A Ribbed Scarf

This winter I've been knitting a scarf with 'Pamola Tweed' wool by Debbie Bliss.

It's £6.95 for 50g (You can find it using this link) but totally worth it! So soft and also washable! I used 7 balls for this scarf with 9mm knitting needles. The recommended for this wool is 10mm but I wanted the knit a little more tight. It's a pretty simple scarf- just two purl and knit.

There's lots of videos on YouTube- which is how I learnt. Just type in 'Ribbed Knitting'.

With my tail between my legs...

A few months back, shortly after the renovation of my photography website and blog, I told myself and everybody else that this trustworthy blog was no longer in use. However, I miss it. And I miss the guilt free posting of whatever creative Wotsits I fancied posting about.
My photo site shall be my photo site and from here on up I shall be posting creative Wotsits to my hearts content!
Starting with a couple of cushions I created; a girly one for me and a not-so-girly-one-but-still-quite-girly-one for my boyfriend!

New Website and Blog

For anybody that reads the riffraff I spout out on here - I am now spouting out riffraff on a wordpress blog instead. It's connected to my brand spanking new website which I am ever so fond of and I will be making much more of an effort to keep good care of my posts.

New Ideas for Eleanor Joy Photography

This time last year I was putting together an album for a couple and decided to get it printed with one of those companies that do wedding albums online.

It cost around £370... And it was a nice album but not quite as nice as a handmade, one of a kind, BESPOKE wedding album... so I got the idea of designing and creating my own.

We were taught about book binding at university and quite a few visiting lecturers discussed it... so I tried it. And failed. And then I tried again. And failed. And then gave up and asked for help from a colleague at the art shop. So we went to her studio and I looked at her work and decided that I am never again going to attempt making another wedding album because her skills are amazing and she has agreed to create a sample one!!!

I am so excited about this concept and I really really hope it works out...

These are few books she's already created...
