It has been all about colour this week. I have been putting together new colours on the Warm Hearted Aran base, some of which sold out very quickly! The most popular colourway was Festive Lights, a colour which, up to now, I've only done on the Reliable Sock Yarn base, but which I decided to test […]

If you've read my blog for a while you'll know my love/hate relationship with my knitting machine. But there is no denying that it can produce a pair of socks far more quickly than I can by hand knitting them, especially if they are to fit larger feet.

We had a lovely week with our friends, Neil and Gilly. Although walking was a little curtailed for Gilly, we took advantage of a wonderful facility in Assynt, the All Abilities Path, which was ideal for Gilly who wanted to do some walking but not on rough ground. The All Abilities network of paths […]

My yarn clubs have been running for about 18 months now. They have been remarkably successful, and I enjoy doing the club yarn as it gives me the impetus to try something new and different. I always fret that club members will hate the colour in any given month, but I've never had anyone say […]

Recently the weeks have been […]

It's only the 12th February, and some of the overseas members have only just received their club yarn (colourway "By the Fireside"), but already I am receiving photo's from members of either a sock in progress or a completed pair! And yet another blogger has a photo of a finished sock. […]

On our way to the post office in Lochinver this morning to post yet more sets of Knitpro needles to those of you who have been snapping them up, we passed this rather stately looking gentleman:We were so close we could have touched him.This blog has had a lot of new visitors over the last 48 hours.

Oh dear, we're not as young as we once were. After two consecutive nights out for dinner with friends, we woke up this morning feeling pretty tired. So we thought the only solution was to head out for a walk. It was a beautiful, sunny, crisp morning, and so we headed to the hills. Peggy and […]
