Joining Ginny for her weekly Yarn Along ~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. This week I’m listening… Read More »Yarn Along 18 | Celtic Cast On
Day 14 – Where I craft A Month of Craft Photos I’d like to say I use my little crafty corner upstairs by my stash to create in but it’s right outside T’s room and it would also mean the dogs would want to be up there with me too. So instead when I craft, T is napping, the dogs are napping and I am at peace and can do… Read More »Day 14 – Where I craft | Celtic Cast On
Day 15 – A New Skill A Month of Craft Photos We are going back to Ireland next month to visit my grandparents again. My Nanny picked up crochet in the past few years, she can granny but I don’t think she knows about rippling. I thought it would be neat if I could show her how while we are there…. that is if I can show myself! Here goes… Read More »Day 15 – A New Skill | Celtic Cast On
Day 11 – A WIP A Month Of Craft Photos I am keeping to my word and ploughing through I Heart Aran. Doing some seaming this weekend!
Day 9 – Your Hands A Month Of Craft Photo’s This one’s for Susan who wanted to see how I position my hands when I knit. It’s always interesting to me how people hold yarn and needles when they knit. My hands seem to mirror each other when I hold the needles with the exception of my index finger on my right hand that tension’s the yarn. My hands are… Read More »Day 9 – Your Hands | Celtic Cast On
Day 10 – Your Craft Bag A Month Of Craft Photos I’d like to say that I have a beautiful craft bag or basket to house my WIP’S in. While I do have some lovely baskets they do nothing to keep out the dog hair that floats around this house. I do have the cute owl bag for my small WIP’s that does have a zip but when it comes… Read More »Day 10 – Your Craft Bag | Celtic Cast On
We were supposed to get a big storm yesterday… everything was cancelled…. but our 10-15 cms of snow only amounted to a few inches in the end with lots of freezing rain. I was excited at the prospect of actually HAVING some snow this winter that didn’t end up getting washed away by rain the very next day but again luck wasn’t going to go my way. Freezing rain however… Read More »Sliding | Celtic Cast On
Thank you for all the great suggestions you left in the comments of the last yarn along. I’ve been checking things out adding to my GoodReads *to read* section and sourcing out some great audio books. I think I’m set for a while but I will definitely be putting the question out again when I’m ready for more. Joining Ginny this week for another Yarn Along. Reading : I recently… Read More »Yarn Along 15 | Celtic Cast On
You may remember a few months ago I test knit Courtenay for my sweet friend Preeti Well I ended up gifting Courtenay in a Yankee Swap we had for a christmas party with my knitting group. It’s always so nerve racking when you gift a knit like this hoping that the recipient who ends up with it will like it. Michelle liked it so much she traded for it!! There was of course… Read More »Courtenay Reworked | Celtic Cast On
This sweater is the epitome of comfy! Pattern:Classic Raglan Sweater by Jane Richmond Yarn:Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool in Nature’s Brown Mods: I did have to lengthen everything to fit my long torso but other than that the numbers worked out great for me. The Fisherman’s Wool was great to work with, I love a good, warm workhorse yarn and this one fit the bill perfectly. The colourway, Nature’s Brown is… Read More »Classic Raglan | Celtic Cast On
