Mosaic & Lace Knits (review and giveaway)
So have you noticed how I tend to say things like 'don't worry, it's not really colorwork' or 'it's ok, you only ever work with one yarn at once' when I talk about my projects? Yeah, that's because I'm sort of scared of having to manage two strands of yarn [...]
Ensnared (plus giveaway)
Do you realize how long it's been since we had a shiny new sock pattern around here? It was back in November. That's just not cool! We need more socks, and I think Ensnared are just the ticket. That's a nice classic sock to jump back in with, isn't it [...]
Good Mail (yes, more!)
This really is one of the most enjoyable parts of any book...the yarn shower that comes at the beginning... Because really, how could you not love finding that in your mailbox? That's the Magnificent DK base from Knit Circus in their Brass and Steam colorway, with an extra skein of [...]
Once you pom…
Sorry folks, didn't mean to leave you hanging on the pom pom front! The first round went pretty well. Though I did learn a few things. Namely, you want to fill that pom pom maker up as full as you can, and you want to be nice and tidy and [...]
Woven
I'm loving how this is shaping up. Once you're done with the colored bit on the brim, you don't actually ever make another knit stitch with the contrast yarn. You just weave it in and out of the stitches knit with the gray yarn. For some reason this both entertains [...]
Good Mail (again!)
The yarn for Curls 3 keeps coming, and I swear I'm starting to worry the postman...all that squealing and jumping around is bound to scare the nice man. But really, can you blame me? Wouldn't you make a bit of a scene if this showed up in your mailbox? That's [...]
Underway
So you saw the swatches the other day, and here's how it's shaping up. There's no way to make a few rows of stockinette all that interesting...so I'll distract you with the purple hat (Entrapment, that one's out now) and the pink hat (out soonish...probably) instead. Then you join in [...]
This should be fun
So I keep seeing folks putting adorable pom poms on top of hats. And I have sort of a lot of hats. And now? Now I also have a pom pom maker... I have this one, which makes what they call large pom poms, but there are lots of other [...]
Compunction (plus giveaway)
Ok...moment of truth here...think about your stash. Do you have a skein of sock yarn you just know isn't going to become socks? I suspect you do, and I have a feeling Compunction might be just the thing to do with it! Now I want to be clear...just because a [...]
This is why we swatch
So every now and then, some lovely person says 'oh, all your knitting is so pretty.' And that's very very kind, but it's also totally not true. A fair bit of my knitting actually looks like absolute trash. It's just that I usually go through that stage while I'm swatching, [...]
