Oh hey look, more swatches
Yup, somehow there are more. I think I've found a stitch I like...this is both cute and awfully fun to do. But I'm hesitant to use that yarn combo (it's yarn from two different companies, and I'm trying to lean towards using yarns from the same company in any one [...]
Swatches…that’s really the secret
I'm liking this stripes that don't look like stripes / things that aren't colorwork but look like colorowork thing (like the purple and gray hat you've been seeing). So I'm playing with another version of it. And another... Neither of these are quite where I'll end up, but they are [...]
Soon…
So you'll have to forgive me if things are a tiny bit quiet around here for the next few days. It's just about photo shoot time. And, unlike most photo shoots (where I pack up the knitting and leave the house and am done in a day), this one is [...]
Clipping along
The hat is done. And with any luck at all, the cold that kept things quiet around here for the last few days is done too. Now clearly this needs to be blocked, but I'm rather pleased with it. And, in a stunning fit of uncharacteristic forethought, I actually took [...]
Damn damn damn
Do you see what I see? Right there? Middle row of Vs? Just to the left of center? See how two of them aren't twisted at the top. Yeah. Yeah that's no good at all. That has to be fixed. But there's no chance I'm ripping all that back. So [...]
Go away I’m knitting
I'm having a hard time putting this down. It's so pretty (and so ridiculously fun to do) that all I want to do is work on it. Alas, I'm supposed to do things like sleep and ship boxes and feed myself and finish up the next book and possibly do [...]
Next
So I feel like I'm having a 'colors without colorwork' sort of phase. There's the green and gray wavy set I just finished, and the stripey pink and purple business I just put up for testing, and of course there's Pelagic. But I didn't feel quite done. So then there [...]
Block everything…no really, everything
I'm pretty sure I've given the 'no, really, block EVERYTHING' lecture plenty of times. But I figured I'd offer proof that I really do believe it. I was knitting a little puffy heart (don't judge, I needed a distraction). But I realized somewhere along the way that I both wanted [...]
Absolutely useless
I was waiting for yarn to come, and I was feeling antsy. So I decided to do something absolutely and completely useless. This has no practical purpose. Absolutely none at all. And yet, yet I find myself amused. And sometimes, that's all you can ask for.
Circumvolute (plus giveaway)
I think it's time we have a new pattern, don't you? Around here there's still plenty of time to bang out a hat or two before spring starts flirting with us, and Circumvolute is a lovely choice. Now, I don't know about you, but lately I've been seeing lots and [...]
