Hi, I'm Samm ^-^.
I'm 20, engaged to my wonderful fiancee Dann, studying business, living in a quiet little town outside of Birmingham and I knit.
Here you will find my projects and any knitting porn I find on Tumblr.

Ok so a rather cute guy walking his dog just walked past my window in the most gorgeous fair ilse sweater and I really had to resist the urge not to run out and rip it off him in order to replicate the pattern. Damn my love of jumpers!!

I love how wooden or bamboo needles look. They are very aesthetically pleasing, especially rosewood needles, but my god are they a bitch to knit with. Seriously, sooo not worth it. I’ve tried using bamboo needles and the wool just snagged and it was hard to move the stitches. I don’t get the benefits of them and yet loads of people seem to love them. Can someone please explain this to me?
Sh*t Knitters Say.
Most of this is so very true. And it made me laugh so hard.
That awkward moment when you realise this is you!
You guys need to see this. So cuuute :)
Especially when it’s a p1, k1b and for an entire freaking jumper!
However it’s rowan wool which is beautiful and the jumper is gonna be soooooo nice!

This, exactly this. Except I don’t mind if it’s for friends and they offer to at least pay for the wool and don’t expect it within a certain amount time period or nag me about it!I like to knit. I like to make things mostly for myself, and to learn new techniques and such. It’s a rarity anymore that I make things for people, so when I get ‘you should make me this or that’ it just sets off this serious rage in me that I never knew I had. No, I will not spend my time making something for you for free you fucking stranger on my facebook, get out.
With a passion. I get how they would be brilliant for beginners or maybe people with arthritis cos they are quite forgiving and bendy but the stitches just don’t move and I’ve gotta knit 3 cushion covers on bamboo needles :-( this is why you shouldn’t have so many WIPs you never have the needles you need free!

This makes me sad :-( although tbf I do have a casting on addiction and I am the queen of WIPs. I have almost 10 atm :-S. Right other than this one last Xmas present that I need to start, NO MORE CASTING ON TIL I FINISH AT LEAST HALF MY PROJECTS! (figured I should be slightly realistic)

I don’t know about you guys but I’m starting to panic about christmas knitting. I really need to make a list of all the stuff I need to do. The most important one is the Rock Island Shawl I’m knitting for Dann’s Mom. There is still soooo much to do on it and not a lot of time. This is my progress so far, I’ve just about done the edging, however this one has to live at my Mom’s house in order to make sure my cat doesn’t eat it, she already ruined it once, but that means I barely get to work on it :(
My “I’m in lesbians with you” wool arrived a little while ago. I am absolutely in love with it. It is sooo much better in person. I’m making a cover out of it for my Nexus which is about 90% done, just need to knit the flap with the buttonhole and add the button. Then I’ve got plenty left to make a triangle scarf/shawl thing out of it. I should probably stop looking at LadyPurl’s etsy as she has so many gorgeous geeky inspired yarns. You should check her out!
