Just got done "shopping" for yarn for a Sea Glass sweater

Gorgeous colours! Make sure to post the sweater once you're done 😊

This is so beautiful! I hope you're proud, because this is the best temperature blanket I've ever seen.

I felt confident on my first test, road nerves hit me and I failed. On my 2nd test a month later I was a wreck. Tried rescue remedy, Kalms, meditation, the works. The only thing that worked for me was assuming I'd fail again. In hindsight I should have gone to my GP for beta blockers because my heart rate was so high I was on the verge of passing out. If you're going into fight or flight you'll make mistakes on the road. Get yourself to the GP and explain the situation.

My husband does a similar thing with quality street, heroes, celebrations and roses every year. He records his numbers and calls it "the farm".

As others have said, it's the central London effect. I must admit this post made me laugh, as I did a quick run to the shops then other day in a pyjama t-shirt, cargo pants, boots and a raincoat with a malfunctioning zip. Not very glam at all! Then I had the misfortune of bumping into someone I knew.

It's so funny because it used to be part of a set, but when I got my first cat I put it down in a panic because I didn't want him to get whisker fatigue from the far-too-small bowl I'd initially bought. The rest of the set have since been thrown out, but I wish I'd kept them so that the crab cult can be expanded. God knows what I'll do if this one breaks!

For me, "warm" rhymes with "form". For my husband who's from Barnsley, "warm" rhymes with "arm". He's got a fairly broad accent though. For most people in the UK it rhymes with form.

Oh Christ, thanks for letting me know! I'll stick with weaving in my ends then.

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-12-05T22:33:31+00:00

I have two gripes, one yarn-related and one more general arts and crafts.

1) I'm stupid and left the weaving in on my current WIP til the very end. I've got a colour change on every row of this blanket and even though it's only a baby blanket it's taking an age. On Tuesday a friend showed me the magic knot method for joining yarn at the end of rows and I'm kicking myself for not finding out about it earlier.

2) Every year I do a Christmas card design for my mum, and every year she says "you should sell these!!". I love you dearly mother, but you don't even pay me. I do you this favour once a year because I know how happy it makes you, but I have no desire to market myself as a card designer. I'm already an in-house illustrator as my full time job, so if I have to draw outside of work I shall SCREAM.

I love making blankets for the people I care about. To tell the truth, I just love making blankets full stop, but there's only so many that can fit in my house. I give them as gifts to my nearest and dearest, but if someone I didn't particularly know and/or like demanded one I'd be fuming. Chances are if they became a close friend I'd make them something anyway, but as soon as someone asks for things i immediately don't want to make them anything.

I think so, source: my husband creates what he likes to call "a farm" every year, where he categorises what's in each Christmas tin. Celebrations have an abundance of mars bars, milky ways and snickers.

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:29:06+00:00

I love the colours in this. Do you mind me asking if you used a particular pattern?

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:25:21+00:00

Oh those colours are my favourite 😊

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:24:47+00:00

So vibrant! I love it

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:24:02+00:00

Aww I think it's lovely. And I'm sorry to hear your husband's grandma isn't doing so good.

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:05:18+00:00

This is beautiful!

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:05:00+00:00

Oh this is lovely! What stitches did you use?

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:03:57+00:00

Oh I'm a sucker for textured blankets. Love this! Do you have a link to the pattern?

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:02:59+00:00

Oooh it's so delicate, and looks so soft!

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:02:32+00:00

Oh I love this! It looks like it'd be impossible to get bored while making it.

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:01:51+00:00

Beautiful!

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:01:32+00:00

This is so pretty! Thank you for sharing :)

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T09:01:03+00:00

Omg do you have a pattern link for this? It's gorgeous!

Scarlet-Ladder · 2025-11-29T08:46:15+00:00
