Ongoing
This mending thing is an ongoing process. If you were here last spring, you may remember I saved the elbow on an old cotton sweater I wear as pajamas. Well that kept the sweater happily in the rotation for another nine months. But now, the elbow on the other side [...]
Your swatch has the answer
So as always, swatching is informative. That's the short version. The long version goes something like this.⠀ I started with the grey with neon speckles and the blue. It's promising, but I see I'd need a smaller needle (that's a two, and the fabric is too open for what I [...]
Silk Road Socks Individual Patterns
If you've been following along for the last few weeks, you know I am neck deep in a massive shop reorganization. At the beginning of the year, I took my whole ravelry store down (talk about scary). And I've been busy bringing patterns back out as I get them revised [...]
Rummage
Look, sometimes you need a very particular yarn. Or rather, a very particular pair of yarns (thus upping the difficulty level considerably). So the only thing to do is dump out the stash. All of it. In one huge pile. Then dive in. I'm looking for some sort of floofy [...]
Temptation
The temptation to put a stamp and an address on one of these and see what happens if I actually try and mail is very nearly overwhelming. I'm sure it would actually end in heartbreak. There's no way at all that's a good idea. None. Zero. But my goodness it's [...]
My beating heart…
You folks are relentless! Which is, I admit, rather flattering. But still...there were howls of dismay in my inbox this morning. Apparently some folks were awfully sad they couldn't start on these over the weekend. But don't worry, it's all better now! The pattern for Palpitation is back up. It [...]
More of this nonsense
Look, this happens around this time every year. And I should probably keep it quiet and not admit my shameful proclivities. But that's really not my style. Because really...cute, tiny nonsense like this hurts no one. And from what I can tell, there's a pretty decent chance it actually makes [...]
It’s up to you…but I know what I’d do
One of the top three questions I get asked is some version of 'do I haaaaaaaaaaaave to block my knitting?' And the answer is nope, but I really think you should. I'm pretty sure this picture shows you why. The light purple envelope has been blocked. The dark purple one [...]
Catchall
Want to start the new year off with an easy win? Something you can knit in an afternoon with some of those pretty leftovers from the scraps bin? And then use to impose order or bring a bit of joy to some corner of your space? Then I think Catchall [...]
And down!
The very first thing I did this morning was take down my ravelry shop. Here's what it looked like as of 6:03 this morning! Over the course of the year, I'll be adding things back into the shop. By the time you read this, the books will already be back. [...]
