I have really been enjoying knitting blankies this year. I love mindless knitting, no increase or decrease counting, just good plain old knitting. Great for long trips by car, plane and of course in front of the television. My latest addition is a knitted using garter stitch. Knitting two rows in one colour then change to […]
This week my youngest son asked me to knit him a beanie/slouchy. I went on to Ravelry and found this free pattern RAITULI by Marja Suomela. I’m now buzy knitting an I-cord border onto a blanket I have been knitting . It’s getting cold on this, the south side of the world. Happy knitting. Love […]

I found this amazing “Rams and Yowes” pattern on “Ravelry” towards the beginning of 2014. The pattern is written and knitted by a Katie Davies from “Katie Davies Designs” She has the most amazing story. She lives in Scotland and is in her late 30’s. In 2010, she suffered a serious stroke. Apparently knitting is […]
At last I’m back. Thanks for all your lovely comments. The wedding was amazing and exhausting!
