GAAA Wordless Wednesday: Susan Rainey Square


This square is the prize winner of the competition, and not for those that dislike sewing!  The sweater is sewn to a plain background in three pieces.  For more information, visit my Great American Aran Afghan Squidoo Page

Repairing My Ten Stitch Blanket

Remember ages ago I knit a ten stitch blanket? I used 500g of Sirdar Denim Tweed I’d bought on sale and didn’t like when knit up, but poppy adopted it even when it was washcloth sized and so it became a dog blanket.  Cut to the end of April and poppy gave birth on it!   Five chewing puppies later and it ended up with this big hole!

GAAA Wordless Wednesday: Ginger Smith Square


This Square is knit in panels whilst the other stitches are kept on hold – a really useful technique to learn!  For more information, visit my Great American Aran Afghan Squidoo Page

About six months ago we had a litter of puppies from our gorgeous jack Russell, Poppy.

Progress Report

It’s amazing how long it takes to knit a sleeve.  I’m still on the first one of my secret project, but at least I’m an inch or so from the end.  I’m going to try putting a row in between each bit of joined i-cord because my other attempt came out a bit tight.  The bad thing though about sleeves is that I’m about to do it all over again!

GAAA Wordless Wednesday: Georgia Vincent Square


This Square came out far larger than the prescribed 12” square, so I’ll probably reknit this with a smaller needle.  For more information, visit my Great American Aran Afghan Squidoo Page
