Here we go again
Remember the stash dive the other day? The one that led to a small mountain of fall-colored scraps heaped in a pile in the corner of my office? Yeah. Well those little bits of yarn crept up behind me when I wasn't looking, tripped me, wrestled me into submission, and [...]
Second verse, same as the first
I feel like there should be some way to make 'and then do it all again' more interesting than it is. Now mind you, I haven't found that way. But I do think there should be one. So let's all just sort of communally agree to nod along and pretend [...]
This part’s quick
Once these join up, they zip right along. I'm not sure why I knit faster in the round, but somehow I really really do. This brings up a handy opportunity to be obnoxiously preachy (what fun, I'm sure you're thrilled!). Lots of folks get a different gauge when they knit in [...]
Like a weed
Now you it's time to basically sit back and watch this grow. The sides and bottom of the slipper sort of grow out of the bit on the back. There's a stage there in the middle where it looks a little menacing (lots of needles because the fabric is U-shaped, [...]
A Little Loopy
Sometimes it's the tiniest little details that get something started. I've been wanting some slippers with a little loop on the back for, well, for an awfully long time now. So it was time to finally make that happen. I did a bit of planning and fiddling and got everything [...]
While we’re at it
So, let's fix another hat top while we're at it. Remember how I said I did not madly love the top of the turquoise hat? And how brioche hat tops should be a thing of joy? Yeah. So let's fix it. Here's what it looked like at first. The decrease [...]
Ready for my closeup
This is the knitting equivalent of 'let's zoom in reeeeeeeeal close on your nose and make you feel bad about your pores.' Gather round. See it? I'll sing the 'one of these things is not like the other' song for you in the background. See how on most of the clusters, [...]
Refraction (plus giveaway)
Refraction is out on ravelry, it's 10% off with the code BOUNCE (or you can get it as part of a set for a bigger discount, details on the rav page), and I've got yarn to give away! But first I want to talk about the hat a little. This [...]
On a technicality
So I mean technically this is done. As in 'it's not on the needles any more.' But I'm not loving the top as much as I should. So I'm going to rip back the last dozen or so rounds (yes, on fuzzy yarn, yes, on brioche) and fix it. Because [...]
Squeaking in under the deadline
See, I told you we'd get through this in time! The lovely thing about thick fluffy hats is that they knit up delightfully quickly. Oh and just for the record (because in my mad dash to talk about two hats in a week I think I neglected to mention it), [...]
