Because I’ve written The stitch dictionary for left-handers, and I sometimes talk about my latest knitting projects, I occasionally get enquiries from people wanting to know if I can recommend a book that teaches knitting left-handed. I asked my friend Melody Lord who has recently written an excellent book called Knitting Basics, if she could […] I devoted a bit of time yesterday morning to doing some more on Luzine’s left-handed Schwalm. When I had started, I had automatically mounted the fabric into my embroidery hoop. But I was finding the coral knot stitch hard going with the fabric provided, in the hoop. When I do coral knot stitch in Mountmellick […] If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you’ll know that my daughter, Rainbow Girl, loves gymnastics and has a goal to one day represent Australia in gymnastics.

Its not supposed to be that warm at this time of year! So with the cooler weather approaching, and with the prompting of Bendigo Woollen Mills who keep sending me things in […] Exciting news! I was one of the three readers of Mary Corbet’s Needle’nThread selected to test Luzine Happel‘s left-handed schwalm embroidery instructions. I’m thrilled! This comes at the perfect time for me, as I am between books, and haven’t got any embroidery projects on the go at the moment. If you’re one of the other […] I have just finished adding the Portuguese Whitework supplies to the Vetty Creations site. You can now get all you need to explore Portuguese Whitework, in one place! If you’re wanting to get started, I suggest you’ll need the following: A copy of Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães A fat eighth of Graziano […] |
