Fortuna Major
While I’ve spent the last month or so packing and moving and settling, I’ve not been idle. Or rather, I’ve not allowed other people to be idle. I’ve had people testing my latest sock pattern. It’s so easy to miss potential issues either by thinking you’ve done a thing (and haven’t) or by assuming the […]
Holiday Round-Up
I’m back at work tomorrow and looking forward to it. I’ve enjoyed my rest but I’m bursting with ideas for more samples. For some reason I’m on cable kick mixed with … unconventional construction which is really exciting. It’s a great feeling to be going back to work with a definite idea. I don’t feel […]
What’s A Girl To Do?
I’m sure the last thing you want to do when you get home from work is more of your 9-5. I know when I worked in my previous career, I looked forward to running out the door and filling my evenings with more fun things than grumpy nurses and sick people. Of course that was […]
Time and Tide and Buttered Eggs.
My husband asked me what I’d like for Christmas the other day. Please don’t panic at the use of the “C” word. It’s normally banned in our house until at least the middle of December, however, Boy works shifts and so we tend to think of our time in blocks of 4 weeks. We talked […]

Twisted Knit Group 2

Sock Week
This week I’m planing on a sock finish. Of course this isn’t just one sock. It’s 4. Two of them are KAL socks that I’ve designed, one is for my fiance (to go with the first one I’ve already completed), and the final sock is the next sock in my “Beyond the Fat Lady” series. […]
Pig Snout
Today I’ve been sorting out the final edits for my latest sock pattern – Pig Snout This is the second sock in my “Beyond the Fat Lady” series – socks inspired by the passwords used within the Harry Potter books. Pig Snout is the second password of the first book – Harry Potter and the […]
Button
Today has been more studio work which is taking shape but still a work in progress. However, I have been productive in ways I can share. This is “Button” which is my latest sock design. The inspiration for this sock came when a friend of mine mentioned how much she loves knitting texture. “Cables or […]
