Willful
Knitting is usually pretty accommodating. It will stretch and bend and drape and generally do what you ask if you ask nicely enough. But this? This really wants to be a slightly smushed trefoil, and you aren't going to convince it differently. And you can't really tell from that picture, [...]
I do, and you should too
To everyone who says 'mine doesn't look like yours,' I have a confession. Mine doesn't look like mine either until it's blocked. Shall I show you? See how one of those is all lovely and flow-y and smooth with clearly defined stitches, distinct ribbing, and pretty flared edges? And see [...]
Interstices
Well, they're done, and the pattern's out! It's been a long road for these mitts. I first made them an alarmingly long time ago (they were one of the very first mitts I did). I knit them, loved them, wrote up the pattern, folks made them, all was well. Then, [...]
Supplied
What was that? You're concerned I don't have enough tea? I understand. I share your concern. That's why we have the back up tea storage in the drawer, and the bulk tea storage (for refilling these jars) in the pantry. I dearly dearly want to paint the inside of this [...]
Straight Lines
Zip zoom zowie. I swear that took no time at all. It took no time, and holy smokes is it cute, especially after a bit of a block. See? The yarn is Space Cadet Creations' Ester, and it is a delight to work with. It's a little skinnier than what [...]
Redux
I'm in an instant gratification mood. Hence the wee tiny cuff (if I'd been a smart kid and not picked the wrong needles to start, I would have finished this yesterday, as it stands, I'll finish it today). That's Space Cadet Creations Ester in one of the Mini-Skein Club colors. [...]
Quiescent
Quiescent: adjective marked by inactivity or rest The slipper pattern is out, and you can find it over on ravelry, should you feel the need to make yourself a pair! Oh, and on the off chance kittens aren't your thing, I do have the odd pic or two with no [...]
Assistance
The morning had one goal. Now it's not exactly a small goal, but it was something that could reasonably be accomplished if I was diligent. The goal was pictures. Pictures of the slippers, pictures of a technique I want I want to talk to you guys about, and pictures of [...]
Present
Last week, after finally convincing myself that it was really really really ready to go, I sent KCC3 off to the printer. This is always the point where I start to get a bit queasy. It's the combination of knowing that any mistakes I've made are now destined for immortality [...]
Yearly
The time has come (a bit late this year, I confess) for The Annual Preserving of the Lemons. I won't recap the directions (I did that last year, should you want to make your own). I'll just flaunt the results. That's all the meyer lemons I was able to scrounge [...]
