Katie Knits

I am in a spin, I have just discovered that Phildar have finally started printing their patterns in English & you can order directly from them!
I absolutely love Phildar patterns & in the past have paid an exhorbitant amount of money to get the English translations from England or the US but no more!

I have some actual knitting content today, I even have photo's to proove it - see.

I am also around halfway through the Weekend Getaway Satchel. Since I'm knitting it in black I will save you the picture of an unidentifiable black blob, for now.

I know this is supposed to be a knitting blog but I have to confess, before I was a knitter, I was a crocheter (is that even a word?).
Anyway my Mum said she was looking for some doily's but couldn't find any she liked, so I have started a crochet doily to give to her for Christmas.


Crochet is kind of like lace knitting it looks crap until you block it!

In other non-knitting news I thought I'd share with you Penny's latest trick. I'm still working on getting her to do it on command but she does volunteer it a lot.


Aww, how cute

*Double OMG, I have actually been able to post. Blogger has not been playing nice lately & frequently won't let me log in, stupid thing!
