Matched
This is one of those tiny tiny things that likely matters to no one but me, but I deeply love how nicely these increases are mirrored. It's a tiny bit fiddly, and I'll have to explain it all in the pattern, but wow is it satisfying to the part of [...]
Out with a bang
We did it, we made it through 2016, and we're still standing. I don't know about you, but I think that calls for a bit of a celebration. Now admittedly, my idea of a celebration tends to involve tucking up at home with my favorite tea and some really fabulous [...]
Clicking along
It's grown! First mitt is more or less sorted save for a thumb. And the second has leapt on the needles and gotten underway. And, as so often happens, the hat is being planned. Because I intend to wear these all the time, and I totally want to have a [...]
Bendy is better
So you know that line in a lot of mitt patterns where I tell you to set aside the thumb stitches on an extra needle or a bit of spare yarn? Well if you have the option, I really recommend the bit of spare yarn. Why? Because the yarn will [...]
Tucked up with yarn
I don't know about you, but I'm happily spending more time than usual tucked up with some yarn and needles for a few days. And, not surprisingly, the cuff has grown. It's reached the point where it looks a little funny flat. No matter which side you're looking at. But [...]
We’ve seen this before
This project, as with oh so many projects, starts with a bit of ribbing. But before too long, you get to start doing something a bit more interesting. But first, first you need to put in your time with that ribbing. There's just no way around it. Yarn is Squish [...]
Fastest Decreases Ever
The rainbow sparkle pony is ready to be done. It's tall enough (no really, this is the One True Way to check hat height for fast decreasing hats...all stitches on two needles, hold the needles together, try it on...if it fits, it's tall enough). And as for those decreases? Well [...]
Now we block
So this is off to be blocked, but I'm fairly confident it's going to be grand! There's the outside (as you're working it, I'm officially calling it reversible though, so how you wear it will be up to you). And the inside. Still unsure which I like better. I'm leaning [...]
The end is in sight
This continues to be a tube of stockinette. And that continues to hold my attention pretty much exactly as much as you'd think it would. The only thing keeping me going is that I have A Plan for the top of the hat, and I'm just itching to see if [...]
Oh hey, that looks rather like a hat…
I think it's done. Of course I'm going to put the stitches on a safety pin or two and wear it around for an hour to make sure I don't want it any taller before I break the yarn (totally normal around these parts). But I *think* it's done! Pattern [...]
