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 [...]
Neeeeext!
Those lovely blue cabled socks? The ones you kept asking about? They'll be going up for sale on Tuesday. This is just a heads up so you can go pick yarn and make plans (it's written for either 7, 8, or 9 stitches per inch so you'll be able to [...]
A Good Start
Did I mention I'm deep in the middle of the next book (the one that should be out in early fall 2015)? I'm at that stage where all the patterns are written and most of the projects back with me. The sock part of the projects look a little something [...]
One Sock Two Sock
So, that's two finished socks. Alas (and I didn't realize this till I took them both outside in the daylight), they seem to be two slightly different colored finished socks. I'm going to try very hard to tell myself I don't care (I mean really, if I didn't notice while [...]
Rescue Mission
While I did not buy any yarn at Rhinebeck, I did get myself two little treats. One was the blanket I told you about back in October (and which I continue to adore). The other was a purse from Julia Hilbrandt. I love it, it is just the right size [...]
Winding
Here's hoping you find all of your favorite knitting treats under the tree or in your stocking! Image from the Library of Congress' website (and it looks like it's old enough that it's fine to use here).
Industrious
This is what things have looked like around for the last little while. That's what it looks like when you set out more than 500 envelopes for the postman in one day (don't worry, I told them they were coming, and I helped load the truck). Do that for a [...]
Shades
I've wanted to do an all gray book for, um, forever. I just kept telling myself no. No, no one will like it. No, people will think it's boring. No, all the projects will look the same. No, it will be hard to photograph. You know what? I'm doing an [...]
