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 [...]
Because we all know the real point of travel is snacks
You should probably go now. This post is of absolutely no interest to anyone but me. This post is possibly the most boring thing on the whole site. But, I am constantly finding myself looking stuff up on my own blog, so I'm going to take shameless advantage of the [...]
Grid
You know how I occasionally prattle on at length about the difference between right-leaning double decreases, left-leaning double decreases, and centered double decreases? This is why. That would not be nearly as nifty looking if you didn't get picky about your decreases. And the next time someone asks if it's [...]
Report
Oh yeah, I sort of bought some yarn while we were away. Not too much (the soul of restraint, that's me), but a bit. First up, Tosh DK by Madelinetosh in the color Stargazing (which doesn't show on their website, not sure if it's a one off or discontinued). It's [...]
Pointed
Didn't I promise there would be lace? Proper, full of holes, lace? Well here you go. I'm taken with this. There's something amazingly dramatic about lace worked in big yarn, and I tend to adore it (and man is it fast...lace on big yarn is about the fastest knitting there [...]
Unimpressed
Kitten Overlord Douglas is decidedly unimpressed by my sink full of soaking socks. I, on the other hand, am totally impressed and looking forward to some serious sock pictures over the next few weeks. I'll see what I can do about the furball's attitude, but enthusiasm is notoriously hard to [...]
More Indiscretion
When last I left you, it was Friday morning. I'd visited A Verb for Keeping Warm the night before and just sort of casually mentioned that I was about to head out to another yarn shop later that morning. The second yarn shop was ImagiKnit, and it was a delight. [...]
Indiscretion
You'll have to forgive me. I had all these grand plans. While I was away I was going to take advantage of the pretty scenery to take oodles of sock pictures (seriously, I packed along socks in my carry on for maximum sock safety). I was going to stumble across [...]
Point
I distinctly remember, back when I was a new knitter, wondering why on earth people had so many knitting needles. I could understand having different sizes. Though I secretly suspected that you could probably make size 2 act like size 1 if you just pulled extra tight or like size [...]
