used to blog here when i was an obsessive cross stitcher i lost my stitching mojo and really haven t found it again whilst i have always been a bookworm i then became obsessed with books i joined goodreads and discovered reading challenges which led to the discovery of new authors which then led to more books my bookcase is overflowing i overdid the challenges and burned out i still read but i m now not quite so obsessive just over a year ago there was a request in the school newsletter asking for hand knit blanket squares for charity i taught myself to knit in my mid teens and it was something i did on and off over the years i had have a box of yarn that was shipped over with us when we moved here taking up space in the under stairs cupboard i figured i could make up some squares and de clutter at the same time out of curiosity one day i google d charity blanket squares and found knit a square kas i decided i needed more yarn so i could knit more charity squares of course of course one of the bookshops here at the time had a small haberdashery section with a select range of yarn then a friend told me about another store here in dubai that sold yarn and other crafty delights on my first visit there i started chatting with another customer who was on a stopover in dubai and had heard about the store through ravelry i remember hearing about ravelry a few years ago but membership was by invite only and i wasn t really knitting back then today different story i joined and found the amiras a wonderful group of ladies who meet up once a month and sometimes more frequently one of those ladies is jocelyn i heart her and her beautiful hand dyed yarn i have learnt so many new things in the last year i can now knit socks and cool hats simple lace and non lace shawls sweaters in the round no seaming and the yarns i truly had no idea such fantabulous yarns existed so now i have a new obsession love and my forays into that will be what this blog will be focussed on maybe with a little bit of life thrown in just to mix things up filed under knitting and tagged amiras knitting 2 comments archives january 2012 november 2011 meta create account log in
