Silk Road Socks Q&A
So...ready for the next book? Silk Road Socks is coming out next week! I'll go into all the details of the preorder later this week, but for now I wanted to answer any questions you might have about the book itself. Let's see how many of them I can guess! [...]
All this stockinette
I know. I'm as surprised as you are. Normally getting me to knit stockinette is like getting me to deep clean the basement (only under duress, and only if I have something else I'm trying really hard to put off). But lately? Lately I'm starting to see the appeal. I [...]
I got distracted
I had the best of intentions. I really did. The green hat was on the needles and chugging along just fine. But then I had a different idea. And then there was this. And this. Oh and this. And now we're over here. These things happen...it's unavoidable. And I promise [...]
I have an unhealthy relationship with blocking…
More pieces for Curls 3 have started to come in, and I love each and every one. I cannot wait to get them properly blocked and show off their full glory. But until then, you'll have to be content with a little peek at them fresh off the needles. That's [...]
Caterpillar
I have set the facecloth aside. It's not that I don't like it...it's that if I had to knit one more inch of flat, beige, garter stitch I'd do something injudicious. I needed some color, and some wool, and something a bit more engaging. So there was some swatching. And [...]
Tantamount (plus giveaway)
I hear from you guys over and over that what you're really looking for in a sock is something that's mellow enough to be relaxing knitting, but with enough going on to look pretty and hold your attention. Well if that's what you're into, I think Tantamount could be just [...]
AlterKnit (review and giveaway)
I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to just jump in to new projects without much in the way of advance planning. I find if I spend too much time researching something ahead of time, I'm apt to convince myself it's too hard and just not do [...]
Rainbows
So normally, I'm very nearly brutal about throwing away yarn leftovers. I rarely use them, so I just don't keep them. But I have this thing where I sort of love to make little mini skeins from all of the yarns I use in book projects. I tell myself it's [...]
Upcoming
So you know those socks? The gray swoopy ones from back here? Well, they went and changed colors on us... And somehow morphed into two variations on the theme... Because really, who doesn't like options! And they'll be out at the beginning of August. If you're on the mailing list, [...]
I’m sensing a theme
So yeah...things have been a tiny bit busy (finalizing patterns for Curls 3...getting ready for Silk Road Socks launch...oh yeah and another slightly terrifying project I'll tell you about some time later this summer if it doesn't do me in first). And that means I am not doing nearly enough [...]
