Meditative
This is both hideously slow and oddly meditative. Each round has a little over 100 stitches, so it takes rather a long time to click through. But at the same time, the stitch is simple enough that my hands just sort of do it on auto pilot, so I don't [...]
Chatty
Hmm, I've been remiss. I went and put out a new book, and then did some of those 'chat about the book' sorts of things you're supposed to do when you put out a new book, and sort of forgot to tell you about them. So, if you see the [...]
And Done
Thumbs all tidy and done! Done on the second try I might add. I very cleverly knit them on one-size-too-small needles the first time through (and only recognized it after I'd bound off thank you very much). But a quick fit of swearing and ripping took care of it and [...]
Beginnings
Somehow, even after spending large chunks of Saturday and Sunday taking photos for Curls 2, I still wasn't quite done playing with yarn. So on Sunday evening, this happened. It's going to be a hat for The Boy, and it's made with one of the yarns I grabbed when we [...]
Prepped
This weekend is the photoshoot for Curls 2. This is ridiculously exciting, as I think all this gray is going to be amazingly fun to take photos of. I've been doing that thing where I scurry around making sure I have everything I need for days now. Of course I [...]
Slouch
The second mitt is done (well, they need thumbs, but done enough to try on and admire). I'm loving how slouchy they are. I made them a bit bigger than I normally would for a cuff (no negative ease, pretty much exactly my wrist circumference), and between that and the [...]
Oh this needs to happen
So it's about time I show you something I've knit. Except that I don't actually have anything I've knit to show, so I'll have to do something much much better and show you something Katie (who knits an astonishing number of the knitted things you see in my pattern photos) [...]
Assortment
So, did I mention all the gray curls are done? Done and safely home with me and blocked? Sounds like it might just be time for a photo shoot! Now normally I'd be horribly nervous about having a photoshoot in Cleveland in December (as they generally happen outdoors, and outdoors [...]
Treasure Hunt
Jaala, lovely mastermind behind KnitCircus yarns, is having a little treasure hunt this weekend and was kind enough to let me come be a part of it. All the details are over here, but the gist is that I and a bunch of other indie businesses have hidden special pictures [...]
Snuggle
Excuse me, I'll just be over here curled up in this. I'm going to be blocking it tomorrow, at which point it will become all open and structured and tidy and formal. But wow if there isn't something special about it in its fresh-off-the-needles state. The yarn totally helps with [...]
