Cataphyll (plus giveaway)
Way back in 2013, I had a lovely little pattern in Interweave's Sockupied magazine (it showed up in the Sockupied book too and even made the cover...I was unreasonably pleased). Ever since then, I've had folks asking when they'll be able to get this one as a stand alone pattern. [...]
Cerise, Second Curls KAL
We're doing knitalongs for the patterns in Curls, and it's time for the second pattern in the book, Cerise. Now, I’m also a big fan of relaxed knitalongs. I am not a fan of stress or hard deadlines, so we’re going to make this easy. All the details for this [...]
Helper Kittens
I believe I've mentioned the importance of bins to my organizational scheme. They really are quite central to the overall structure of my world. Each book gets two bins, one for the yarn and swatches, and one for the finished pieces. Watching the bins fill and empty is how I [...]
Grand Plans
You know what happens when you have a business? You order a lot of weird stuff on the internet. A lot. Like, say, 500 buttons. Because you simply need 500 of that button. For perfectly reasonable and valid reasons. And because they're pretty. Psst, that's a few dozen...500 is way [...]
Last Call
One tiny administrative announcement. The paper copies of Ne'er-Do-Well Knits are just about sold out. A tiny handful remain, and I expect them to all be spoken for in the next few days. Whenever I run out of a paper book, I always hear from folks who are sad they [...]
Pattern Writing for Knit Designers (review and giveaway)
There seem to be a handful of jobs everyone secretly thinks they can do. Run a bed and breakfast is one, open an adorable little bookshop is another. For knitters, their daydreams are often a bit more yarn focused. Many of them seem to flirt with the idea of either [...]
Irresolute
The pattern for Irresolute, the delightful, reversible hat and mitt set, is now up on ravelry. I'm completely taken with these, and I suspect you're going to be charmed by them, too. You know those bits of knitting where you're not actually doing anything tricky, but the finished piece looks [...]
Close Call
After asking here, on twitter, on pinterest, and on ravelry, the answer to which pattern to put out next seems to be the hat and mitts. The votes were very close, but the idea of getting the hat out while there was still time to make and wear it this [...]
Decisions, Decisions
So, I've got finished knitting, I've got finished patterns, all I need is photos. Luckily, I've also managed to flee my snowy, freezing home and come somewhere a bit warmer (not warm mind you, I'm still walking around bundled up in woolies, just warmer). Looks a bit like this. Even [...]
Make me a Map
Those of you who have the electronic version of Curls have already seen the little bonus in there. Many of the patterns sport a special little symbol that, when clicked, takes you over to a stitch map for that pattern. Stitch maps (the latest creation by super genius JC Briar) [...]
