Paper House

November 3, 2018 by The Twisted Yarn 41 Comments

I want to show you something handmade that's exquisitely beautiful, even though it has nothing to do with yarn. It's a perfect replica of our brewery home, made with paper by the artist-craftswoman, Silvina De Vita, aka My Papercut Forest. There's even a light inside, too! How stunningly beautiful is this piece? I'll scatter photos of it lit and unlit throughout this post, but first, a bit of backstory... A year(ish) ago, I went to London to be filmed for an episode of the BBC television Continue Reading

I usually just post stuff like this at my garden account - @the.twisted.garden - but I thought you might appreciate the colour. 
.
Love this time of year, because there are so many different crops to be picked. Today: cabbage, beans, peas, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, patty pan squash, opium poppies (for seed), plums, Japanese wineberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Yum.

Cutting the steek on a swatch. I promise that it's way less scary than some people think!

Just got home from a really intense work-day down the psychology mines, only to discover these wonderful socks that the ever-awesome @buttonspickles knitted for me. They are very beautiful and very cosy, and the yarn is the colourway that I designed for Stylecraft, i.e. Head Over Heels in the shade 'Saltaire'. (I don't think Stylecraft sells it any more.) But these socks are just perfect and I love them and I'm feeling very grateful for my friends. ❤

Decent weather for a run. Yes I do occasionally put my knitting down. The colours of this view are a statement, too.

OK then, here are the grapevine socks that I designed for the latest knitting box by @littleboxofcrochet . I also designed some striped socks, in case stranded isn't your thing. 
.
Amanda is a genius at putting together exquisitely beautiful boxes full of beauty and treats. It's been a big yarny honour to design for her.

Someone's beginning to get her red breast feathers. ❤ Unlike Robyn-the-robin and Robinson, this one isn't interested in mealworms. Instead she follows me so closely around the garden that I often nearly step on her. As I pull up weeds and move pots around, she darts in to grab caterpillars and other critters. Sometimes, one of the twinnage comes to tell me that she's waiting by the back door, so I have to go and do a bit of weeding, just to please her. So once again, I'm being bossed about by somebody three inches tall. *sigh*

The secret-squirrel knitting I've been doing lately? Well I can now reveal that the fabulous @littleboxofcrochet asked me to create two designs for their July box. 
.
This was a ginormous honour, because their boxes are unfailingly luscious. I've loved being involved with the project, and I hope you'll enjoy the result! Don't think I'm allowed to spoil the surprise of box contents quite yet, but I'll show you soon when I can.

In today's edition of never-not-knitting, I had a spare half hour between appointments in Oxford, so I went to #wolvercotelakes. Love this place, but I hadn't been for ages. Lots of dragonflies and damselflies and butterflies.

This is going to sound like a paid advert, but I swear that it's not. I've just stumbled across a website called @YarnSub and it's awesome! You can enter the name of any yarn and it'll give you the best possible substitutions with a % match score based on gauge, texture, fibre, etc. See https://yarnsub.com and enjoy!
