Mixtape Zine

-
It's nearly the end of January (yippee - I just can't love this month the way I should!) and I'm doubly excited for the start of February as the new issue of Mixtape will be out.

I really enjoyed the first two issues, there could be more knitting for me but then I do in fact feel this about everything and am strangely pleased whenever I see someone knitting on film/telly/Shreddies packets!

I feel the fun that goes into this little publication and I like that the articles are on quite mixed (natch) topics .

Also on the subject of crafty magazines - does anyone know what is happening with Yarn Forward magazine? When I tried the url for the website the other day and again today it won't resolve to a site and I can't find a link from Hipknits.

Thank you for the scarfy compliments - it's been in use every day this week so far :o)

Hello Sarah - the Yarn Forward link seems to be working at the moment when I tried it just now (8pm GMT). I received the Winter 2008 issue at the end of last week, only had a quick flick through so far, but thought it was interesting enough to renew my subscription.

There is more info on the magazine blog -

and Kerrie's blog -

Hi Lyn - Thanks for those links, I hadn't seen the blog before so that info was great thank you. Still can't get the URL to resolve but Kerrie mentioned something about an overhaul of the website so I'll keep trying.

The Keeping Cosy Winter Shawl

  Pattern: Springtime Bandit   Yarn: Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, Colour: Atlantic Started: November 2010 Finished: January 16th 2011 Ravelry page I think photographing this shawl has been ten times the challenge that knitting it was! I've taken several shots over several days to try and capture the glory of this red yarn, I'm calling it a day now though I haven't quite got what I wanted as in these grey, dingy days I don't think I will. Happily I feel the absolute opposite about the actual garment, it's everything I dreamed it could be when I saw the inspiring version A Girl In Winter made in the Manos Silk Blend and this shade, evasive though it may be to the camera is so uplifting that it's been the perfect companion for dark, winter days. It's a warm, deep multi-toned red with a pinky blue base, a real treat for the eye. The shawl is big and grand, but cosy and homely all at once. A wonderful pairing of yarn and pattern. I didn't manage to get the

Christmas TIME

I've hit the December point known as - "if only there were more time" - I think it about a thousand times a day as I have yet another crazy idea of something to make/cook/do for Christmas. I like to think that if I could just abandon the job for December that I'd get it all done. I'd get more done for sure but it could never be 'all' as the inspiration out there ensures fresh supplies of schemes for wintery delights - like learning to crochet just to make snowflakes or building my own snow village or... well I'm sure you all get the idea and have a billion things bubbling over that you'll never quite get to. So it's prioritise like crazy, craft for sanity (and if it is as simple as wrapping some berries and mistletoe round a heart shaped wreath - jump for joy) and I try to remember that seeing the people I'm making the presents for is the most important thing of all! I don't think I'll be back here before I head down to the wilds

Ooh la la...

Elle est fini :o) My little beret has finally made it over the finishing line. The peloton have long since disbanded so I can't claim any colour jersey for this but I loved being part of the knitalong so I'm really just pleased I wasn't months behind. Pattern: Verity Yarn: South West Trading Company Karaoke - Mermaid; just under two balls Needles: 4.5mm dpns and 40cm circular Started: 1 July 2008 Finished: 6 August 2008 What's that - you want to see a modelled shot? Well only on one condition - you have to give me your honest opinion as to whether I can rock this hat or not. I am not convinced and the 1TB is being no help - when I say I think it suits me he agrees, when I say I think it doesn't - well yep he agrees! So let's have a vote on it - my head will be adorned by Verity or not depending on the results of the poll [ETA - this is now a blogger poll at the top of my sidebar - happy voting] , and don't worry if you think I look a fool - there are a c
