Things Men Have Made

Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into

are awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowing

for long years.

And for this reason, some old things are lovely

warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

3 weeks ago by saraphir I’ve started the slow tedious job of reformatting the blog posts on my website so they have the same font and layout.... it’s the big tidy-up from several theme changes over the years and while it feels good to do, it also has to be fuelled by coffee! Last one done is this #starwebsnowflake - and it is also the last item off my hook! The pattern is free on the blog- link in profile.
1 month ago by saraphir Play with colours.... I tend to stick with what I know will sell, but it’s good to have a play around sometimes! The pattern for these #noellababybooties is available in my #etsyshop and #ravelrystore .
3 weeks ago by saraphir I got down to a bit of stockmaking before the holiday.... this is another colour version of my #grannyvictorycowl .... monochrome so often wins! Right now I’m on holiday in the Lake District with family... it’s been a rainy day and it’s time for a snooze now!
1 month ago by saraphir I don’t think I’ll ever tire of this combo - and the yarn is the most ethical ever... beautiful organic handdyed cotton from @nurturingfibres . The pattern for these #happybooties is in my Etsy shop and Ravelry store and the booties are for sale too...

2 weeks ago by saraphir I bumped into Fang and Pointy again whilst on holiday in the Lakes last week. They’re looking well (this is them just made and ready to go) and seemed delighted to be back in Britain! One is them lost a bit of weight though, as he fell into something dirty and needed a bath, but it kind of suits them to not be the same size! I just finished updating the pattern on the blog - it’s still free of course, but donations are welcome!
1 week ago by saraphir I’m still in the process of formatting posts on my blog AND while I’m doing that I’m translating all the patterns that were until now only there in UK terms into US terms as well... it’s a bit of a job, but well worth it! At the same time I’m testing them again, so this version of my #laceflowersquare in #dropsbelle is #hoth ! The pattern for the Lace Flower Square is now on the blog in both UK and US terms, link in profile.
4 weeks ago by saraphir More yarn-loveliness from @nurturingfibres ... I love the mutedness of the colours, it gives a lightness to the booties which you don’t get when the colours are more saturated.... and I just love that it’s organic cotton and handdyed! The pattern is in my Etsyshop and Ravelry Store.
2 weeks ago by saraphir On my hook at the moment is a delightful mixture of stars and snowflakes (when I’m not tweaking websites), all getting ready for Christmas markets and Christmas presents... I know, I’m feeling very organised this year! The pattern for these stars (and the garland) is free on my blog.
1 month ago by saraphir I absolutely love this version of my #grannyvictorycowl by @justpeachycrafts !! Thanks for sharing it! #Repost @justpeachycrafts with @get_repost ・・・ I went to my first Snacks and Stitches night at @fireescapeart tonight! It was so cool to meet other crafters - someone even offered to teach me to spin yarn!! @mollyrfred got me this ADORABLE bag, which is going to be perfect for carrying small projects! Thank you my friend!! And finally. Omg. So excited about how this cowl turned out using a pattern from @saraphir ! I chose to use two colors and mixed it up with two different weights of
