – 12:32 am
Another Knitting Delight mystery KAL done! W00t! Done several weeks ago, and yes, I still am just that bad at updating. I have a hat done, I have two sets of fingerless gloves made and sent out, I have two sets of socks and a cardigan on the needles, I have new needles and new [...]
[Meg] New Year, New knitulations
January 18, 2009 – 11:45 am
So, it’s over halfway through January and I am on a finishing things roll (hold the mayo). For one thing, as of last Wednesday I am done with my MSc. thesis. Yup, one hundred and eighty five pages on online communities and social bookmarking was printed out twice and handed in, two days before the [...]
The Earthling’s New Hat [jam]
December 6, 2008 – 9:17 pm
The Earthling’s New Hat Originally uploaded by TFV. Finally got around to writing up the pattern (In the sidebar or Here. The pattern works pretty well, I think. There’s lots of stretch and the bias from the decreases/increases means that it stays in place, but isn’t tight at all, so there should be some room [...]
Way of Life Stole [jam]
December 2, 2008 – 6:23 pm
knitting 034 Originally uploaded by jamjarring. Finished! Done, and finished in good time (week of the final clue). I think this way of working, to sectional deadline, is very helpful for me in terms of getting things done. It was possible to catch up on a lazy week in the next week, and do that [...]
Cthuhlu wants a hug [jam]
October 26, 2008 – 10:38 am
cthulu completed Originally uploaded by jamjarring. Cthulhu is a bold little beast. Brash, almost. You can’t see his wings so well in this picture, but they’re pretty neat in a straggly, eldergod kind of way. Crcoheted using sock yarn and a 1.25mm hook, rather thanthe yarn they suggest. This picture doesn’t show it so well, [...]
The Daleks of procrastination, I mean, productivity… [Meg]
October 18, 2008 – 11:06 pm
I am currently at home to the Daleks of procrastination [TM The Hand-Knitted Pirate] in regards to my MSc. Thesis (Ahaha. Ahaha. AHAHAHAHAohgods), which would explain why my Ravelry queue has been reorganised so that the projects I need to knit soon and that I have the yarn for are at the top, my stash [...]
Nutkin wristwarmers [jam]
October 7, 2008 – 9:52 pm
extrasharp Originally uploaded by jamjarring. This image has been severely tweaked in an attempt to make the pattern clearer. It looks fine in real life, but not so much on picture with this yarn. In person, the pattern is more 3D, it’s easier to see the nice bias, the wool is lovely autumnal shades… in [...]
