Small Steps
Knitting teaches us the importance of small steps. Do the math. That hat? That sock? That shawl? They all have an alarming number of stitches in them. So many that, if you stop to think about the numbers involved, you may go a bit weak in the knees. So today [...]
So That’s Done
After busting a rather serious move over the last few weeks, I am delighted to announce that the next book went to the printer Monday morning. I'm unreasonably taken with it. It's full of these. Which I will, of course, be showing you in (doubtless irritating) detail over the coming [...]
Explanations
There's an art to explaining things in a way that leaves your audience energized and eager to get started. You have to provide enough information to make people feel confident but not so much that they start wondering what they've gotten themselves into. In her first book, Everyday Lace: Simple [...]
Stripes
There is probably some sort of limit to how many times I can show you a rectangle of brown fabric and expect you to continue to feign any sort of interest. We've probably actually reached that limit already, and I fear the addition of a few stripes, no matter how [...]
Ruling
I need a ruling. When does it go from 'disgustingly premature' to 'perfectly reasonable' to start blabbing excitedly about the next book. It's going to the printer in a little more than a week. It will be out around Thanksgiving. I've been totally focused on it for the last two [...]
KCC3 Knit along, Planorbis corneus projects
The knit along for the projects based on the Fucus asparagoides print is starting over on ravelry. That's this super curly shawl, and these lovely socks. I am a huge believer in low-stress knit alongs, so this one is pretty laid back. Come, knit with us, chat, post pictures…I promise [...]
Withhold Judgement
I know this looks like a jumbled mess right now (I assure you, I am very very aware of that), but I have absolute faith that it will be exactly what I pictured when I'm done. I'm going for this whole elongated tetrahedron thing. It will be an extremely snuggly [...]
Plain
I'm as surprised as you are. I know what I normally knit socks and accessories, with fairly small fairly soft yarn, using intricate stitch patterns. So imagine my surprise when I found myself clicking away on the plainest pillow in the world, made out of pencil roving (which is neither [...]
Nap
Kitten Overlords Barry and Levon would like you to relax. They think you very likely need a bit of a rest. To help you in this quest, they will demonstrate a high quality napping strategy. Please pay close attention.
Storage
I confessed that a shocking amount of last week was spent at the dining room table - pins in hand, the smell of wet wool filling the air - while I blocked and blocked and blocked some more. The natural result of this process is a lovely pile of freshly [...]
