I recently finished my test for Elena of a design called Spirited. It is the adult version of Playful Citrus that I knit for T in the summer. I started this back in August, it took a month to knit the body and then another month to get back to it and knit the sleeves…. short sleeves at that. I guess life got in the way of things as it… Read More »Spirited | Celtic Cast On
Luvin The Mommyhood’s Summer Sweater KAL has come to an end. I didn’t manage to get the sleeves on my lace cardigan finished on time but I did complete this beauty! Woodstove Season by Alicia Plummer is due to be released mid October. I was super excited to test knit this one and even more excited with the finished product! This cosy cardigan knits up quickly on 5mm needles and… Read More »Woodstove Season | Celtic Cast On
Day 24 – Up Close A month of Craft Photos I started this pair of socks a few days ago. I wanted to try knitting socks two at a time to hopefully avoid my severe second sock syndrome. I cast on with some scraps of worsted weight yarn, I didn’t want to throw myself under the bus for my first try and they are working up quickly. I think I… Read More »Day 24 – Up Close | Celtic Cast On
Day 23 – Inspiration from clothes A month of craft photos I bought this dress last year. It was screaming at me to take it home. Reminds me of chevrony goodness. I have a cardigan pattern in mind that will be the perfect knit for it.
Day 22 – Contrasts A Month Of Craft Photos I’ve been thinking about these socks again… I love the contrast and am thinking I need to pull this back out of the WIP basket and keep going with it.
Day 21 – Craft Accompaniments A month of Craft Photos My evening crafting is usually done while I catch up on episode’s of Corrie. A good time for stockinette so I don’t miss any drama
Day 17 – Last FO you used A month of craft photos My Thorpe hat gets used daily when T and I take the dogs for a romp. We headed out this morning before the snow started.
Day 16 – Texture A month of Craft Photos A very neat texture I knit a few months ago.
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
