Knitting

Mo’ babies, mo’ knits

March 6, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

The impending pitter patter of baby feet inevitably sends me straight for my knitting needles. True to form, in late pregnancy, I started on a baby blanket for the littlest. But, in rather typical third baby syndrome, I haven't actually managed to finish that yet. (Ahem, she is nearly four months old now, so I … Continue reading Mo’ babies, mo’ knits

New baby; new knitting.

May 13, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

When I first started writing this blog, 3.5 years ago, the sproglet was just three months old and none of my siblings had any children. In the time since, there’s been the arrival of another six babies in our family: my next sister down has had a son and a daughter, my brother a son, … Continue reading New baby; new knitting.

A chunky, earthy toddler jumper

February 10, 2016February 9, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 12 Comments

Never has anything I’ve knit been met with such enthusiasm as this chunky green and mustard jumper. Before I had even got the wool on the needles the sproglet was already endearingly excited about the prospect of a new jumper. Me: “Sproglet, would you like it if I knitted you a new jumper this winter?”* … Continue reading A chunky, earthy toddler jumper

January 18, 2016January 17, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

The transition from December to January has had me in a flurry of planning, organising and new starts, in a way it doesn’t normally. Typically, the start of January sees me sitting in a post-Christmas fug, depressed about the lack of availability (or acceptability) of a Bucks Fizz for breakfast and wine at lunch and … Continue reading In recent weeks…

A foray into knitting for cash

December 17, 2015December 17, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

I’m a member of a couple of Facebook Mum’s groups. You know the kind – they’re started for people who live in a particular area, to sell and buy second hand kids stuff, and gradually everyone within a 20 mile radius has joined and there are 5,000 Mums chatting away non-stop about why the kids … Continue reading A foray into knitting for cash

Finally finished: a toddler cardie

April 8, 2015April 8, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 14 Comments

Oh, the sun, the sun of the past few days! Can it really signal an end to this interminable winter at last? I am keeping all fingers and toes crossed that it is so. And so, with the appearance of some warmer weather, it is, naturally, perfect timing for me to actually finish the cardigan … Continue reading Finally finished: a toddler cardie

Back on the needles…

October 7, 2014October 6, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 11 Comments

My knitting has taken a bit of a back seat these past five months. After the knitting-nesting frenzy before sproglet mark II was born, my needles have been consigned to the needle holder, evenings these days not given over to knitting a gorgeous blanket, so much as slumping, weary, in front of the TV, too … Continue reading Back on the needles…

Rainbow chevron baby blanket

May 19, 2014May 17, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

Prepare yourself, gentle readers, for some photos of... ...my favourite thing I've ever knit! Whipped up in a mere few weeks of late-pregnancy knitting fever, I present to you this rainbow chevron baby blanket, a present for my brand new nephew. I dillied and dallied about what to make for him, knowing that he was … Continue reading Rainbow chevron baby blanket

For the love of knit

May 14, 2014June 2, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 10 Comments

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

The horror

April 22, 2014April 20, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

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

The mantelpiece a few weeks back, basking in some Spring sunshine. This is just my very favourite time of year…
If you’ve followed me for a while, you may be remember me mentioning that I really hate driving. It makes me feel super anxious, especially with the kids in the car, and living in London definitely doesn’t help. I’ve been meaning to crack my fear for years now but never quite managed, but I’m determined to try and make some progress this year (it can be a huuuge pain always schlepping about with three kids on a bus).
Oh but I just love Spring. So happy to see these beauties back again this year (Narcissus ‘Bridal Crown’)…
Never not half-planning to move to Frome…
