		<title>Gauging my disappointment &#8211; sweater disaster.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought it was about time I put my twisty yarn around needles antics towards making something wholly encompassing and warm &#8211; a new sweater.  It&#8217;s something that I always meant to do but never actually got around to doing &#8211; too much risk, too much time, too big a chance of failure.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Curious Tale of Being Buttonless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I couldn&#8217;t find a pair of buttons that I liked enough to provide a contrast to my hat, yet still compliment the design, nor blend in colour with the yarn to a degree that I found pleasing to the eye.  Everything was too brash, under-saturated, or too cool a yellow to look nice.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>New hat &#8211; off the needles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have finished the knitting of my new hat, so now all that stands between its current state and completion is to weave in the ends, sew on the buttons and give it a god block.  Actually, no &#8211; block the hat and make some buttons, then sew the buttons on.  Either way, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wool and water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alice in Wonderland is probably my second favourite1 book of all time, and definitely my most repeatedly read.  I must have read it twice a year for a long stretch of my youth, so any new film adaptation is likely to at least pique my interest. Naturally a book so rich in imagery and [...]]]></description>

		<title>New colour knits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been wearing the hat of much blue-ness over the last few days, every time I have popped out on errands, piling what might otherwise be messy hair inside and out of sight.  Ah, hats, the lazy/busy person&#8217;s friend.
I don&#8217;t know if I like the colour, still, but I can appreciate that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>I lost it, so naturally I now love it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the continuing saga of the Blue Winter hat&#8230;
Yesterday, I bundled the hat into a box containing a few items such as my camera, etc, and hid it away in my suitcase.  When looking through this same box this morning the hat was gone. Did I not love it enough, causing the knitting gnomes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hat finished and buried. Not knitting.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hat is finally complete!  Complete and out of sight.  Buried, in a box.  A box in my suitcase.  And why do I want the hat out of my sight for a little while?  Let me recap a paragraph from yesterday&#8217;s blog post:
Secondly, I have never knit a slouchy hat, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrills and pills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Blue Winter hat is gathering pace as it approaches the finishing post.  Despite being a nice, simple hat, this project represents a few minor firsts for me.  For a start, I never knit with, or wear, blue.  So, why did I buy this yarn?  It was really cheap in a local closing down sale [...]]]></description>

		<title>Travel knitting &#8211; live train blogging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is very little I dislike more than the apparent joys of travel.  I hate packing bags, forgetting important things, lifting, pulling or otherwise mobilising heavy luggage amassed mostly of completely pointless and bulky objects.  I dislike being without my home comforts and the things people, and places that make me happy.
So, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>New balls, please</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emergency yarn from the Bay of E has arrived.
I couldn&#8217;t source a ball from the same dye-lot as the two I was originally knitting the hat with, and this salvage skein is significantly different in tone, hue and saturation from the original, and even the sheen of the yarn is different.  The blue of the [...]]]></description>
