DomesticallyBlissed: Simplify, Simplify, Simplify
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2009/11/simplify-simplify-simplify.html
Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. I remember when I was at university I saw the book ‘Simplify your Life'. By Elaine St James on the counter at the university bookshop. Despite my rather meagre student finances I bought it immediately and read the whole thing on the bus ride home. I was hooked. The notion of deliberately choosing a life that is ‘outwardly simple, inwardly rich’ resonated deeply. Since then, voluntary simplicity. Now there is (of course! A stay at home mum. My life...

SweetP Knits: FO: Bella's Mittens
http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2009/05/fo-bellas-mittens.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2009. This is the project that got me back in the knitting groove - I took all. The great advice you suggested (thank you! And found something for ME, something small and pretty easy, something instant gratification, something in a yarn I've been wanting to try, and a pattern I couldn't wait to start. Made in Shepherd Lambswool Felted 12ply. Excuse the camera cord on the right there - Miss 7 doing the photography again. Made some of these too - hers are a gorgeous green. D Great mitten...

SweetP Knits: Ultimate Longies
http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2009/09/ultimate-longies.html
Saturday, September 5, 2009. Made in Patons Diploma Gold on 30cm Addis. Aww, these were so cute and teeny and a really fun knit. Shannon has only recently released this pattern on Ravelry and I couldn't help myself when the opportunity to test her pattern came up. It's another seamless longies pattern but with innovative shaping and clever increasing that keeps you on your knitting toes. The end result are longies that give a snug fit but are flexible enough to move in all the right places. Now I know I ...

http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2009/07/owl-goodies_30.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. Of O W L S sweater. Fame had a giveaway on her blog. Everyone who sent her a photo for her parliament of owls. Gallery went in the draw to win some gorgeous owl goodies. Kate generously gave me the "early bird prize" as I was the first person (other than her test knitters) to send her a photo! If you're thinking of knitting an OWLS , Kate's gallery is full of wonderful owl-ish inspiration. A lovely project sized Owl tote (with little owl badge). Thank you so much Kate! The first ...

SweetP Knits: A friend in need
http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2009/07/friend-in-need.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. A friend in need. A dear friend of mine is adjusting to life with no hair, she asked me if I would knit her a hat and of course I said I would. I had some Naturally Sensation. Merino/angora - it's the softest thing I could find in my stash for her delicate scalp. The yarn has a little bit of a halo so we chose this pattern. And kept it simple. I made a couple of small mods to account for a different weight yarn. I listed them here. I hope my friend likes it. She will love it!

SweetP Knits: Hello?
http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2010/11/hello.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. It's been too long. I could write a long list of excuses but really, I don't know what happened. My knitting/blogging/crafting mojo just up and left me one day. But I'm here. I'm crafting again. And buying yarn, too. Who knows, maybe I won't leave it a year before I post again. In Needlefood 5ply Silky Toes Blend (Wool/Silk/Bamboo) - "Morning Sky". Fish Hat - Dead or Alive? Sock yarn - my "will be my xmas present" from the kids. Colourway is Mansfield Revisited. Lots of comm...

Wednesday, June 10, 2009. FO:Oriental Lily for Two. June is for finishing" continues! It's great that other people. Are joining in too, and I love seeing all the things that people are making - I'm enjoying getting those hibernating things finally done, very satisfying. I am a big fan of Tikki's. Lovely patterns and after testing the Oriental Lily pattern. The test knit I made was a newborn size. But is still being worn by its very cute recipient. This one shows off the yarn nicely though. Its JJ's M...

SweetP Knits: ButterCup
http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2009/07/forgive-me-readers-its-been-2-weeks.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Forgive me readers, its been 2 weeks since my last blogpost. Nothing bad or interesting - just crazy busy and a distinct lack of anything crafty happening around here. Hopefully a FO post will make up for the longer than intended absence from the blogosphere. 65 skeins Patons Diploma Gold DK (wool, acrylic, nylon). Mods - less increases for the Aline shape and tightened up neckline. I love the colour of this yarn - which I've used before for socks. July 15, 2009 at 12:19 AM. The b...

SweetP Knits: Me Me Me and Me
http://sweetp-knits.blogspot.com/2009/06/me-me-me-and-me.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. Me Me Me and Me. I've been tagged for a Me Meme by two luffly and very talented kiwi bloggers HeartFelt. Right so here's some stuff about me me me (its a bit of an epic one, but fun all the same, I've been pottering away on it all week). What is your current obsession? I'm dreaming about spring and planting my spring garden (possibly getting a bit ahead of myself there). Obsessing about writing a new knitting pattern, knitting things for myself, finding the perfect pattern. I'd lov...
