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 [...]

[Meg] Mmmm!
January 31, 2009 – 8:11 pm
First stash purchases of 2009! The first three are Shelridge Farm’s Soft Touch Ultra in Robin’s Egg (1), Apple (2) and Cornflower (1), purchased from the lovely Alice at Socktopus with a gift voucher I got for Hogswatch (yay!). The final one is Artesano’s Alpaca in Maroon (2), which I purchased at iKnits, partly as [...]
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 [...]
Way of Life Stole [jam]
October 9, 2008 – 2:59 pm
Way of Life Stole Originally uploaded by jamjarring. Current project, a mystery knit along from a pattern by Knitting Delight, currently available for free from the yahoogroup or here for the ravelry. The pattern is nicely charted, clear to read and no mistakes. It’s knit sideways so casting on is a little harsh. I’m managing [...]
Mummu’s blanket, almost done. [Jam]
April 8, 2008 – 1:03 pm
So between us, mum and I have almost finished the blanket. Things that I discovered: Mum and I pick up stitches differently. It’s easy to get turned around when something is garter stitch. Any time you start making something as a present, between the time it takes you to buy the wall and knit juuuuust [...]
Blanket for Mummu (or wow, I’m bad at updating)
February 18, 2008 – 4:57 pm
Ravelry makes me lazy. I’m over here for anyone who’s curious. So my current projects are herringbone socks (which look like a pretty good ayof using up the odds and ends of sock wool) and a blanket my mum and I are doing for my grandmother. Since we don’t live together, we needed a pattern [...]
WIP: Monkey(s)
December 31, 2007 – 10:34 pm
I hope you all had a fabulous festive break. I certainly did! I spent most of it curled up in an armchair, trapped under a cat at my parents house Oop North. It was was quite blissful and filled with knitting. My mother loved the Jaywalkers in Jitterbug Lagoon I knitted for her present and [...]

November 8, 2007 – 8:12 pm
Uh, I realise that the last time I posted I made dire predictions about my future involving becoming tangled up in yarn. These predictions didn’t entirely come true but I fell silent and victim to a series of hilarious events that are commonly known as “flat hunting”, “packing” “moving house” and “oh god, unpacking.” Anyway, [...]
Mmm, yarn purchases
March 31, 2007 – 4:09 pm
I have been a tiny bit trigger happy in regards to yarn purchases recently. My co-blogger has been tutting at me a lot but it was all totally worth it when all my recent purchases arrived in one fell swoop and made a moderately awful week so much better. There’s just something special about getting [...]
WIP: Top Down Cardi
March 4, 2007 – 11:28 pm
The fruits of a lazy Sunday afternoon. I have done very little today, other than cook (blueberry pancakes, artichoke and garlic butter), cast on on Cosmicpluto‘s easy top down raglan cardi and knit my way through a rewatching of American Beauty and Garden State (two films that I think share a theme; discovery and change.)
