What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? You haven't seen my workdesk recently. This is the reason. Chaos with a capital C. The main problem is the banana boxes on the right. They contain my knitting yarns and they live on a high shelf (out of shot) and I don't want the huge effort…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Apart from emptying a couple more batches of teabags, I've had to set aside my UFOs (UnFinished Objects) for a while because I've been asked to make something. Cross Stitch Needle Books Last week I was asked if I would make a needle book for someone, and…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Again, no desk - it's just a dumping ground and I haven't been in the studio except to dump more stuff, or to fetch things I need. I am continuing to work on the purple circles jumper and have nearly completed sleeve #1. With the decreases, the…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? As usual, my studio is a tip and a dumping ground. I have been busy creating elsewhere again. UFO time Green mohair cardigan I have now finished this, and it has been washed and pressed, and the problem with the shape around the armholes has disappeared. I…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? As before, there isn't anything worth reporting on my actual desk. This week, on the creative front, I have been concentrating on my knitting. Knitting The black sideways knit UFO This is coming along nicely. I blocked it out on my blocking mat, in an attempt to…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A couple of Florabunda "Thank You" cards that I made by printing the design on the computer, and then colouring with my Tombow markers. The monochrome one has a very subtle touch of purple which unfortunately isn't showing well on the photo. My actual workdesk hasn't seen…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday?Another busy week on the creative front. I had two important cards to make, and made further progress on my knitting. Our wedding anniversary Here is the card I made for my hubby. It had to be rather a quick one because I spent so long making his…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? We have now been asking each other that question for a total of eleven years now! Not that I was involved at the beginning, but I've been around for a good few years. We usually do an ATC (Artist Trading Card) swap to celebrate the anniversary but…
