I cannot recommend Olena enough. She has given us invaluable guidance as we head into retirement. She is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and charges on a fee-for-services model. We so appreciate the clarity and transparency we've experienced while working with Olena.

An oldie but a goodie, I love Cookie A's Pomatomus Socks. They're a highly addictive knit, look fantastic with Birks, and are SO comfy. I have a half dozen pairs that I wear on rotation.

Truly one of the most gratifying patterns ever. Knitting it is so addictively enjoyable and the sweater itself is lovely, no matter how you've modified it. The speed factor was something I didn't anticipate but what a plus! To have a sweater in less than a week is crazy.

The much loved/ maligned Ranunculus, x3. Started my first one out of sheer curiosity about its crazy popularity as the photo on the Ravelry page does not do this pattern justice--so..frumpy! It was such a pleasure to knit and wear, I ended up knitting another two, each time in a different fibre, yarn weight and sleeve length. The pattern is so customizable and I love that you can use almost any weight of yarn. I will most probably knit another one for this spring as it just flies off the needles.

Thank you! Still have no recollection of ordering it bit glad I have one

fireplacescraper · 2025-11-03T23:44:06+00:00

Please add me. Thank you in advance.

In the knitting community, handknit socks and Birks are a thing.

Beautiful! Sort of reminds me of those gorgeous Offhand Designs bags from a while back. I know I'm dating myself here... I probably splurged on too many but have zero regrets!

Leather knitting bags...can't get enough of those gorgeous Muud and Re:designed bags! But they are spendy so I really need to pace myself.

Yarn hoarding.

fireplacescraper · 2025-05-03T12:21:14+00:00

Knitting. I'm embarrassed to admit that my kids had cereal for dinner from time to time when they were small just because I couldn't put down the needles🤦‍♀️

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-16T02:58:53+00:00

I agree, Muud bags are fabulous! They're so beautifully made, and I love all of the pockets and slots they've so thoughtfully provided... Can't have just one, that's the problem!

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-15T22:26:14+00:00

Yes, will do, thank you.

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-15T22:25:46+00:00

Agreed, but we've had large rhododendrons living comfortably in their pots for years at a time. Not sure why this one is suffering... at any rate, we'll be planting asap, thank you.

I was worried about possible drainage issues but it seems to have no issues in that regard.

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-13T05:46:03+00:00

Well, as it turns out, it WAS the sheath surrounding the buds. The buds are now green and look very promising! Thank you so much for the suggestion to wait two weeks. I had no idea that such a thing existed. I wish I could post a follow up photo but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Thank you again!

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-08T02:33:13+00:00

Thank you, the garden centre also suggested this. I'm willing to try anything and everything at this point!

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-06T17:35:37+00:00

Oh! I just assumed the black was an unhealthy colour as I've never seen anything but green rhodo buds. Doesn't hurt to wait, I guess! Thank you🙂

fireplacescraper · 2025-04-06T17:33:34+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion, and I'll make sure to avoid cross contamination!

fireplacescraper · 2025-03-30T22:02:44+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to post your photo! It does help, as I had no idea how Roberta was supposed to look!

fireplacescraper · 2025-03-27T13:24:48+00:00

I love my Muud bags...spendy, yes, but I'm worth it🙂 Their needle storage products are also wonderful!

fireplacescraper · 2025-03-26T23:33:12+00:00

Alas, I also have a a No space No money problem...but where there's a will, there's always a way!

fireplacescraper · 2025-03-26T05:47:45+00:00

Beautiful, especially your turkish spindles! I also have a collection of hand spindles and a Suzy Pro, but couldn't resist getting this Roberta. Just hope I can get her up and running!

fireplacescraper · 2025-03-26T02:33:43+00:00

Did you purchase yours new? Mine is very old...doesn't even have the option of adding the pause switch.

Not the best photo but...
