Perseverance
So I want a nice deep folded brim on this hat (skinny ones make me look like a fire hydrant, if I'm going to fold a brim, it's going to be deep). Alas, that means I have to knit about fourteen miles of ribbing. Actually, it's something closer to five [...]
Scatterling (plus giveaway)
Sometimes, you just want a big cable. A big, bold cable that knows who's in charge and isn't afraid to boss you around a little bit. Scatterling fits the bill, and I'm delighted to have them back out. These are one of the very few projects I've ever knit twice. [...]
Second verse, same as the first
Yup, yup it's gonna be a second hat. I'm intrigued by the idea of a cowl, but I don't really have enough yarn to do it the way I'd want it to be done. I do have enough to do a hat. A hat and maybe just maybe some cuffs [...]
Frosted
I don't think I've ever seen a knitted thing that reminded me so much of spreading frosting on a cake. And yes, frosting is rarely gray. I get that, I do. But there's something about the way this one drapes and swoops (especially now that it's had a bit of [...]
Sooner than you’d think (plus giveaway)
I think yesterday may have been the last really hot day of summer. Which is actually rather excellent timing, as I am well and truly sick of hot weather. Now, that doesn't quite mean I'm ready for woolly sweaters (actually no, that's a lie, I'm totally ready for snow and [...]
Be Honest
This is the whole reason we knit hats, right? Tell me it's not just me. I can't be the only one entertained by the swirls. And I'm still undecided as to which side I like better That one up there is the outside while I'm knitting it, but the inside [...]
That’s better
So the hat? The one that tried to be all dark blue and made from skinny yarn last time? It turns out it is indeed much happier on the lighter, thicker yarn. It's quite happy indeed.The only surprise is how much I like the inside of this one. I like [...]
Change of Plans
A hat appeared, fully formed, in my head. I knew pretty much everything about this hat: how it would be patterned, how the decreases would work, even how the sizing would work. Everything except the yarn. So I did the normal thing. I tossed the stash, found nothing, and then [...]
Gramercy (plus giveaway)
You know how some knitting projects just sort of seem like little magic tricks? Either they come together faster than they should, or they use less yarn than you'd expect, or they look so much fancier than they have any right to given how easy they are. Well Gramercy pretty [...]

Kitten Overlord Levon wants to be sure that we are all aware of his work in the furtherance of the knitting cause. He is worried Kitten Overlord Douglas may steal too much attention, so he asked me to mention just how hard he works to keep me firmly settled in [...]
