Ok so I'm not actually whistling, but I've accomplished so much today that I feel like I could! I fixed the mistake from the back of the four colour sweater (the lifeline worked a treat!) so here's the back ready to be sewn.I also finished the front

Well in between house-cleaning and grocery shopping I still found time to post to my blog. Yay! I have two finished scarfs I need to take pictures of, then I'll post the details here as I do with all my finished projects. As for the four colour sweat

I am going to be the only happy person in Dublin today.  Woke up this morning and looked out the window to see SNOW on the ground!! It's been 5 years since I've seen snow on the ground and I think it's so beautiful.  It's not a lot of snow mind you

Went into my LYS yesterday looking for stitch holders. Of course, I'd forgotten they had a Tivoli Wools representative there to answer questions etc...plus they were having all Tivoli wools at 10% off. Stitch holder? What's that!! Seriously, I ended

I'm still at home having been diagnosed with a sinus and chest infection.  Well, I did drag myself into work today but my boss sent me right to the docs and then back home.  So I've been sleeping and surfing and now I'm about to go knitting! I've l

The only good thing about being sick is, you get to stay home and knit.  Man I hate being sick though, sore head, tired eyes, stuffed nose (red and sore too..and running), scratchy throat, wheezy chest.  Someone put me out of my misery! Ok, now for

Woke up this morning (Valentine's) to find a big basket by the bed.  In it was a bottle of champagne, a box of Roses (chocolates) and a cute little teddy bear dressed up as Cupid holding a heart that says 'Love Ya'.  Awww, isn't my husband sweet? I

I seem to be cursed with the Cardigan in Tivoli Serene.  So it's going on the back burner...again....while I knit up some other stuff.  The dang sleeves took a long time to figure out from the pattern, and then when I did figure it out (thanks Amy!

1.  You get told off for staring at people when all you're really doing is trying to figure out the pattern of their scarf/jumper/cardigan etc.2. You use your work to cover up the pattern you're reading when you are supposed to be working. 3. You ca

This might just be my longest post ever but boy do I have a lot to say! I started my day in a lovely way, when I woke up my husband brought me breakfast in bed.  He'd made his famous marmalade toast (not just marmalade spread on toast mind you!) wit

Today is a busy day for me! But I'm really excited as I have loads of knitting stuff to do! My first stop is a used bookstore to pick up a book I saw with a bunch of knitting stitches.  At 10 euros it's a pretty good buy.  Then I'm off to Bray (it'

So I admit I knit in public (K.I.P). I'm not ashamed and I rather enjoy people talking to me about it.  Breaks the ice so to speak. I was in class last night, and during the break was knitting away at my 'Posh Scarf' that a colleague is going to buy

I finally finished my baby blanket!! Knitted all borders, sewn them up and woven the ends in.  All I need to do now is block. Think I could find a place to buy pins?! See I only finished the blanket on Sunday evening, and no shops were open to buy s
