Knitty Jewellery Yearnings sated at Max’s World

Posted on 18/07/2013 by monsteryarns

It’s wonderfully, gloriously and unceasingly hot. I am NOT complaining, just vaguely in disbelief that there seems to be no end to the sunny weather. It’s almost like being on holiday somewhere on the Continent. I love walking in the … Continue reading →

Kaffe Fassett – A Life in Colour Exhibition

Posted on 01/07/2013 by monsteryarns

It was a specifically uninspiring day weather-wise on Friday in London. And since I’ve started my new job, I’ve been more than usually under the kosh from a work-load point of view. I had earlier in the week, in a … Continue reading →

Crochet for Spring

Posted on 02/05/2013 by monsteryarns

Last week, I went to class on Granny Squares held by Betsy Makes. It was colourful fun. I don’t know about you but although I’ve made crochet items small and large, for some reason they have always been in the … Continue reading →

4KCBWDAY4 – Colour Review

Posted on 25/04/2013 by monsteryarns

I knit and crochet because I love the colour and texture of yarn I work with. They are in equal first position. There have been occasions I’ve bought yarn on the internet as it looked right, only to cause disappointment as the … Continue reading →

From Random Acts of Kindness

Posted on 18/04/2013 by monsteryarns

A few months ago,  Helen from Fuss Free Flavours (do check out her yummy blog), rather randomly and totally kindly gave me some yarn – I believe it was someone’s left-over stash which they were house-clearing. The stash-buster wasn’t even … Continue reading →

Posted on 16/04/2013 by monsteryarns

I’m obviously not a yarn purist as I adore self-striping yarn. The line is very clear on this – you either love it or hate it. It’s like the Marmite question. Or the Cats v. Dogs question. For me it was … Continue reading →
