Next Project

As you know by now, I'm a huge fan of Jared Flood of Brooklyn Tweed. His knitting patterns are impecably written and are absolutely gorgeous to look at. This is my next project. Pattern is called Autumn Leaves Stole. Yarn is 100% wool, worsted weight also by Brooklyn Tweed. Colour: Plume. The stitches are on the needles and I'm ready to start the pattern. Stay tuned for photos of work in progress.

The Guernsey Wrap

Finished in just a little over a month. This piece is not very difficult - just combinations of knit and purl stitches, yet I've had more compliments on this piece than any.

I'm loving all Brooklyn Tweed designs. Jared Flood has such an eye for detail and his patterns are beautifully written. Yarn is Shelter in Almanac by Brooklyn Tweed.

Welcome!

Being self-employed eats up a lot of time and energy, and being a Holistic Nutritional Consultant means I have to look after myself physically and emotionally. I'm always striving to bring more balance to my life. I created this blog to help make that happen. My Dad taught me to knit and play the accordion when I was ten years old - and although instructions for both were very basic, and my first few projects and tunes were pretty scarey, I was inspired to practice and improve - well... with the knitting anyway. I'm always up for a challenge and over the years I've knit everything from mittens and socks, to detailed sweaters and lace. Knitting, more so than accordion music gives me such a sense of calm. It's truly meditative for me. Thank you Dad!
