I'm selling pieces from the Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books to raise money for Black Lives Matter and the Equal Justice Initiative. I'm starting with the Fucus asparagoides Shawl from The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume III. I just adore the shape of this shawl. It sits on your shoulders just so, [...]

Let's raise some money for folks doing good work.⁠ ⁠ I have a stack of pieces from the Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books. But those books are out of print, so I don't do trunk shows for them, so I don't need the samples anymore. Let's auction them off & send [...]

The individual patterns from all three volumes of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet are out! You can take 10% off the individual patterns or the complete books with the code CURIOUS. Or, if you want all three books, you can use the code QUITE CURIOUS to get the whole set for [...]

The hat clearly needed some mitts to go with it. These are Incorrigible, they're every bit as fun as the hat, and they're up on ravelry today. All the things I said about the hat? About how it breaks all the supposed rules of colorwork but still comes out just [...]
