Sampler
I've mentioned I like my job, right? Because I really do like my job. Part of that is because I get to spend all day in my pajamas by myself and only rarely have to talk to actual people face to face. But an even bigger part of it is [...]
Plicate (plus giveaway)
A while ago, I quietly took down all my earliest patterns. They were fine, but they just weren’t quite as polished as my current work, so down they came. I’ve been revamping them (new layouts, new charts, updated text, and often new pictures and more sizes) and rereleasing them as [...]
Peek
You know those websites that show pictures of what's inside other people's fridges or purses or closets? And you know how you're always a tiny bit scandalized by something you see (how does anyone drink that much soda? Am I the only one with three chapsticks and no lipstick in [...]
Standards
Every now and then, someone writes to me and says something along the lines of "why don't you use the standard chart symbols?" More often, I'll see someone say on ravelry some variation of "gee, I like her patterns, but I wish she'd use standard chart symbols." The only thing [...]
Caesious, First Curls KAL
So, I think we should do a knitalong for the patterns in Curls, don't you? And I'm a fan of doing things in order, so we'll start with the first pattern in the book, Caesious. Now, I'm also a big fan of relaxed knitalongs. I am not a fan of stress [...]
Accustomed
See that? That little line there that says second printing? A girl could get used to that... I bet I could get used to one that said third printing too (I'm adaptable like that). Just by way of explanation, that's one of the advance copies from the second printing. The [...]
The Grayest Gray in Grayville
Oh...oh the swatching has begun. The swatching has begun and I am a happy happy camper. And no, no that is not some weird white backdrop, that's snow. All of the outside is covered in it, so I'm borrowing it. If it's going to be that cold, I'm at least [...]
Follow-up
So we had two outstanding mysteries. First, the Emily Bergan and her delightful suitcase. Second, Aloysius and his intriguing body art. And now, thanks to the powers of the internet and its amazing ability to collect knowledge from all over the place and put me in touch with awesome people [...]
Complect (plus giveaway)
The pattern for Complect, the lovely twisty cabled socks, is now up on ravelry. I'm smitten with them, so I'm going to indulge in some pictures, then we'll do that useful information thing (complete with handy dandy yarn giveaway, so do read on). These hit that perfect knitter sweet spot [...]
New Arrival
I have a big head. I'll pause for a moment for you to insert the obligatory joke here. This big head thing makes it a bit challenging to block my hats. Esmeralda helps, but she has some...protuberances that my head doesn't currently have. Luckily, the Chez Violence Home for Wayward [...]
