Good news bad news
Good news, the slipper is coming along swimmingly! I love the yarn, love the stitch, love the feel of the whole thing. It's growing steadily into a more and more recognizable shape (I totally get it looks a bit odd at first). Now for the bad news. It's going to [...]
Beasties
So while I did not quite manage to make it to Rhinebeck, I somehow did manage to meet a few furry beasties. Funny how that happens! We swung by the Good Karma Farm, and they just happened to have a few lovely critters to visit with. They also had what [...]
Petiole (plus giveaway)
So confession time, there's something about knitted leaves. I'm not honestly sure what, and I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be this satisfying. But who am I to argue. I like them, and I suspect you do too. Especially the adorable ones in Petiole! So the hat's great fun. It's tidy [...]
Take two
So the slipper was progressing nicely. It looked lovely, and I'm totally taken with the cable. Alas the yarn, while beautiful, really isn't quite thick enough for what I want these to feel like (not the yarn's fault, it's beautiful, it's just not meant to be the bottom of a [...]
Knitting with lobster boat
I got up early one morning to sneak down to the water and take some pictures of knitting as the sun came up. The lobster boats kept me company. You'll see more of these pictures Tuesday when this comes out, but those focus more on the knitting (and so, alas, [...]
Sneaky tricks
The slipper has been cast on and shaping up rather nicely. I do find something about this way of building a slipper rather marvelous! If you look very very very closely, you may notice a sneaky little trick. That bottom needle? The one holding the stitches that will go under [...]
More slippers
Yeah, I know I just put a slipper pattern out. You'd think that would mean my slipper lust was slaked for the time being. But no...I need more. I've got a very particular cable in mind that will work perfectly for slippers, and I think I have just the yarn [...]
Mending
So I have this thing where I get super surly if something I like and use all the time wears out. I mean I know it's inevitable and normal, but it still makes me cranky. So when one of my most worn pajama sweaters (yes, I do have designated pajama [...]
Tools
Sometimes, the thing you need to take with you isn't yarn but tools. Yarn you can find most anywhere (though admittedly, some places are more fun than others). Tools are trickier. But if you can pack along just the right set, you can pretty much do whatever strikes your fancy [...]
Excursion (plus giveaway)
I have strong feelings about travel. I think it's a lovely thing to do, but wow do I ever want to take the comforts of home with me when I go. That means I bring along everything I need to make a proper cup of tea (yes I have brought [...]
