True Love
Barry is a helpful and trustworthy kitten not normally prone to fits of yarn abuse. After I'd carefully laid out the rainbow of yarns to take the picture I showed you last time, he sauntered over to see if he could be of any assistance. I informed him I had [...]
Rainbow
Aww, you guys are very kind. Thank you for all the lovely comments on the anniversary post. I still can't quite believe I get to do this for my real live grownup job. Now that KCC3 is just about to head off to the printer, I find myself wanting to [...]
Five years in
Five years ago, with very little in the way of a proper plan, I flung this website up as a place to host my first attempt at a sock pattern. One year later, I had a book contract. A year after that, Silk Road Socks was out. A year after [...]
Assistance
I don't believe in rushing. I'm firmly convinced that when you rush, you make stupid mistakes. If you feel like you should hurry, it's probably actually time to slow down and take a breath. Which is why, despite the rather frantic pace of the last few days (as explained by [...]
Opportune
You know how sometimes an opportunity sneaks up and pounces, all bright and shining and obvious, and you have no choice but to seize it? Right. That's not what's happened here. Instead, the faintest glimmer of an interesting opportunity has twinkled, dimly, off in the distance. It's the sort of [...]
Sharing
The mitts (the ones meant to match The Boy's new hat) are done. Now, because The Boy has a deeply unreasonable lack of love for woolly mitts, these are not for him. They are for me. Definitely his loss. P.S. These are up for testing over here if you're itching [...]
Scribble
I am not known for my patience. I do not enjoy waiting, and I do not do it well. So the less said about the time between when I heard about the sharpie and alcohol thing (Friday afternoon) and when I actually got some markers and started scribbling (Saturday afternoon) [...]
Inside out or Outside in
As promised, a quick look at both sides of the stitch on the mitts. The one on the left is what we've been calling side B, and on the right is side A. The finished mitt has been blocked, so I've stretched the partial one over a bit of cardboard [...]
Cozy
Can I distract you from the weather outside with something alarmingly cozy? I told you I was taking the slippers off to Washington with me in hopes of getting some pattern pics. I took the slippers, I took the camera, I even managed to snap a few decent pics. Alas, [...]
Squeak
We can talk about the pattern later (next time I'll show you the two sides together, and then you can revel in the niftiness of the stitches) but for now, look at that loop of yarn. That loop is what happens when you're working the last part of the hand [...]
