Once more with feeling
I mean...I fear there's not that much to say... Yup, still pretty. Still madly in love with that thumb. Yup, still digging the gradients (Freia Handpaint's Sport Ombre in the color Flare...nifty nifty NIFTY stuff). Still all on track to have this show up on ravelry on the 21st! And [...]
Dive in
Perhaps you remember the other day? When I was very very very mean and told you that there was a decent chance that some of the reason you 'could never do that' was because you kept telling yourself you can't? Right...so let's talk about that some more. Earlier this year, [...]
Probably going to want two
Mitt the first is done! And mitt the second is underway. This is my second time doing this long color progression thing on mitts (first was Infer), and I suspect it won't be the last. There's a tiny part of my brain that says but...but...but...it's not absolutely 100% perfectly symmetric. [...]
Long color change yarns versus thumbs
So we talked about this once before. When you have a long color change yarn, and you're knitting a mitt with a thumb, you have to make a little decision there in the middle. Normally, you (or at least I...) make a mitt by knitting a tube (for your wrist), [...]
Various (plus giveaway)
Various is out, it's 10% off with the code STARBURST, and I'm not even going to pretend I don't love it to bits. If you've been here a while, you know I'm not inclined to proper colorwork. I can do it. I have done it. But it's not my happy [...]
Edgy
So let's talk edges. A few of the folks testing this mentioned they like ribbed brims better than rolled brims. And while I am a sucker for a good rolled brim (or maybe it's just that my eyes start to cross if I have to knit too much ribbing...), I can totally [...]
In which I try to be careful and reasonable, but will probably mess it up somehow
There's another one of those big, swirly (slightly messy) conversations happening over on instagram, this time on pattern prices and designer earnings. And those are good things to talk about! But the conversation is happening largely in instagram stories. And that's great if it works for you and how you [...]
Show off
Ok, I'm not even going to manage to feign a becoming level of modesty on this one. Because this one is just unspeakably nifty. Look at that. That's just flat out delightful. And it's weirdly fun to knit too! And no...no you probably don't spend much time staring at the [...]
Out of character
I've been on a yarn buying binge lately. Normally I'm shockingly circumspect in what I buy (no really...don't make that face...it's true...I promise). But some combination of spring (finally finally spring) and stress (we're entering week four of renovations on the house after the burst water pipe back in November...my house has [...]
All better
Just a few more rows... And then a little taper at the top (mostly because picking up a whole row of stitches straight is a pain, so I decided I'd just decrease it away and make a curve)... And it's done! Oh, and then at the end I noticed the [...]
