The book is set in a futuristic world where Vampires rule. The Vamp’s live in the Inner City while the humans live on the outskirts. Human’s are to be registered and are used as… Read More »Book Review – The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa | Celtic Cast On

I have a soft spot for the Pink Grapefruit colourway and might have gasped when I saw these. Love!! Viki of Ruby in Stitches used Hazel Knits Artisan Sock in the Twilight colourway for her socks. Love the semi solidness of these! Sarah of Wicked… Read More »Business Casual KAL – Prize Alert | Celtic Cast On
I made great progress last week on my socks. I’m cast on one sock in each colourway and have been tandem knitting them back and forth. This method seems to be working out well for me and Iove being able to play with both colours at the same time. I managed to turn the heel of each sock this week. The Tanis Fiber Arts Blue Label in Brick. This colourway… Read More »Business Casual KAL -Travelling Stitch | Celtic Cast On

A gift certificate for the Wandering Cat Yarn’s etsy shop. *Thank you Monika* I didn’t want to make a spontaneous purchase with no project in mind so I held onto the gift certificate and… Read More »Acquisition | Celtic Cast On

Joining Ginny today for Yarn Along Knitting – I started a test for Elena of Anadiomena Designs. This one is similar to her Wild Vanilla pattern that I knit in the summer but this time with a fun kangaroo pocket that I think T will really love. T is finding most wool itchy at the moment, especially Berroco Ultra Alpaca, hopefully she will grow out of this, but for now… Read More »Yarn Along | Celtic Cast On
