I’ve recently been on the look out for a few things for the various small people in my life and am amazed at how cool kids’ clothes are these days. If only they came in larger sizes!
I love the Babushka dolls on this one – very sweet. Perfect for D’s niece who is coming up [...]

Looks like I’ve been tagged! By Spider knit. For the 8 random things meme again. I have vague recollections of doing this, but nothing distinct, so may as well give it another go (any opportunity to blather on about myself…). Apologies if it’s terrible; we’re off to Singapore for the weekend tomorrow and I’m distracted [...]

They’re still here, hanging around in my knitting basket. I seem to be going through some sort of lull at the moment; nothing is really firing up my knitting mojo. The cable vest for D is still in the works with about three quarters of the front to be knit. I haven’t picked it up [...]

I’ve posted about Flight of the Conchords before, but have only just signed up to YouTube so thought I’d try loading a video. Fingers crossed!

My Vegan Pal 2 Swap package arrived! Thanks to one terribly generous and thoughtful Orange Buttercat. Check it out!
There’s some beautiful soft Cotton from Blue Sky Alpacas (I’ve been dying to try this for so long!) – two skein’s worth!
One of which was wound into a magic yarn ball. I couldn’t resist unravelling it to [...]
You might have noticed a distinct lack of posts here over the last fortnight or so. I haven’t really sewed or knitted anything at all!
Instead I’ve been taking in the sights of KL and playing tour guide to my Mother who came to visit for two weeks. We ate (a lot) and we shopped, [...]
