More of a good thing
Back in February I went on a little stroll down memory lane about the first of the Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books. It was sort of awesome to go back and spend some time with it, and so I thought I'd make some time to talk about the other two books [...]
Theory
We have friends who make better than average children, and they've recently gone and made a new one. This gives me the perfect opportunity to test my theory that most anything you put on a baby's head will be adorable. Let's see if it extends to orange and green hats. [...]
Easy enough
So I love that you guys are enthusiastic about the idea of listing the sizing information for the sock patterns in the next book in multiple gauges. That actually makes my life secretly easier, as I may possibly have requested a couple of thicker yarns already. And if you guys [...]
Yes please
Well that's just unreasonably lovely. And yes, yes it's simple. It's just leaves, and leaves are easy to knit. But there's something rather delightful about these. I can't quite decide if I want to hurry up and be done (so I can block it and pet it and generally admire [...]
I love this part
So as I mentioned, Curls 2 is off at the printer (yay) and will be out this summer (double yay). And that means it's totally time for me to diving in to the next book. One of the first steps is always getting yarn. I flashed some of the other [...]
You’ll just have to trust me
So some things are awfully hard to photograph. The difference in texture between the pre & post blocking version of this yarn is one of them. Part of that's my fault (I didn't take a picture of the actual swatch before I soaked it, so you can't quite compare like [...]
Faith
We're in the 'wait, what's going on here? Are you sure this is right?' stage of the project. But if my swatches can be trusted (and they usually can), this is going to be marvelous in a few more rounds. We're going to have to talk about yarn floofiness soon [...]
Neeeeext
So, now that Curls 2 is off to the printer (did I tell you guys about that? We should talk about that, look for more shortly!), it's time to start on next year's book. Now next year's book is a little different than most. We'll talk about it at length [...]
Anticlastic
Don’t tell anyone, but I sometimes wish it were socially acceptable to carry around a blanket. I realize that’s not generally encouraged for adults, but still the urge persists. Anticlastic may well be my attempt to pull that blanket thing off in a slightly more socially acceptable form! There are [...]
Acquisitions
Sometimes you need goodies. Could be yarn goodies. Could be tool goodies. Could be something else equally fun. But really, every now and then you do need a treat.
