Modern Colorwork Collection, review and giveaway
[note]This giveaway is now closed, the winner has been notified.[/note] Knitters are a clever bunch. We take very long pieces of string and a pair of sticks and tie giant knots. Beautiful, useful knots that you can wear. It's a neat trick. I really appreciate it when designers realize just [...]
Bloom
I mentioned last time that I loved how the Bare Naked Wools yarns bloomed when they hit the water. Then I showed you a picture of them still on the needles where they were totally 100% not blooming. So let's fix that, shall we? I just finished up the second [...]
Fitting
I am, for reasons that seemed extremely good at the time, knitting with gray and cream yarn in the middle of a very long winter. Normally, this would be enough to drive a knitter around the bend. But somehow this yarn is so snuggly and cozy and textured and just [...]
Golden
People, it's cold outside. Cold and very very snowy. So I am not going to go outside to try and find a spot with little enough snow that I can take a picture of these. I know I should, but I'm just not. You'll have to settle for a uncharacteristically [...]
Snow Day
The blog is closed on account of weather. Or rather, I'm shamelessly using the weather as a blatant excuse to curl up inside, wear woolly socks, drink hot chocolate, snuggle kittens, and generally laze finish the penultimate round of KCC3 edits. All the schools have had a pile of snow [...]
Repeat
The set I've been working on offers a good opportunity for a little instructional aside. You know how variegated yarn sometimes acts very differently from one project to the next? I've got a lovely little demonstration of why. You may recall I'm worried about running short of yarn on this [...]
Put a pin in it
Please do not suggest that I have been lazy with my blocking. I may laugh manically and chase after you with a t-pin. Oh, and pro tip, the snow will re-wet your knitting, so be a smart kid and be sure it's cleaned off and dry again before you pull [...]
Almost There
The yellow socks are almost done. Very very close to done. I just need to remember all the clever stuff I did on the toe of the first one and manage to write it down and do it again, and they'll be all set. Which is good, because the fingering [...]
Still Entranced
So the cowl now has a friend! Or rather, the partial cowl has a friend. You see, I want the cowl to be as long as possible, but I also want a hat and mitts, so I'm holding off on finishing the cowl until I've finished the others, just so [...]
Sun Valley Fibers Giveaway
I don't want to make anyone else jealous, but I think I might possibly have the coolest job ever. Visiting fiber festivals is market research, I get to indulge my bossy tendencies write patterns, and I spend most of my days at home in my pajamas in the company of [...]
