There has not been time to do anything special for today's supplement and, as I am devoting most of my attention today to the hero returned, it is unlikely that a real stroll with the camera will take place. There's no time to surf around and make new discoveries to share with you, so here's …
Yarny goodness
Today is Day 7 of Knit/Crochet Blog week and today's prompt is: There’s one love that we all share: yarn. Blog about a particular yarn you have used in the past or own in your stash, or perhaps one that you covet from afar. If it is a yarn you have used you could show the project that you used it for, perhaps writing a mini ‘review’. Perhaps, instead, you pine for the feel of the almost mythical qiviut? You could explore and research the raw material and manufacturing process if you were feeling investigative. Previous blog posts have contained the immortal phrase "If I could only knit with one yarn for the remainder of my life, this would be it" (or words to that effect.) The way I see it then is, having already laid my cards on the table, I am constrained to claim that yarn for this post. Read on...
This week, down the wrong end of the telescope
It has been a funny old week. Far from having a whole week to myself to do with as I please (i.e. knit/felt/weave/walk/take photos etc.) I found myself tidying and cleaning for the largest part of the week and blogging for the next largest chunk of time. Both my fault, really.
A kindness, a demise, and a re-purposing
Today is Day 6 of Knit/Crochet Blog week and today's prompt is: Revisit a past F/O Bring the fortune and life of a past finished project up to the present. Document the current state and use of an object you have knitted or crocheted, whether it is the hat your sister wears to school almost every day, or a pair of socks you wore until they were full of hole. Or maybe that jumper that your did just didn’t like that much… May I confess that today's prompt has me thoroughly stumped? I really do not have any interesting stories to tell. Will a horror story do instead?
Second Weaving
For most of this week, I have been completely convinced of my inability to produce an FO post today but lo and behold... I reached Thursday afternoon, the trees cleared, and I finally saw the metaphorical wood. In other words, I whipped that craft room into proper order and had space in which to work. To be truthful, I do not suppose this really is a finished object; it is a finished weaving, but it has yet to become whatever it is destined to be.
Home comforts
Today is Day 5 of Knit/Crochet Blog week and today's prompt is: Location, Location, Location Where do you like to indulge in your craft? Is your favourite arm chair your little knitting cubby area, or do you prefer to ‘knit in public’? Do you like to crochet in the great outdoors, perhaps, or knit in the bath, or at the pub? I prefer to be at home rather than being anywhere else and so I naturally do the majority of my knitting at home...
