These are all the things I’ve made during 2009 - or at least all the ones I’ve remembered to photograph!
There doesn’t seem to be very much knitting in there, which surprises me, although I did spend most of the summer working on two large items which aren’t finished yet.
I also still haven’t really shown you [...]

Leaves in the snow.

I went for a walk in the snow this morning. I took a grand total of 99 pictures, then came back and edited them down to just 9. I went out rather early, so although there was a lot of light reflecting from the snow, it wasn’t really daylight yet. As a result a lot [...]

This is the big fat frog that hopped out from underneath the broken fence as we were pulling it down. He didn’t seem too keen to get out of our way - Paul had to rather unceremoniously pick him up and plop him down in next door’s plant pot!
This morning, whilst wandering around on Flickr, [...]
These are the photos from Centre Parcs - mostly of owls.
I’m quite pleased with these, although I missed a lot of great shots of the owls by being much too slow!
These are the photos from London - mostly of the aquarium and the zoo.
Sadly a lot of these are either out of focus, or focussed [...]
I’m just dropping in for a flying visit to upload the photos from the first part of our honeymoon - you can see them all here.
Yesterday we had a Falconry session in the morning, and an Encounter With Owls in the afternoon. This enormous chap was featured in both. His name’s Woolly, and he’s an [...]
Look who I met today. Isn’t he adorable?
This little grey squirrel spent all morning running about in the rain, digging holes in my back garden and burying his stash of winter goodies.
When he’d finished, he decided that it would be a good idea to sit on my fence and bark/honk/screech at me for a good [...]
No, not tiny little woollies to keep them warm. Instead, Seasalt in Cornwall are holding their annual “Go Knit!” charity drive.
This year they’re collecting donations of hand knitted scarves, and all proceeds from their sale will go to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Bees and knitting are two of my passions, so obviously I’ve sent my scarf [...]
This is why I write tutorials.

Pink Salamander made a skirt, using my Gathered Skirt Tutorial.
The bird fabric is from IKEA - isn’t it adorable?
You can read all about the project over on Burda Style.
Ariane had a go at the Flower Brooch Tutorial, and came up with these gorgeous creations.
Not having a huge stash of buttons, she got creative and gathered [...]
To make the most of the fact that I happened to be off sick on the one day in the last fortnight when it wasn’t chucking it down with rain the entire time, I went for a very short walk with the camera - just down to the edge of the lake and back.
Paul’s taken [...]
Here’s another bird picture, by way of an apology for my lack of posting. I seem to have been super busy lately, and I’ll have loads of new plans to tell you about very soon.
In the meantime, my baby blackbird is growing up!
Here he is, fresh from the bird bath.
