Just about done
Home stretch... The decreases on this are fun. You work them inside the cables (like on Imply and Welter) and it's just a really neat trick to have in your knitting tool kit. It keeps the lines of the cables zipping along perfectly. Plus you'll feel super clever when you do [...]
Playing favorites
I resolutely decline to pick a favorite side. They're both nifty in their own way. And I love how different they look from each other. Sure stitches that look the same on both sides are cool and all...and useful for all sorts of things. But having one that is lovely [...]
Very bad words
See that? See that set of stitches that is very much not involved in the cable? Yeah...that's not supposed to be like that. So we figure out the stitches involved and we rip. Two of the strands are longer because I needed to rip out more stitches there...the rest are [...]
So very very lazy…
I'm no good at row counters. I generally prefer to just count my rows or find some sort of landmark on the stitch pattern I can use instead of counting rows. But, on this hat, it's all cables. And cables are sort of a pain to count rows (you can do [...]
Infer (plus giveaway)
Done with your hat? Need some mitts to match? I've got you covered! Infer is out today on ravelry. You can get it for 10% off with the code CONCLUDE for the next few days. And there’s yarn to give away over on instagram because I know you're madly in love with it the [...]
Left right left
Yeah, I'm over here loving everything about this. I can't decide which side I like better...they're both pretty darn nifty. And don't stress, reversible cables are NOT hard. You know how normally you're working cables over just knit stitches? Like you cross three knits over three knits? Yeah, well if [...]
Yes, another gray hat…it’s a theme
So look...gray hats are apparently just my happy place. It's true and I'm not even going to pretend I'm sorry. At least this one has speckles (Martin's Lab, Bouncy Sport in the color Candy Sparrow)! And is reversible... Which means I will, generally, make some sort of passing attempt to [...]
Field trip
Went on a yarn field trip last week...needed some stuff to play with my newly developed obsession with two color brioche. The dark purple bit of lovely is Shibui Knits' Silk Cloud in Velvet. The fluff in plastic is two disks of Lopi's Plötulopi, one in white and one in purple, [...]
Reminders
This is your occasional reminder to put set your thumb stitches aside on waste yarn (rather than a spare needle or a cable needle) if you have the choice. Yes, that sometimes means finding scissors (to snip off a few inches of the yarn) or a darning needle (to run [...]
Reading assignments
You know that feeling when you walk in to the middle of a conversation and you can tell there's something really important going on and you want to know more...but you can also tell it is not the moment to interrupt and ask someone to catch you up? Yeah. That's [...]
