Granny Squares and tea
May 19, 2010 – 1:59 pm
Granny Squares and tea, originally uploaded by halcyonday. Look, crochet! I have achieved slight dominion over that damn hook, thanks to the lovely ladies at Make Do Mend, whose class at the Gallery Cafe in Bethnal Green last week got me over the hump of frustration. I’m still working on edges as if I’m not [...]
Knitting and Crochet week!
April 27, 2010 – 12:30 pm
Oops! I meant to start the knitting and crochet week yesterday, along with everyone else but, yeah, that clearly didn’t happen. But never mind, I shall combine today and yesterday’s topic into one! How and when did you begin knitting/crocheting? was it a skill passed down through generations of your family, or something you learned [...]
Moses supposes his toes are roses
April 5, 2010 – 9:07 pm
Work and my life got really busy for a while there and updating this here blog kind of fell off the radar for a bit. But it’s spring and I’ve spent the bank holiday weekend starting a huge organisation of my stuffs, including going to Ikea with my other half and throwing a lot of [...]
Pearl and Feather
January 25, 2010 – 11:17 pm
I have a fairly ridiculous collection of beads and bits and bobs and I have decided that this year, aside from knitting my stash, I also need to sit down and sort through my collection, work out what I am going to use and what I’m not and then actually do something with them. So, [...]
FO: Jaded [Meg]

SMSKAL: Jaded, originally uploaded by halcyonday. The Socktopus Mystery shawl is complete! I did end up casting on again on bigger needles, 6mm this time and that plus the DK-y weight of the yarn means my shawl is huuuuge. But still, lovely!
[Meg] Mystery Shawl – Socktopus edition
July 26, 2009 – 3:13 pm
I’ve joined the knit-a-long for Alice from Socktopus’ Mystery Shawl [Rav Link] and up there you can see clue one, in its completed state. I’m knitting mine in Socks that Rock (Heavyweight) in Jaded and I’m loving both the yarn and the pattern. Although, really, I think I should have knitted the first clue on [...]
Milkweed
July 24, 2009 – 2:03 pm
Milkweed, originally uploaded by halcyonday. I was on holiday in sunny Cornwall recently and aside from the walking and the constant eating (om nom nom, clotted cream!), I got quite a bit of knitting done. Chiefly, I finished off CosmicPluto’s Milkweed shawl. It’s an absolutely lovely pattern to knit – I had one or two [...]
[Meg] Sprung
June 14, 2009 – 4:55 pm
Now that I’m done with academia and work has settled down and the summer actually feels like it’s actually going to arrive, we’ve been spending a lot of time in what passes for the garden – we do actually have bed space as well but it’s still a bit of a mess until we finish [...]
Lace and Twirl
May 26, 2009 – 10:21 pm
Cheshire Cat Stole, originally uploaded by halcyonday. Oh, oh dearie me. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Er. I moved flat (again, still sharing with Jam), changed jobs (still a librarian but now out of the legal sector) and graduated (Master of Science, baby! Wooooo!) and blogging kind of fell to the wayside for a bit. [...]
