May knitting
I can’t talk about knitting in May without mentioning my first ever pattern on Ravelry.com. It’s a free pattern and it’s really more of a calculator/recipe than a pattern as such. It’s called the Super Sock Calculator! So you might ask: “what’s so super about it?”. You can knit two socks at a time –

Knitting edge stitch: Ridge & Furrow
I am working on my first knitting design and for this I designed a simple knit on edging. I chose to call it Ridge & Furrow, named after the archaeological evidence of a Medieval ploughing method. This brings back memories of standing in the middle of a field with a group of fellow archaeologists and

Comfort of a friend, Bess and Lily
OK, so now I think we have established that I like to knit matching outfits for my daughter Bess and her Lilliputiens doll Lily. I do this for various reasons. Sometimes to do a quick test of a knit pattern calculator I am working on, and sometimes just for the joy of watching my daughter

March knitting
I have been using Instagram a lot recently for two reasons. One it’s fun (and easy) to say it with pictures when you don’t have time to write a long story about what you are doing. Snap a quick picture and short description. Two my phone doesn’t take the best pictures so by Instagram’ing them
