And done!

The blue hat? The one I suspect I'm not alone in finding unreasonably amusing? Yeah, it's all done.  Now clearly I need to block it. And I need to get it a proper photo shoot.  (Can we talk about the snow? And how the snow is sort of messing with [...]

Just knits and purls (plus giveaway)

You know that thing we tell new knitters when we're trying to be reassuring?  That thing about how knitting is just knits and purls (and that really those are just the two sides of the same stitch)?  And that's true.  Of course it is. But there's also that thing that [...]

Yes, more swatches

The lovely Manos yarn from the other day? That orange and gray goodness? Yeah it's turning into swatches. Swatches that are sort of amusing on the back side (that orange stuff will totally unzip from the gray background if you tug the orange strand...which serves no function at all but [...]

Consilience (plus giveaway)

Sometime last week the blog turned nine.  I assure you I'm every bit as surprised as you are, but it really does seem to be true.  So, to those of you who have been with me from the beginning, and to those of you who are just joining me now, [...]

No really…I mostly just swatch

I've done you a disservice.  I got all distracted showing this particular bit of fluff off on instagram and sort of forgot to show it off here too (I know, I find it odd too...but your best chance of seeing all the things these days is to keep an eye [...]

I didn’t forget

Remember the other day when we talked about the...ah...let's go with 'generous' amount of swatching that comes before a project?  And I showed you all the swatches that happened before the blue hat leapt into being?  And remember that gray swatch at the top that a bunch of you liked? [...]

Last call

You know how I have that lovely little cowl set up as a freebie for folks on my mailing list? Well it's about to go away.  Now before you get sad, know that it's going away so that I can put a shiny new pattern up for mailing list folks [...]

Nearly there…

The blue hat? The one that seems to be either seed pods or bug wings or fruit cross sections or about thirty other things depending on who you ask? Yeah, that's coming along nicely. The decreases are, as always, deeply satisfying. And the crown on this one is going to [...]

I get the best mail

I've been busily working along on Curls 3.  I've got a giant bucket full of finished pieces just waiting to be blocked and photographed (once the snow is melted and the leg gets a tiny bit better...taking photos is surprisingly physical, and doing it on a slightly wobbly leg is [...]
