Yup, yup totally cute
Someone linked to this on pinterest, and we've had lots of folks stopping by (hi, welcome!). If you're looking for the pattern, it's called Tacit and it's live on ravelry now. And if you want to be sure to hear whenever I have a new book or pattern out (plus [...]
Stash dive
Took a dive deep, deep into the stash and found a treasure. It's from the second Sock Summit back in 2011. Stash doesn't normally stick around quite that long in these parts, but this one managed to hang in there. Even better, the company, Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts, is still [...]
That was quick
This was supposed to make the snow stop. The traditional approach is 'it's snowing, I'm cold, oh I know, I'll knit something, oh look spring came long before I finished the knitting.' It's usually foolproof. But not so much this time. I started it Saturday, finished it Monday, blocked it [...]
Has it really been that long?
I got a lovely message a few weeks ago from someone who told me she'd found a book that totally reminded her of me and my patterns, and she really really wanted to tell me about it. At least she did, right up until she realized it was actually my [...]
Uncharacteristic
This is not like me. Not at all. It's thick yarn (Capella by SpaceCadet). It's huge needles. It's bright colors. It's a very mellow, unstructured cable. This is more or less the complete opposite of my normal approach. And I'm more or less smitten. I'll be over here petting the [...]
Brrrr
So while the cold weather took its own sweet time getting here, now that it's here it seems to want to stay a while. I'm fighting back in traditional knitter fashion. Wool. Both in the form of socks, and on the needles as a talisman against snow. Some day we [...]
Starburst
I have strong feelings about hat tops. Which is probably silly, as when you're wearing your hat most people can't actually see the top of your head. But the feelings persist. Which is why I'm unreasonably amused by this. I love love love a flat hat top (the secret is [...]
Tip Top
Hat? Hat! Fast? Unreasonably so. Amusing? More than I would ever have expected. Colorwork? Yup...and it's my first go at it, and I'm bad at it, and I still had fun. Slightly sloppy insides and all. More? Oh yes. There will both be more hats in this series and at [...]
New Skills
Bear in mind I know nothing at all about colorwork. This is the first proper project I've even sort of tried it on. But with that in mind, I really do rather like how this is coming out (I'd take it as a kindness if you'd refrain from telling me [...]
Smug, so very very smug
Public Service Announcement: Your swatch doesn't count if you don't block it. Remember the photo of the swatch I showed you last time? Take a look at it after a little soak! Totally different beast (with a whole stitch per inch difference in gauge). If I'd started the project without [...]
