Following on from Part 1 of this topic, I’ve been learning to knit using the Portuguese method.
So what exactly is Portuguese Knitting?

Knitting the Woodlawn Vest
I’ve been a little slack when it comes to talking about the garments I’ve been knitting for Olann and. To be honest, the time just seems to run away on me and before I know it, the next issue is released and that window of opportunity feels lost. As Deirdre and I have decided to switch, from a bi-monthly publishing schedule to a quarterly one, hopefully they’ll be more time (for both of us) to do the things we planned to.
Knitted Sock Love
Knitted socks what’s not to love?
I flashed my latest knitted footwear on Episode 8 of The Olann and Podcast, but they still need to be documented here.
The Knitted Ends of 2016
My home, like many others at the moment, is full of sick people – yuck! I myself am currently trying to get over a cold, the second virus in four weeks. Touch wood, there is no infection anywhere, so I’m assuming my immune system is just having a spot of trouble fighting it off, on account of it being suppressed by my RA medication. You can’t take your injections when your ill, so I’ve missed three so far, which isn’t helping with the underlying condition, but it could be a lot worse – at least I’ve still been able to knit, while I’ve been awake that is ♥
Found! My Latest Pair of Knitted Socks
I’ve been dying to wear my new socks, but couldn’t find them after showing them on the last episode of the Olann and Podcast. Dis-organisation at it’s best – nothing new there. You can imagine my relief, when I went to pull out another pair I’d been working on and discovered these beauties.
Knitting – My Cast on Mania
This week is a good week (so far anyway), we’re waiting on test results, but it’s going to be all good I can feel it in my bones. If were being honest, some of my favourite people, no longer inhabit the same world as me, so the least they can do is look after the other important to me, people. It’s not too much to ask now is it?
Enough nonsense, lets talk knitting and yarn…..
A Big Knitted Hug
I’ve been a little absent on here of late, sorry.
The truth is I’ve been a little absent of late everywhere. As I said in one of my previous posts, there have been many changes to my day to day family life recently. To top it all off, the optician spotted something amiss at my youngest’s routine eye test. He’s been to the hospital twice so far and we’re currently waiting for him to be called in for a few more checks. Fingers crossed it’ll be nothing, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Empty Nest Syndrome – Knitting my way through it.
For the majority of my adult life I’ve been a mum
For all of my adult life I’ve been a mum, I had Dina before I was old enough to vote and if we’re being honest, I’ve grown up with my kids, the older two especially. You’d be forgiven for thinking, that I probably never had a chance to leave home before my children came along, but that’s not the case. I’d already been living ‘independently’, on and off for about two years, before I had Dina (whole different story and something akin to an Eastenders plot line).
Today is a New Sock Day
I finished knitting these lovelies, whilst I was away on holiday, but wasn’t in any rush to sew in the ends at the time. We were, as you know, having lots of lovely sandal weather and I was waiting for a pair of birthday shoes. My children had ordered them in time, but sadly, they were out of stock and we were advised of a six to eight week delay.
Fixing Those Sleeves
A few of you might have seen this photo on Instagram earlier this week? If you did, you’ll also know that I’m on a mission to fix a cardigan.
