Shrub, Part I
The internet is a dangerous place. On the internet, you can be going along, minding your own business, when suddenly you stumble across a recipe for a plum shrub cocktail. That's going to change the course of your day right there. Especially if you then find yourself falling down a [...]
Dummy
No, no I am not calling you names. You, dear readers, are all unusually clever (and might I mention astonishing attractive). I just want to talk to you about dummies. Dummies are blank books made up by the printer in the dimensions/page count/paper type you're considering for a book. So [...]
Shocking
Hey, look, a sock. We haven't seen one of those around here in a while. I realized the other day I was feeling a little crazy around the edges – a little crazier than usual. Now I like to think I'm some sort of complicated, mysterious being with a finely [...]
Dream Big (Plus Giveaway)
So just to recap, way back in March I introduced you to the amazing Dreaming of Shetland project in support of Deb Robson's work. Then, in August, the first installment of the book came out and I talked a bit more about the project itself. Now, I'm happy to say, [...]
Knitty Pattern, Plus Sale!
Having a pattern in knitty is a funny thing. You spend a long time knowing it's coming (but not being allowed to talk about it), you know it will be great fun, but you never know quiiiiite when it will happen. That's the state I was in for the last [...]
Math…please don’t be scared
There I sat, admiring my swatch. Loving it really. The drape, the gauge, the yarn, the color, all was well. Look at that red thing (details of said swatch intentionally and shamelessly obscured in the interest of secrecy preservation). It's Blue Sky Alpacas' Alpaca Silk in Crabapple and it's filling [...]
In The Grip
I got the nicest note from someone the other day saying they were sorry I wasn't knitting much these days. I had to do a bit of a double take. I sort of feel like I've been knitting like a mad woman. That cramp in my neck and the twinge [...]
Polyommatus corydon Knit Along
I’ll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. This month we're starting the two patterns inspired by the Polyommatus corydon print (as always, you can click on the print to see it bigger, these prints really are marvelous). So of [...]
These Things Keep Happening
Somehow, despite all my firm intentions to work on only one (or, you know, two) big projects at a time, something snuck up on me the other day. I really couldn't help it. It started as a swatch. A simple little swatch. Then there was a period of graph paper [...]
Dash
The plan went something like this. Dash off to Chicago after work on Friday, hang out during the day on Saturday, see a concert that night, zip back home Sunday in time for a nice leisurely evening. This is a perfectly viable plan in the town you're going to and [...]
