Teazle (plus giveaway)
Teazle is out today on ravelry, it's 10% off with the code PRICKLY, and there's yarn to give away later in this post! So you knew it was going to happen...one day I was going to fall for brioche. And wow did I fall hard. This is my first brioche [...]
Frolic
Turns out, there's yarn to be had at the Fiber Frolic. Lovely gray speckled yarn (that's June Pryce Fiber Art's Greenwich Worsted base in the color Stormy Days). And lovely purple yarn (that's Shirsty Cat Designs' BFL Sock base in the color Frission). And seriously...this is exactly the color my [...]
I mean is it old? Or is it a classic?
So if you were to show up at my house (don't...it would be weird) and start digging around in my office baskets looking for the oldest project languishing there waiting for some attention (really don't...that would move from weird into totally unacceptable, I'd ask you to leave), you'd eventually find [...]
All out of willpower
I've been so good. Really, I have. I've had a pile of yarns for the next book for ages now, and I haven't pestered you with them hardly at all. But I'm all out of will power. Because you see, yesterday I spent the morning grubbing around on the rocks [...]
Pretty sure I didn’t screw it up…
And, with that, it's done! That's my first proper brioche project, and I couldn't be more smitten. I mean it is perfect for me because it's orange (automatic ten bonus points) and super stretchy (have I mentioned I have a big head?). But I'm absolutely tickled with it even beyond [...]
I mean I suppose technically it’s more ribbing…
So now we're at the bit where I more or less...well...have to knit ribbing again. And I'm not quite sure why an inch of ribbing at the bottom, before the fun bits, feels like endless purgatory, but three inches of ribbing at the top feels like zipping towards the finish. [...]
Sundry
You knew it was coming! Sundry is out today on ravelry, and it's 10% off with the code STRIPES (or you can get Various and Sundry together for a special discount too, details of that on each pattern's ravelry page). So all the stuff I said about the hat? The [...]
Clicking along
Yup, I'm smitten. I mean I'll fully admit that I'm easily smitten. It's part of the reason I can do this job, I'm easily infatuated with whatever is on my needles at the moment. But this is really rather delightful! [pextestim pex_attr_set="looking-for-this-pattern" pex_attr_autoplay="false"][/pextestim]
Oops
Yeah, so I got some yarn. I told you I've been stress buying yarn. I was down in Portland last month and stopped into KnitWit and found three amazing (and new-to-me) yarns that had to follow me home. That purple bit of lovely on the left is Knerd String's DK [...]
The fun bits
The ribbing is never my favorite bit. In fact, the ribbing is the bit I sternly make myself do because I know I will like wearing the finished thing better as a result. But really...my heart is in it for the swirly middle bits. Though to be fair, I was [...]
