Thorfinn is a sock recipe that I conjured up for myself. It was intended as ferry knitting and has been on the needles for a very long time indeed. It went to town a couple of times, but not very often.
I grafted the toe just on the stroke of midnight. Now all I have to do is to knit the second one and I’ll have one more ball of wool for the blankie…

Here’s where the blankie was up to last night: Six squares knitted in, and some of the ends tidied up. Also, three more squares for the foundation row…

Who would ever have thought that knitting dinky squares would be so much fun and so absorbing? Not me! Anyway, I am totally besotted by my blankie and my mind was clearly working on it overnight as I woke up full of enthusiasm and ideas. I need more colours! One way that this can be [...]

The ferry blanket is now a live Ravelry project – I expect it will do much hibernating over the coming months. I am just two squares into this project so far. One of the great things about knitting is that it leaves room for thought. Sometimes simple knitting is a good thing to do in [...]

Whoops-a-daisy – life suddenly turned upside down! I did not venture forth to Kirkwall on Tuesday – I went to a business start up advice meeting instead. Now I find myself involved in partnership discussions and mapping out some knitting designs… It is very early days, and there is no knowing how matters will pan [...]

Just popping up to wave merrily and confirm that I’m not so very far away. Lots of stuff has been happening – I’ve had a commission to work on, and Mr L keeps throwing me out of his office in order to conduct telephone conferences, and there’s been lots of DIY stuff and a holiday [...]

I collected Mr L from the airfield yesterday morning – the poor man looked whacked, but I let him drive us home anyway. He’d mentioned on the phone how hard he was finding it, to not be in control of anything while he was travelling. So, I gave him control. We unpacked and made coffee, [...]

The launch do went exceptionally well last night. I feared that few people would attend but we had a full room. The cheese and wine went down well and compliments were received regarding my dips (Cream Cheese and Spring Onion; Curry; Cheese and Mustard; Blue Cheese and Mushroom) – a second career there, maybe. We [...]

Mr L rang last night. He said he was sitting on Preston station. It wasn’t yet 10pm. How come? He was supposed to be killing time in Manc, where there would be plenty to do. “Manc was horribly depressing: too many people, and full of drunks. So I thought I’d get the train to Preston [...]

Who knows where the time goes? Not I. There was so much planned, but so little of it happening as other things continue to get in the way. Feeling highly frustrated about it all this week. Yesterday was a particularly bad day and grumpiness was in evidence by tea-time. Last night was the christening of [...]
