purl city skip to main skip to sidebar purl city a knitting obsessive records her efforts for the world to see friday 25 september 2009 here are the missing pictures from earlier here are the rest of the pictures i tried to upload earlier the first one is of big old me sitting and knitting in our hotel in tunisia i am working on the yellow mystery socks designed by nancy bush called foxes faces you can see some wip shots below me so far i have learnt how to do a vikkel braid a dutch heel and i am about to do a completely different toe to what i am used to i realise that sometimes it is easy to get into a comfort zone with knitting and to become fearful of trying anything new these socks reminded me of this the pinky orangey socks are my nanners designed by wendy johnson i haven t got far with them yet bear with me posted by charlie chuckles at 13 23 13 comments labels foxes faces knitting nancy bush nanner pink tunisia yellow time to resurrect this blog i know i say it every time but this time i am definitely back i have been doing loads of knitting recently learning to machine knit want to learn to spin and am low and behold pregnant again and i want to blog it all here at the moment i am currently taking part in sockdown on ravelry where this month s challenge is to knit a any pair of socks or the mystery sock pattern designed by the lovely and very talented nancy bush in yellow or any wendy johnson pattern in any colour i have cast on two pairs of socks the nancy bush mystery sock in my own hand dyed yarn named sofia s sunshine and a pair of nanners designed by wendy johnson in krafty koala yarn called candystripper as you can see from my progress pictures which will be added later when i can get the card reader to work again i have nearly finished the mystery sock which we now know is called foxes faces as the lace does look a bit like them but i haven t made much progress on the nanners my excuse is this month we had our family holiday in tunisia and although i took loads of projects and expected to get loads of knitting done we were too busy running around after a toddler to sit still for more than five minutes knitting and swimming pools do not mix well either so all i managed was a few rows here and there in the hotel bar of an evening while our daughter danced about the rules of sockdown state that although you have to cast on before the end of the month you actually have until the end of the next month to finish projects i think when i have finished the foxes faces i will blog a lot more about them as i have learnt so many new techniques while making them and loved every minute i have quite a few projects in progress at the moment and i desperately want to get them finished so i can start doing some christmas knitting and of course knitting for the baby i m so excited about knitting for the baby i didn t take up knitting again until after my daughter was born so i didn t have the joy of knitting little cardigans and booties last time round i have been exploring unisex patterns for the little one who is due in february i don t intend to find out the sex beforehand we honestly do not care what we get as long as he or she is happy and healthy a few people have commented that it is shame i don t know either way so i can buy either pink or blue wool but i don t really like all that gender colour business anyway plus i hate baby shades and pastel colours so my little one will be a riot of colour when he she arrives it is funny as we were the same with our daughter she wore every colour going rather than just pink pink pink i am not very pink pretty girly girly so i thought she wouldn t be either she is now nearly three and everything she wears has to be pink sparkly flowery or princessy she adores stories about princesses and fairies and loves pretty things i don t know where we went wrong honestly though if that is how she wants to be i am happy to dress her that way it is her decision i want her to be happy and comfortable with herself my mother used to put ringlets in my hair tie them in ribbons and make me fancy frocks on her sewing machine i am sure i looked like a cherub but i felt really uncomfortable and dolling up was never me i spend a lot of time wondering what the new baby will be like my mam says you never get two the same well in five months i ll find out hopefully in five months i can make quite a few lovely things for both the baby and our daughter i can t leave her out posted by charlie chuckles at 05 31 2 comments labels baby daughter foxes faces knitting nancy bush pink sockdown tunisia wendy johnson yellow monday 15 june 2009 hey guess what i m back again happy monday morning to you all i have decided to bring this blog back from the grave and breathe some life into it it is not that i have not been blogging it is just i haven t been blogging here my other blogs are about travel parenting politics and other interests it is just i have decided i need a special place on the interwebz to talk about my knitting dyeing machine knitting and crochet posted by charlie chuckles at 01 47 no comments monday 13 october 2008 no honestly i really am back this time hi there folks i m back blogging and hopefully i will be able to post with more frequency now i have a new laptop and blogging is easy peasy on it before i would lose the will to live while my computer would consider my requests and sit on them for a while before having an attack of the vapours and shutting down completely although i haven t been posting i have been knitting and crocheting mainly for my muse beanie hell i ve even been working on a few designs of my own fancy that pictured are a few recent fos and a wip hope you like them posted by charlie chuckles at 05 15 2 comments labels fos knitting monday 21 july 2008 i m blogging again okay so it has been 5 months since my last post why so long well i had a few issues with the blog some technical and some external and decided it would be a good idea to put it to rest for a while but i feel now is a good time to return to purl city with a fresh head what have i been doing in the meantime don t be silly i ve been knitting and crocheting of course mainly for beanie who is growing up fast posted by charlie chuckles at 04 32 5 comments monday 11 february 2008 bang bang you re dead but only if your ravelry name is pippa and only in a hat attack yarntastic sense i knitted through the weekend when husband and child permitted to finish this bad boy and it is currently winging its way up to scotland to knock pippa out of hat attack alas i have already been slain by kraftykoala whose hat is on its way to me i tried everything to stay in the game i even emailed her assassin perversia and asked her to hurry it up big time i am off to join the zombie kal now posted by charlie chuckles at 14 06 7 comments wednesday 6 february 2008 interesting q what is your process when planning a project do you shop for yarn and then find a suitable pattern do you find your pattern and then go out to buy the yarn or are you stash busting if your stash is out of control how did it get that way for me there is no set process i shop for yarn all the time and quite often just buy it cos it looks and feels nice eventhough i have no idea what it will be eventually made up into sometimes i do see a pattern i love and i have to buy the required yarn straightaway but usually i see a pattern and try to see what i already have in my massive stash that will work i am trying to stash bust at the moment as my stash is way out of control but it is hard because there is so much gorgeous yarn out there and i can t help buying it that s why i have such a big stash posted by charlie chuckles at 02 35 2 comments older posts
