Reviewing my new toy – the yarn winder!

06.25.2015 by Elsie Pop // 4 Comments

Red and cream yarn winder on desk

I never thought I needed or wanted a yarn winder. I was happy enough with using yarn directly from the ball, or, when I had a hank to work from, sticking it on the back of a chair/around my knees/on my long-suffering husband’s outstretched arms and winding it by hand. Then I went to Imagiknit […]

Clover yarn cutter pendant review

06.09.2015 by Elsie Pop // 4 Comments

My little life changer – the Clover Yarn Cutter pendant! When I first saw a picture of the Clover Yarn Cutter Pendant, I knew it was destined to be mine! On our recent holiday, I got to the airport and had a quick rifle through my handbag for anything that might be restricted… and came […]

Interview with Jenny at Artesano Yarns

Escher lizard pattern socks

I was so excited when the lovely Jenny at Artesano Yarns agreed to an interview that I did a little happy dance! I approached Jenny because I’m a huge Artesano fan, having turned to their fantastic yarns for a number of special projects in the past, and I continue to use them regularly. Artesano have […]

San Francisco – Yarn Heaven!

04.22.2015 by Elsie Pop // Leave a Comment

Variegated yarns, Imagiknit

San Francisco has to be one of my favourite places in the world, so I was delighted when we managed to shoehorn it into our recent holiday to the USA. When I say shoehorn it in, I mean it – we had already decided to go to Florida, so we decided it would be the […]

Brother KH-881 knitting machine

It’s been quite the week! Last I wrote I was busy setting up my craft room to prepare for the arrival of my knitting machine. I finally got my hands on it on Monday – and while this is super exciting, I was too scared to touch it for a day! I worked the day […]

Pretty Fleece

  I think Unravel might be my favourite craft show! I suspected this might be the case last year but I was still very new to the craft show circuit – returning this year has cemented its place as #1 so far. This year’s Unravel new came at the perfect time for me personally as […]

The War on WIPs

I had to make a confession to my husband the other day. It was hard to admit, but I currently have about 30 works in progress (WIPs). I wish I was exaggerating. I think the root of the problem is that I love yarn too much – when I find some yarn I love, I […]

Garden Craft Room – The Big Reveal!

Phew, what a busy few months it’s been! I’ve had a lot going on, but the most exciting project of all has been setting up my own garden office and craft room. It’s taken a long time, and a lot of hard work, but I’m finally in! We only have quite a small garden, so we […]
