So, I haven’t shown y’all a lot of what I’ve been doing of late and I think that it’s about time that I rectified that. First off, I finished the cabled embrace scarf. It turned out nicely but I was just sooooo glad for it to be done already! It wasn’t difficult once you …
Yesterday, the Hubby and I went to the Linslade Canal Festival. It was a lot of fun seeing all the different organizations that had stalls set up to educate the public as well as sell everything from alpaca blankets (no I didn’t get any even though it was a really good price) to food to …
I just thought that I would share with you the windowsills in the bathrooms in the house. The first is the upstairs bathroom: The second is the downstairs: Who says it can’t “smell like flowers” when you’re done?
This has been a seriously rough weekend here at The Old Chapel. Jiji, the cat that my husband had when I first met him, became quite ill on Thursday night. She stopped eating and was quite lethargic so I stayed up all night with her trying to get her to eat and drink every half …

One of the things that has been “made” recently has been a Knitpicks/Knitpro case for my Symfonie wood and Nova interchangeable circular needle set as well as for the DPNs. The set came with a nasty vinyl case that stuck together and smelled funny and was sort of hard to find anything in and was …
Monday I went into the city and sat in Trafalgar Square knitting with probably about 20 other people. For those of you who do not listen to Brenda Dayne of Cast On or do not live in the UK currently I am going to give you a quick tutorial as to why I did …
This past weekend was our first annual 4th of July party. Attending it were 2 Zimbabweans, a couple of Americans, a family of Indians an Italian and, oh yeah, a few Brits! I don’t know about you but to me that was about as American of a party as we could have had. It was …
So on Monday I got yet another package from my lovely friend Tini this time containing all of her leftover bits of sock yarn. I am planning on knitting this blanket when, well, I don’t know what will have to happen to make it start… But I am planning on it as it is totally …
So I guess that this really shouldn’t be titled “Woolfest Part II” rather something like “The Rest of the Time That We Spent In the North of England” as it really doesn’t have much to do with Woolfest but “Woolfest Part II” was just easier. So, on Saturday I spent a little bit of …
