Ready, set, go
And so it begins... Now, as knitters all know, if you're worried about running out of yarn, the trick is to knit really fast so you outrun the end. Totally valid approach...not at all insane, sure to work. Now, to be fair, I'm also doing things like not using a [...]
Props
So you know I've been feeling the slipper love lately. They really are fun to knit (and wear...and don't try and convince me you don't need a slipper wardrobe because I just won't believe you). But taking pictures of them has always been a little tricky. I used a pair [...]
Swatches swatches lots and lots of swatches
So that book? The one I was flashing about the other day? Yeah, one of the things in is is a mini stitch dictionary. As I was working out the stitches I used in the patterns, I did lots of swatching. And while I did eventually have to pick one [...]
Remember these?
I have a bin on my office bookshelf of Things To Be Photographed. It's where stuff I'm done knitting but can't yet wear because I haven't taken pics of it yet hangs out while I get my act together. And sometimes...sometimes things hang out in there way too long. A [...]
Calceiform (plus giveaway)
So those slippers? The ones that somehow manage to make even my somewhat...ah...substantial feet look very nearly shapely and elegant? Yeah, they're called Calceiform, and they're out on ravelry today! You can get them for 10% off for the next day or two with the code SHAPELY. I just love how [...]
More “avoiding shopping” than “mending”
So have I mentioned that I really really really hate shopping? And how I hate clothes shopping most of all? I work for myself, from home, in the middle of nowhere, and yes I work in my pajamas like 98% of the time. And by pajamas, I mostly mean 'things [...]
One slipper, two slipper
The slippers are officially done. Toes and all, even the ends are woven in. They're fresh off the blockers (aka giant plastic feet...I have a bucket of them for displaying socks, and I use them to block slippers, but you could use regular sock blockers too if your closets are [...]
Schemes and plots
So remember how I was sort of obsessed with the little pull through stitches? The ones I used on Constellate and Sidereal and Ecliptic and Ephemeris? The ones that make such lovely, textured fabric and that are more fun than they have any right to be? Yeah...yeah well it seems [...]
Bigger bigger ever bigger
Decreases done, all joined up to work in the round, and now it flies. These go together the same way the Quiescent slippers from a few years ago did, though these won't need a strap (some day I'm going to revisit straps on slippers though...there's more to be done there). [...]
Purportedly
So it seems I couldn’t stop with just the hat, I needed some cuffs too. They’re called Purportedly, they’re out now, and you can them get 10% off with the code SUPPOSED (but read on, because if you want the matching hat, you can do something cooler). Yup, that lovely netting has me [...]
