Confession sock manic….


Especially nice if you are out and about or at a knitting club…


Standing in a marketplace while my little sister and her friend are shopping – hmmm surely I have no addiction to knitting…

Long gloves for my lovely friend Nevin

Me and my favourite hat in Kew


I have since lost the hat, and am in the process of knitting a similar one for the winter….not really the seasons for hats right now

Summer of 2006 – hope 2007 will be as nice...


In my mothers garden.


This tea warmer is inspired by my father-in-law who researches in brains……

My first attempt at a Nordic sweater




This sweater is my first attempt at a Nordic sweater – most of the patterns are from an old Norwegian knitting book my father-in-law has kindly given me and the pattern on the body is from an old Swedish pattern.

This is my first, but surly not the last, attempt at a Norwegian inspired sweater.

At that time it took me great effort to make the red shoes look nice - too many stitches between the dancing feet, but is my small way of paying respect to all the ladies who were wore the red shoes literally or in spirit.
