Pretty sure it’s become a scheme at this point
The other day I had an idea. It led to swatching (always a good step). Then came an email to Stephanie (of SpaceCadet fame) with a bit of a plan. We're still working on a few of the details but a plot is now definitely afoot. Yarn showed up (the [...]
Hazy
Every now and then I find a yarn that knows a special magic trick. It somehow manages to be more than one color at once. I don't mean more than one color over the length of the yarn (that's easy enough). I mean more than one color at any given [...]
Changeful
You know how, when you're knitting, there's always a little voice saying 'you know, you could also try it this way...?' But you never get to really indulge that voice because if you did, you'd never actually finish anything? Well, Changeful are my attempt at indulging that inner voice! It [...]
Extras
There was just enough yarn left after I finished the first cowl that I couldn't quite justify letting it go to waste. So I figured I'd play a nail-biting game of yarn chicken and see if I could squeak a shorter cowl out of what I had left. Totally worked! [...]
Second Verse
I did have to break into the second skein to finish up the first cowl. But I didn't really need much of it at all, which left me feeling like I should make a second, smaller piece as well. I wasn't feeling the cuff vibe (the yarn is a bit [...]
Ingenuity
The cowl is done. Let me be more specific. The first cowl is done. A second version of it is currently on my needles and fighting me, but we'll talk about that later. But the first cowl is done, which means it needed to be blocked. This is harder than [...]
New Directions in Sock Knitting (plus giveaway)
If you've been here for a while, you know I have opinions about socks. Socks are supposed to start at the top, go for a while, make a turn, go for a while more, then make a toe. It's the natural order of things. And while I understand that some [...]
Nearly
This needs about 8 more rows to be officially done. Which is, of course, very fitting, as it looks all set to warm up for the next few days. Given that I'd very much like the cruddy snow to finish melting off the driveway and sidewalks, I feel I have [...]
Not Exciting
I'm not sure what it says about me that I continue to be amused by this. It's a tube. A very slightly tapered tube. But amused I am. And from what I can tell, one or two of you share my proclivity. Another day or two and I'll be done. [...]
Blankie
I have been led to believe I am not supposed to actually walk around in public with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders. So I'm going to do the closest thing I can manage and still maintain my (marginal) level of social acceptability. I think that's a cowl. It's String [...]
