My spreadsheets make grown men weep. Creatives tremble at my passing. I do a bit of knitting too.
2022
Fisherman's Rib Jumper [knitting]
I didn’t really engage my brain when starting this. I was after a quick fix, but you’d think I’d know by now that quick fixes still need a gauge swatch. …
Yoga Socks [knitting]
You ever have one of those moments when you think you’ve had an incredible idea, a brand new thought, the first of its kind? …
Flapper Girl Cross Stitch [needlework]
This one is an ancient WIP I found lurking in the depths of my craft stash, almost entirely forgotten. I was digging through my embroidery drawer looking for I’m not even sure what, and came across a suspiciously bulky magazine. …
Floral Georgette Dress [sewing]
This was… a bit of a spicy one. I was on something of a high from finishing a dressing gown in a weekend, so when the next Friday rolled around I decided to tackle this. …
Yellow Dressing Gown [sewing]
For years I’ve been thinking ‘I’d quite like a new dressing gown’, but because my old one wasn’t literally falling apart I kept talking myself out of it. …
'Ruby Thursday' Socks [knitting]
I had a sudden urge for a pair of red socks, so I made it happen! I used the Ruby Thursday Wollmeise I had leftover from Margot, and a stitch pattern I’ve used before and really liked. …
Slipped Stitch Cropped Vest [knitting]
This is knit from a pattern in the now defunct Knit.1 magazine, from the single copy of it I bought back when I decided I could save some money by knitting my own clothes (and before my tastes in yarn got ahead of my budget :joy:). …
'Eloisa' Dress in Floral Rayon [sewing]
Last year I bought a couple of books by Named Clothing as a birthday present to myself. The basic premise of both books is giving you a base design and then different elements to switch in and out as you see fit; sort of a mid-way point between carefully following a pattern to the letter and self-drafting. …
Bee Embroidery [needlework]
I’m a big fan of bees, with their fuzzy little bums and nectar-drunk bumbling, so when I saw Craft Pod had done a bee-themed pod I just had to get in on it. …
2021
'Boardwalk Blouse' Top [knitting]
Super-cute semi-cropped top with very light slipped stitch pattern for texture. The first Boardwalk Blouse I made wasn’t really in the right colours for me, but I loved the shape so I decided to make another. …
Huge Garter-Stitch Blanket [knitting]
Literally just a huge garter stitch blanket with a couple of mixed batches of acrylic from LoveCrafts (LoveKnitting as it was then). …
'Waiting for Rain' Scarf/Shawl [knitting]
I really liked the look of this pattern when I spotted it on Ravelry; the mixture of textured garter stitch with inset swoopy panels of lace looked fun and interesting. …
2019
'Boardwalk Blouse' Striped Top [knitting]
Super-cute semi-cropped top with horizontal garter rib for texture. The colours on this don’t really work for me but it’s a nice shape! …
2018
Margot Cap-Sleeve Top [knitting]
This is a bottom-up, seamless tee with lace yoke and matching lace trim at bottom. It was loosely inspired by Margot’s scarlet dress in ‘Dial M for Murder’ (lacy bits, solid bits, Dangerously Red). …
'Bradway' Chunky Scarf [knitting]
This is a really nice chunky triangular scarf in lovely light and fluffy wool. Gloriously warm and bouncy, and the textures of the different sections are particularly pleasing. …
Toe-Up 'Pucker' Socks [knitting]
This was a really interesting and fun pattern to knit; it looks super-complicated but it’s actually not that bad once you get into the swing. …
2015
Randi the Tiny Unicorn [knitting]
Randi is a tiny unicorn who turned into our team mascot (our team name at the time being Research and Insight, hence RandI). I don’t remember why exactly but I was happy for it to happen.
…
'Offhand' Gloves as Convertible Mittens [knitting]
I had a mighty need for some convertible mittens, but most patterns just have a cut-off hand rather than the hobo-style partial fingers I prefer, so I adapted a full glove pattern to get what I wanted. …
2014
'Pluie' Intarsia Cardigan [knitting]
Finished Object
Pattern: Pluie by Alex Capshaw-Taylor Ravelry Link: Pluie Yarn: Jamieson’s of Shetland Shetland Spindrift in Natural White and Pacific
'Murderpigs' Colourwork Cardigan [knitting]
This was for the Redacted Renegade Games back in 2014.
Old-school LSG will know but for background: Ravelry was going to run a community event where people compete in teams to make different types of projects, kind of like the Olympics, and with a similar name. …

'Volt' Lightning-Bolt Sweater [knitting]
