Found these stuffed down the back of the sofa so finished them off while I killed my brain with Celebrity Big Brother.

I bought this hideous fabulous yarn while on an expedition with my Knitpicking Homies, who laughed at me.

Oh, and while I'm back posting...

My stitching appeared in The AntiCraft a bit ago. Nifty!

The Ballad of Peniston

A tribute to http://www.rathergood.com/peniston (probably rather NSFW)...

Border was adapted corrupted from the Jane Seymour cuff pattern here, and if you want to, uh, recreate my masterpiece you can get my pattern here.

Oh hai. I appear to have had a bit of a finishing kick in the last month.

Made this for Matt for his birthday. Think some of the colours might be a bit dark, but I'm pleased with miniTopher and MiniDeWitt.

Sorry I've been quiet, I've been working on super seckrit projects, and a baby blanket of doom.

I've been envying Ceri's Woolly Monsters for a while, so when she agreed to a socks-for-woolly-monster swap I was very excited.

Here is Phyllis in her new home with me. You can find out more about her here.
