In the last two weeks of my pregnancy, a haze of knitting obsessiveness descended upon me. I couldn’t put down my needles for a day. Heck, I couldn’t put down my needles for an hour. As far as a nesting instinct goes, I think it’s a pretty good one. Sure, my fridge was filthy, but … Continue reading For the love of knit

Garden moodboard: May
No brain power for much chat today, with a one-week-old newborn, but I did manage to pop out into the garden yesterday morning to gather some flowers for my May moodboard… (For once) I’ll just let the photos do the talking…. This marks a full year since I started taking these photos. Interesting … Continue reading Garden moodboard: May
Last Sunday evening
...was mostly about bringing this little bundle into the world: Yes, sproglet two has arrived! He's adorable, we're all shattered and in a little haze. Sproglet one is very proud of his "yittel bruder"... Things may be a bit quiet over on the blog for a while, but I'll be back soon. Sabrina xx
A boy’s favourite things
I’m the oldest of four siblings, all born within six years of each other. (Looking back now, with the experience of having my own family, I wonder how on earth my Mum coped without having a serious breakdown, or running off with a Greek waiter at least once in my childhood. But, to the best … Continue reading A boy’s favourite things
The horror
I can’t be the only knitter who absolutely hates sewing in all the yarn once the project is finished. Sometimes, it can take me as long as it did to knit the entire thing to actually get around to binding in all the loose ends. So, if you share this aversion with me, pity me … Continue reading The horror
Outside
It's been a gloriously sunny few days here in London, but I've been rather too gone in pig to venture far out of the front door. Instead, afternoons have been spent lazing in the garden.* There's a little spot where I like to sit on a tiny brick wall underneath my lovely acer tree. I … Continue reading Outside
A finished baby blanket
As I mentioned in my last post, I managed to summon up a burst of knitting energy recently and finish off the blanket that I started about three months ago for the impending new arrival (aka sproglet mi). After sewing in all the ends (oh, such a tedious process, I always put it off and … Continue reading A finished baby blanket
Homemade baby presents; a quandary
Can you give my weary brain a little help this fine spring morning? I'm having a quandary about what to make for the imminent arrival of my future niecephew (tbc) and could use some advice... When my sister had her first baby, last summer, I put together a lovely little box full of homemade goodies: … Continue reading Homemade baby presents; a quandary
Garden moodboard: April
After nearly a year of photographing these monthly garden moodboards, I've come to realise that getting the main shot is a little like taking a group family photo. You line everyone up neatly, check they're standing in a good position, look through the lens, go back to the group, move someone a little, ask someone … Continue reading Garden moodboard: April
Spring cheer
Just popping in quickly this morning as I realise I have been a little bit moany and gloomy in my last few posts and definitely lacking in spring cheer. So just to say, I have finally been catching up on a bit of sleep (hurrah) as my mother-in-law has been staying for a few days … Continue reading Spring cheer
