This week has been one of my least productive for ages, I’ve only worked on one project -the Bertie baby blanket, and only done two more pattern repeats (8 colour bands). I have, however, sewn in all of the ends so far and measured the blanket to estimate how many more rows I’ll need to…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-31st January
This is a post that’s been brewing for a while, and is a follow up to my post 5 Rules For Playing Yarn Chicken which I wrote a few months ago.

Last week I showed you the block stitch hot water bottle cover I was making for Mr C, and mentioned my strong dislike of sewing in ends. I calculated that by the end…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-10th January
I have been the proud owner of one of these awesome machines for 15 whole days now, although I only got it out on Boxing Day evening. Mr C warned me that the reviews online said it had a lot of settings and could be tricky to use, so I braced myself for a learning…… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned As A Silhouette Cameo 3 Beginner
