Blog moving!

I have moved my blog!

I have loved this blog so much but its time it was a bit fresher and spruced up a bit, so I have moved to Wordpress as Leafgreenknits.

I don't feel that I am such a frogging knitter as I once was ... although I still advocate frogging as the best ever way to sort out and dodgyness in knits!

I feel that I want to just start afresh and also to blog about my other life plans such as gardening, (I have so much to learn!) and pursuing more of an outdoor life.

Of course knitting is the main priority.

Please subscribe to my new blog and join me over there. (and enter the competition!)

Blogging is nothing without you guys to read and visit.
Thank you to everyone who has been with me here over the last three and a half years.

I thought ...

... that spring was coming and bought some flowers and bits from the market all ready to get out to my garden, so neglected.



Its been foul weather though. So the sock knit has finally taken off. I tried about four stitch patterns and then found this one which I love. It looks like little owls and is from a Japanese stitch dictionary I have.
Has anyone seen a sock like this before? If not I could try and write up the pattern when I have finished.



The Narcissus smell lovely and are so tiny, little mini daffodils.
I walk past them and take a moment to centre myself in the madness that is rainy day school holidays!

Thank you ...

... to all of you who commented on my previous post. Words can bring you really down and also bring you right back up again, which your comments really did for me. A few days stomping around, thinking, and evaluating life and I think that I am back to my usual self.

I have thrown myself into essays (yuck!), work, resurecting my etsy shop and knitting. I have got on with my sock, and decided what I will do for the Ravelympics. I am in the Wildcraft team so I will spin this lovely fibre, English wool blend.



I am also going to try my hand at designing and knitting a sock, in proper sock yarn!
I have a couple of stitch dictionarys to look through for ideas.



I have also finally got around to writing up this pattern. The Rippled Cable gloves are in my Etsy (US dollars) and Online (UK pounds)shops. Edited to add ... also in my ravelry store



Deciding to sell a pattern is a bit scarey but I had a lovely test knitter whos version is gorgeous.
