Golden
People, it's cold outside. Cold and very very snowy. So I am not going to go outside to try and find a spot with little enough snow that I can take a picture of these. I know I should, but I'm just not. You'll have to settle for a uncharacteristically [...]
Snow Day
The blog is closed on account of weather. Or rather, I'm shamelessly using the weather as a blatant excuse to curl up inside, wear woolly socks, drink hot chocolate, snuggle kittens, and generally laze finish the penultimate round of KCC3 edits. All the schools have had a pile of snow [...]
Repeat
The set I've been working on offers a good opportunity for a little instructional aside. You know how variegated yarn sometimes acts very differently from one project to the next? I've got a lovely little demonstration of why. You may recall I'm worried about running short of yarn on this [...]
Put a pin in it
Please do not suggest that I have been lazy with my blocking. I may laugh manically and chase after you with a t-pin. Oh, and pro tip, the snow will re-wet your knitting, so be a smart kid and be sure it's cleaned off and dry again before you pull [...]
Almost There
The yellow socks are almost done. Very very close to done. I just need to remember all the clever stuff I did on the toe of the first one and manage to write it down and do it again, and they'll be all set. Which is good, because the fingering [...]
Still Entranced
So the cowl now has a friend! Or rather, the partial cowl has a friend. You see, I want the cowl to be as long as possible, but I also want a hat and mitts, so I'm holding off on finishing the cowl until I've finished the others, just so [...]
Sun Valley Fibers Giveaway
I don't want to make anyone else jealous, but I think I might possibly have the coolest job ever. Visiting fiber festivals is market research, I get to indulge my bossy tendencies write patterns, and I spend most of my days at home in my pajamas in the company of [...]
Entranced
I swear it was supposed to be a swatch. A quick, simple little swatch to see if I liked the way that stitch and that yarn played together. Turns out, I do. So now the swatch is just about to reach cowl length (though admitedly, I like the sort of [...]
Strappy
So the straps were absolutely positively the way to go. The straps, in fact, quite make the slipper. Allow me to demonstrate. Awfully cute, no? How about one more, this time from the front. (Erm, and if this looks suspiciously like two left feet, that's because it is. My display [...]
Decisive
The very day I showed you The Tattoo Coloring Book and confessed my plans to make use of its lovely images for a fit of napkin making, I happened to find myself in a store that sells embroidery stuff. Funny how that happens. Let me pause for a moment and [...]
