A cosy night in
Torrential rain, cosy blanket at the ready, alpaca and a knitting podcast. You could be forgiven for thinking I was setting the scene for a Christmas evening in, but this happened only last night. Yes, in May! Will we ever have a Spring this year, I wonder? Actually, if truth be told, I happen to […]
Forward planning
I’ve been working on something to release in Autumn… yes, you could say I’m a planner! Ax
Hanging Basket
Happy Bank Holiday Monday, boys and girls! Here’s something I completed last week: a hanging storage basket, a stylish and practical solution to add vertical storage in your home. Ideal for displaying plants or organising your kitchen, bathroom, entryway (just pop hats and gloves to grab before you head out), children’s toys or other bits […]
Grey Beans Basket
I have finished another basket! This time for my elephant bush plant (Portulacaria afra), which seems to be thriving in this bright spot of the house. I grew this little beauty from a tiny cutting. Can’t believe how well it’s doing! Ax
Early Spring Craft Market
Hey peeps! I’ll be at Stambourne Market tomorrow (Village Hall from 10am to 2pm). Come by and see what I’ve been up to! Ax
Cailín Arm Warmers
Just finished these arm warmers for a friend (hi Carolyn!). Hope they’ll keep her nice and toasty! Anyone interested in test knitting the pattern I’ve written for these? They’re worked in the round on DPNs (I imagine they’d work equally well done in magic loop) on 4 mm needles (or size to get gauge). One […]
Good wintry morning!
Good morning! Another wintry day in this part of the world Snow was forecast and it would have been magical waking up to the white stuff, but alas, only cold and bitter weather for us today. So, to bring a little cheer on this otherwise dark morning, look at how happy this set of reusable […]

Beans Baskets
I may have gone a bit basket crazy lately… My fingers aren’t thanking me, but I’m loving this mini-puff stitch. Ax
Happy New Year!
Hey peeps! Have I really not posted anything since November??! I guess that’s right. Is it too late to wish you all a Happy New Year? Probably borderline acceptable, as technically we’re still in the first month of the year. Just. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR, folks! Hope 2023 has got off to a great start […]
Jute Plant Pot Cover
Hello children! I have been rather quiet on here, but lots of things have been happening behind the scenes. Somehow I have been having a bit of a hard time photographing stuff in the last few months, thus the lack of posts. I suspect because of how little daylight we seem to be having – […]
Ouch!
30 rows in and 160 stitches on the needles, and I’ve realised I have got every one of my M1 increases the wrong way around! Ouch! It’s only a tiny detail, barely noticeable, but I would know. So there are two options: either rip the whole thing and start over, or try and fix every […]
Lila Lacey Poncho
Yesterday we were blessed with a beautiful sunny autumnal day, so we went for a walk in the sunflower field near where we live. Unplanned but perfect photo opportunity for my recently completed Lila Lacey Poncho. I had had this yarn in my stash for too many years to count! I’m a little embarrassed to […]
