I’ve been to London to visit the Queen. But Pussycat, Pussycat, where else have you been in the last three weeks? You haven’t blogged in all that time. Well, I’ve had a bit of an adventure over the past few weeks, so I guess if you really want to know where I’ve been, I’ll just…
London Purling
Hihi,Since my last post, I’ve spent a couple of days in old London town, being a tourist. And The Knitted Kitten came long for the ride, seen here on the London Eye: I of course made the usual calls to the Tower of London, Madame Tussauds, et cetera, et cetera. But because of the theme…
Purlin the Magician
I’m back in Suffolk after a very long day of doing touristy things. As I had been in Devon, it only seemed right that I have a proper Devonshire cream tea before leaving. So, we stopped in a town called Honiton and found a gorgeous little tea room which was indeed called The Tea Roon,…
Maloose
Hello,I’m here with another update from my trip. On Thursday, I set off with my aunt from Suffolk, England, to Cardiff, Wales. We were there to visit some relatives, one of whom is my great aunt. She had visited the antipodean wing of our family in 1987 and she showed me her photo album from…
Knittywinkles
I went to St Tiggywinkles today. It’s an animal hospital in Haddenham, England, which has a hedgehog museum in it. The place is fantastic, and it’s a wildlife park, too, where you can walk around and see the animals they are looking after (both temporary and permanent residents). Like a lot of Australians, I think,…
Saxon Holiday
Dear blog reader (singular as there’s roughly one of you), Here I am in England, on the first leg of my European holiday. As promised, I’ve taken along The Knitted Kitten to help document my travels, even though my holiday really has nothing to do with knitting. As you’ll read, while my purposes for traveling…
Holiday
Hello blog readers,I will be taking a trip for the next two months. My purposes for travelling are completely knitting un-related, but rest assured I will be knitting on this trip. I’m bringing along The Knitted Kitten, i.e, the cat on the banner of my blog, i.e., this one: I’ve decided to be lame and…
Fruity Alpaca
Bonjour,Just quickly wanted to share with you some pictures of a yarn I made. It is alpaca yarn, prepared using hand-cards and spun using the long-draw method. Eyeballing it, I think it’s about 10ply weight. In actuality it is a 2-ply yarn. I had planned to leave this yarn white, but it had too many…
Angelfish Beanie Pattern
This is a double-barrelled post. Barrel 1 — The Inspiration The other day I splurged and bought the Craftsy course Lace Shawl Design. I should add that it wasn’t expensive at all, and it was actually cheaper than usual as they have a sale on right now ($20 instead of $30), I’m just cheap. I’ve…
