So many swatches
You're probably getting sick of seeing these, but they're really all I'm knitting these days, so you'll just have to make do. I promise I'll get something else on the needles as soon as a few more of these are safely off in the hands of knitters! But for now, [...]
More incoming…
So at some point here I should probably start talking in detail about Silk Road Socks and how it will be out next month and how it's full of lovely things and how I very much hope you will like it as much as I do. But for right now, [...]
Incoming
So, I know you though my mailbox was already just about the happiest place it could be (what with all the delightful Curls 3 yarn coming in). But no...no it gets better. The actual pieces themselves have started coming in too! Take a look at this. That's the Cheshire Cat [...]
So when I say I knit a lot of swatches
Yeah...so about that swatching thing...I really do mean it. And right now, I'm hard at work on Curls 3 swatches. That's one little doodle with one of the lovely Varigradients from Seven Sisters Arts. The yarn is perfect, the stitch is fun, but I'm not 100% sure I'm sold on [...]
Keepsies (plus giveaway)
Every now and then you stumble across an opinionated skein of yarn...a skein of yarn that wants to be knit in stockinette and simply will not take no for an answer. I happened upon a skein like that, and Keepsies is the result! So I'm not going to lie. This [...]
Oddly Satisfying
So it's done, and it would be a lie to say I enjoyed knitting it (though really...that's probably the case for about half the things I knit...I just get bored half way through no matter what), but I do like how it came out. And I know I will like [...]
Coming soon…
So you remember the marble hat? The one that's so cheerful it will pretty much slap you in the face? Well it will be out next week (I normally do pattern releases on Tuesdays, but next Tuesday is a holiday in the states, so I'm doing it Wednesday instead). Here's [...]
Uncharacteristic
So something odd has happened. I assure you no one is as surprised as I. That's a garter stitch rectangle. Well no, that started life as a linen stitch rectangle, but knitting linen stitch with actual linen is a surefire way to go mad, so it made the transition to [...]
They get to decide
When I was in college I took a history of religions class. On the very first day, the professor declared (repeatedly and emphatically) that we would absolutely positively not under any circumstances be offering our own opinions on whether one group or another were 'really' any particular religion. The official [...]
More Swatches
No really...swatches are all I'm knitting these days. I've probably explained this before, but for me a book usually goes 1) have an idea, 2) source yarn, 3) swatch and write patterns, 4) send yarn and patterns off to magical stunt knitters to turn into projects, 5) get the patterns [...]
