Kinked
Once I decided that the initial incarnation of the gray socks had to give way to a new version, the next step was to free the yarn. Now this is actually surprisingly hard for me. I loathe ripping. I always feel like I'm throwing away all that time I spent [...]
Shapely
So the cuff is done. It is adorable (and comfy, and soft, and warm, and all the other things you'd want a cuff to be). But it is also weirdly hard to photograph (that it is a bit damp doesn't help, but sunset comes early these days, and if I [...]
Unearthed
A recent toss of the secondary knitting basket (don't look at me like that, I know some of you have them, too) revealed by far my oldest WIP. As far as I can tell, I put that down some time in the summer of 2011 and haven't touched it since. [...]
Daunting
Respectable adults do not whine. Respectable adults certainly do not wine about anything so lovely as a giant pile of knitting ready for blocking. Respectable adults would not dream of doing any such thing, they wouldn't even know how to start if you asked them to. I, on the other [...]
Scalloped
Well then, this is going to be something rather special, isn't it? I'm not sure what it says about me, but I find scalloped edges on knitting almost unbearably entertaining. The only thing that reassures me is that I've heard from quite a few of you that you like them, [...]
Fall with SweetGeorgia (review and giveaway)
I have a long history of loving SweetGeorgia's yarns. I used them way back in my very first book and have been happily playing with them ever since (oh and there just might be a pattern in one of their yarns in the new book due out next month). I [...]
Flare
I have a long-standing, deeply-held, and unabashed fondness for flared cuffs. They're the piece of knitting I wear most often (gloves and hats feel like outer wear, whereas my cuffs I can totally wear in my drafty house without feeling like a weirdo who needs to get new windows). They [...]
Calcareous (plus giveaway)
We're totally on a roll. I told you I had a lovely stack of early patterns to bring back, and today's is Calcareous! These sort of hit that sweet spot between cabling and ribbing. The cables keep the ribbing from getting boring (because I can't be the only one who [...]
Over The…
One of you come finish this for me, pretty please? It's reached the point where the rows are alarmingly long (it's all bunched up on the needles so you're not really seeing the full size of the thing here). It's also reached the point where I keep wishing I had [...]
Push and Pull
So I think I showed you finished pics of both variations of the hats, I don't think I ever showed you both together. I'm rather taken with them. I think they're a perfect example of how very tiny changes in your knitting can have surprisingly big results. These use exactly [...]
