I popped on my computer several hours ago now, with the full intention of writing a blog post and then walking the dogs. The sun is will be setting soon and I’ve spent my whole afternoon updating my Ravelry Project Page instead – oops!

Fibre all Round
I included British Fibre Art Magazine as one of the things I had my eye on in February’s These Are a Few of My Favourite Things. The eagle eyed among you, will no doubt have spotted my copy resting (artfully like), under one of my Portuguese knitting projects a couple of posts back.
I was chuffed to bits that I’d managed to get hold of it, because at the time, the print run had all but sold out. Since then there has been a reprint, so I’m imagining you might still be able to pick up your own if you’re interested?
With the second issue due out any day, I thought I should get a post about it written up toot sweet.
A Yarny Twelve Days of Christmas
As promised, here is the tutorial for how to make the Twelve Days of Christmas Mini Yarn Calendar.
Mini Yarn Balls
I was rather taken with the Opal Advent Calendar last year, but it would be rather naughty of me to buy one again. My sock yarn stash is ever growing, almost on a weekly basis of late (shamefully. I might even count 2016 sock yarn purchases, before the end of the year – if I’m feeling brave.
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…..
Irish Fields Captured in Yarn Form
Continually captivated by where I live, I’m forever taking photos of the farm and surrounding area just because they make me smile.
Solar Dyeing Woolly Goodness
Hopefully you’ve had a chance to read the article about the day we spent solar dyeing up at my house with the other members of the Cork Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers and some knittterly friends in Issue 5 of Olann and?
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.
