Schemes
Sometimes? Sometimes you know someone well enough that when they say 'hey, I have an idea' you don't even have to hear all the details before you say yes. So when Karen over at Seven Sisters Arts said she wanted to do something suitably valentine-ish, I was in. Yarn showed [...]
Additions
Ahem...did I hear that some of you wanted a lighthouse to go with your wee, tiny villages? Because I'm pretty sure my wee, tiny village is a seaside sort of place, and nothing says lovely but slightly foreboding like a light house. We will be having a whole discussion about [...]
Smug
How about an action shot of the finished product. Well, if by action shot, you mean 'peak coziness' shot, not any sort of actual industrious striding about doing things. And again, if I'd done the mending (and extra padding) with yarns that were a closer color match, these would be [...]
Further improvements
Ok, so there's the first one done! You can see I ended up doing a second area of duplicate stitch, but it's a little funny looking. That's because, when I handed them back to their owner for a fit check, the heel was declared delightfully cushiony...and now that it [...]
And repeat…
Now we settle in for the actual mending. But first things first, I was not in charge of this color selection. The original yarn is long gone, so I asked the sock's owner if we should go with as close a match as possible, or something super high contrast. [...]
Venerable
Mending time! But first, before you start mending, a little bit of prep work is in order. Actually, we need to take an even bigger step back. This is probably the very oldest knitting I've ever shown around these parts. These socks are from 2008. You know, back when we [...]
Quiescent
I told you I wouldn't keep you waiting for long! Quiescent is back, you can find it on either ravelry or payhip, and you can use the code CINDERELLA to take 10% off for the first few days it's out. Did you ever knit a thing that is just an [...]
Strappy
These are cute on their own. But the strap? The strap makes them ridiculous. See? I told you the strap took it from completely reasonable and acceptable levels of cuteness to frankly absurd borderline illegal levels of cuteness. Every time. The updated pattern for these will be out here [...]
Make two
You'll forgive me if I mostly take a shortcut and say 'hey, look, second slipper...pretty much the same as the first slipper' and mostly leave the details to your imagination. I trust you can handle it!
Flat
Does it look too weird flat? Sometimes this stuff looks weird flat and makes more sense on something foot shaped. Let's borrow a pretend foot for a minute and see if that helps give the idea. Someone always always always asks, so the thing the knitting is on is called [...]
