Introductions
I do not generally support alarm clocks. Working from home and for yourself means they are seldom necessary. But this weekend, I made an exception. I set an alarm. And not just any alarm, a 6:30 alarm on a Sunday morning. That's borderline barbaric. But, there was knitting to photograph, [...]
Prep
This Sunday was a test run for a photo shoot, which meant that more or less every minute of last week leading up to Sunday looked like this. I don't think I've ever blocked so many things (big things) in so short a time. I ran out of tpins (I [...]
Universally Acknowledged
I feel a crushing need to start this post with a shameless riff on the opening of Pride and Prejudice, but I'm trying to suppress my baser instincts. We'll just leave it that I am most definitely in want of the mate to this sock. That's Pediboo Sport by Frog [...]
Playing Favorites, Part 2
We talked a little while ago about the sock yarns for the upcoming book, but that book won't all be sock-y goodness. There are lots of other delightful projects too, and that means more yarn. I've just now gotten the last of the yarns in, so that meant it was [...]
Bounce bounce bounce
I am generally rather orderly. Some might say alarmingly orderly. I'm a huge fan of breaking a large task into smaller ones, putting the pieces in the right order, allocating time for them, and moving through the list. I've written and published five books in the last few years. You [...]
Share (yarn giveaway)
We've chatted before about the process of picking yarns for a book. I've explained that it's both tremendously fun and more than a bit nerve-wracking. Imagine it -- you start with a blank slate, and you can pick whatever yarn you want. Now that's exciting, but it also leaves me [...]
Fits and Spurts
The sock is growing. It's firmly in the 'I am clearly a sock and am recognizable as such to non knitters' stage of the process, which I always find reassuring. But I've let it sit, unattended, for a few days now, and it has completely and totally failed to finish [...]
Adumbrate
The revamped and rereleased pattern for Adumbrate is now up on ravelry. Pics first, but do read on, as I've got yarn to give away!These are another of my early patterns, and I was delighted to redo them. We all know I'm a sucker for fingerless mitts (seriously, I have [...]
KCC3 Knit along, Fucus asparagoides projects
The knit along for the projects based on the Fucus asparagoides print is starting over on ravelry. That's this lovely curved shawl (I just love that shape far more than is reasonable, it's so easy to wear) and these super lacy socks.I am a huge believer in low-stress knit alongs, [...]
I remember this
Hey, that looks familiar. That looks rather like a sock. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I knit a sock? The last pair were Amenable and I finished them at the end of January. That's almost six months ago. That's not really cool at all. These [...]
