I don't see any problem here. I mean, I see a new diversion that will totally take a while to work its way out of my system...but no problem. Unless tassels count as a problem.  But I'm pretty sure we don't live in that world. Pattern (which will include a [...]

I feel some more tiny stuff coming on... I could blame the yarn (A set of Manos's Fino yarn in Dorothea and a skein of Alegria in Natural), or I could blame my remarkably short attention span. But either way, this should be fun. Don't you think? [pextestim pex_attr_set="looking-for-this-pattern" pex_attr_autoplay="false"][/pextestim] [...]

So yarn seems to keep finding me (this is, in large part, because I write to people who make yarn and say 'right, so I have an idea, could I please have some yarn'...it's a good system). This is from SpaceCadet (their Capella base in Dark Skies and Tantrum).  And [...]

So it's not cold yet...not at all.  In fact,I ran the air conditioner yesterday and there's a very good chance I'll run it again today.  But there have been one or two evenings where I found myself thinking 'hmmm, it's a tiny bit chilly, a little extra layer would be nice.' [...]

So last time we looked at yarns...and I said the next step was to swatch and see what I liked. Well the short answer is none of them grabbed me once I started swatching. I even went back to the stash and got two other yarns to see if they [...]

I have the itch to cast on something new, and that generally means a stash dive.  Now, my stash is actually pretty darn small...like three of those midsized storage bins type small (erm...plus a scraps bin with leftover bits)...like you could lay it all out one layer deep on a [...]

Yup, I totally had enough yarn.  I was worried at first, but then there was a bit of knitting and a bit of math, and I felt better.  But even after that it's always a little nerve-wracking when you know you can't get more yarn.  So I was absolutely delighted [...]

We're having a KAL for Scintillation, and I'd be delighted if you joined us!  I find I want to knit a few more of these, but it feels like some sort of breach of etiquette to knit in my own KAL.  So I'm going to pretend that what I'm doing [...]

Ya know how I'm always saying to block your knitting?  Yeah...yeah that's because blocking it smooths out a whole multitude of sins. That's the same yarn, same stitch pattern (though admittedly different needles, I knit the hat a bit looser to maximize yardage), just blocked versus not blocked. Makes a [...]
