musing and doing skip to main skip to sidebar musing and doing ramblings of an avid crafter who is a great starter but not such a great finisher wednesday september 07 2011 blanket madness i have decided to maybe finish one of my many blanket wips before i embarked on another blanket adventure i love the beekeeper s quilt or the hexipuff as i call it i envisage that to be a long term project one which will take years and years to complete so in a rare moment of focus i sewed up tons of small miters into bigger miters and joined up all the miters into strips and then the 3 strips together this is what i got it s a good lap sized blanket 3x4 squares hubby decided that it was too small and it needs to be at least 4x5 squares so here i am knitting a yet more squares i haven t even thought about the edging and that will require more focus kim my summer tank was a little creation from me it was knitted in the round from bottom up with no shaping it would be the perfect top if i could find the right yarn the bamboo tape is annoying posted by ling at 5 36 pm 6 comments wednesday august 31 2011 summer tank i have knitted myself a summer tank in rowan bamboo tape that was on sale few ago i now know why it was on sale it grows and grows and grows and i think it s still growing some more and the annoying thing is that i made a swatch and washed it and took into consideration that it would grow oh well you live and learn anyway here it is when it still vaguely fits me posted by ling at 10 01 pm 2 comments sunday august 14 2011 my baby s all grown up the one thing i dislike about summer holidays how little time i have blink and suddenly it s mid august i swear how did that happen there s one important event that happens in august zoe s birthday she turned 4 earlier in the month again where does the time go we had a little party for her i knitted her a cute little sundress she s happy as a clam happy birthday my little darling posted by ling at 8 03 pm 3 comments wednesday july 20 2011 knit nation part 2 knit nation was amazing it was fun i had a great time catching up with old friends making new friends and honing new skills i was part of the volunteer crew again this year but this year my friend kate and i were in charge of the knit nation and socktopus stand we were selling knit nation merchandise of mugs and projects bags and sokkusu o yarns it s the first time where we ve had a range of the colourways available to purchase everyone seemed to enjoy being able to fondle the yarn which is amazingly squishy and soft this was the selection of colours that we had most of them proved very popular and we had a selection of socks knitted up in the yummy yarns no i didn t knit all of them i knitted 1 pair the red ones the socks will be appearing in alice s new book socktopus the trouble with manning a yarn stall is that after 3 days of being surrounded by yarn i didn t have much desire to shop for yarns isn t that just awful fear not i did buy some yarns a project bag and some fun notions but that s for another post posted by ling at 9 44 pm 2 comments tuesday july 19 2011 knit nation part 1 all about the shawls i ve suddenly realised that i haven t updated my blog in ages so firstly i must apologise for not doing that secondly it was because i ve been super busy doing mummy things like attending the children s summer concerts end of term parties birthday parties etc etc and also getting ready for knit nation alice from socktopus was showcasing the sokkusu yarn at the show i had volunteered to knit up some shawl samples for the show in the period of 4 weeks give or take a day or two i transformed myself into a shawl knitting monster and finished and blocked 3 shawls dear readers if you re surprised so was i the first shawl i finished was a swallowtail in sokkusu o in denim blue the only modification i made was to not knit the nupps in the edgings not because i don t like them but because i wasn t sure if i d have enough yardage looking at what i have left i needn t have worried next up is gail aka nightsongs in sokkusu o in fontainebleu i made 1 small modification in the pattern i didn t knit the double yo s in the centre of the shawl instead i knitted a centre stitch looks pretty good last but not least it s gingko shawlette in sokkusu o in goldenrod this shawl nearly didn t get finished on time i finished it at 12 30 midnight and was blocking by 1 am by the time i took it to knit nation at 7am in the morning it was still slightly damp i think the shawlette is a bit on the small side i think i will undo the edging and make a few more repeats of the leaves one final word it s about the yarn it is sooo lovely to knit with it s a high twist superwash merino custom milled for socktopus it s extremely squishy and soft the stitch definition is amazing anyway i ll sign off now as that s more than 1 word my next post will be about knit nation and the amazing time i had posted by ling at 4 36 pm 1 comment sunday june 12 2011 strawberry pimms cupcake i ve been busy on the baking front cupcake baking to be exact the task was set on cupcake challenge to bake up cupcakes using at least 2 of the 6 ingredients as set this month s ingredients are strawberries pimms no 1 lemonade orange mint and cucumber i ve gone for the easy combination of strawberry pimms and lemonade i made a pimms syrup and soaked the strawberries in it for the adults for the kids i soaked the strawberries in a lemonade syrup i used a basic vanilla cupcake recipe and placed the strawberries in the middle of each cupcake the icing is some fresh double cream whipped with a small amount of icing sugar it turned out really well i think for the adults i ll drizzle some pimms over the cupcakes for an added kick yum posted
