Lack of Blogging


Posted by Dee under admin

I apologize for the lack of blogging lately, I have been busy working on two projects at the moment, and now I am getting ready for our trip to New York next week. I have been busy planning our visit, mapping out some walks, booking restaurants and reading up about places to see.

Of course, as a knitter I am planning a trip to Purl Soho (now in their new location), and I was over the moon to discover it is within walking distance of the Magnolia Bakery so I can enjoy my two favourite things yarn and cupcakes!

Welcome


Posted by Dee under admin

I can spend hours online browsing blogs, looking for recipes, reading about real-life parties or examining tutorials for new crafts. Always thinking I could do that! However, in reality living in the UK I seem to hit dead ends. It took me months to realise what “heavy cream” was, and I can’t pop to Wal-mart to buy supplies.

A few years ago I started a blog to show off my knitting projects, it started as a place for me to chat about my progress and very quickly it introduced my to numerous bloggers, online yarn stores, hundreds of websites for tutorials or new techniques. Most importantly it introduced me to a world of UK based crafters, knitters in my area, I could socialize with whilst enjoying my hobby, and yarn producers from all areas of the British Isles.

I am hoping this blog will serve as a similar device, introducing me to UK based bloggers, new stores and opening doors to a new community on my journey to becoming a domestic goddess.
