So the Dark Lord is try to morph into King Sauron surrounded by his Orcs. His Ringwraiths sent out to make bad decisions & spread lies. He seeks the One Ring, but it is still held by the little ones whose courage belies their stature. Sauron will lose, shrivel & die, but the battle will be hard.

Out now - my Helen Cardigan is now available as a pattern download from my shop! I am insanely proud of this one: it took me ages to get the design just right, and I think it turned out wonderfully. It's inspired by vintage cardigans from the 40s and 50s. #knitting 🧶 #knitweardesigner #vintageknits

I've been reading a bit about Foetal Valproate Syndrome & wonder if a friend's baby was affected. A pretty little girl but you couldn't make her smile/giggle like other babies. I don't know what happened as my friend died of a massive seizure when her baby was small. I always wonder about her kids.

Another knit added to my list this very morning: Xeni by Kitman Figueroa (on Ravelry), photo by Blue'sAddiction. Isn't it stunning. I can't wait to knit this! 🧶 #knit #knitting #knitsky #xeni #kitmanfigueroa #ravelry #bluesaddiction #knitshawl #knitwrap #art #artistic #gorgeous #shawl #wrap #design

I hate it when that happens. At least I'm at the side and not in the middle of the row. Now to cut that flipping knot and join 'properly'

Okay #knitsky Day 4! Colorwork is complete and I’ve split for sleeves! Someone still thinks this is hers, I’ll be honest, I’m getting a little nervous this is going to be entirely too large, but maybe it will be a beautiful house sweater…

#knitting help needed. I have some West Yorkshire Spinners aran yarn and I don't know what to make. I have about 100g plain grey, 200g pink/white/grey fleck and 400g blue/white/grey fleck. More than enough for a sweater. But style, shape, design? Or something else?

Feeling a bit deflated this morning. I've been on gabapentin for the last 16yrs & have been cutting down (now my work has changed, my pain has also). I was on the cusp of throwing the prescription in the bin, then all the pain came back as a bit of a whammy. I've gone up a little again 😞
