Effective
Barry and Levon would like you to know that they, too, are making contributions to the current sewing project. They're doing their very best to fuzz up the place. They are quite effective. And Mr. Random Number Generator would like you to know that Leslie has won Rachel's lovely book. [...]
Display Some Adaptability
I'm unusually well equipped when it comes to blocking tools for knitting. I've got the traditional mats and pins. I've got a wide array of hat forms. I've got sock blockers. I've got mannequin feet. I've got mitt blockers. I've even got hand forms. Yet despite this unquestionably impressive array [...]
Beginnings
I'm making duvet covers. I plan to be making duvet covers for the next several days. I fully expect this to eclipse more or less all the knitting for the next week or so. You've been warned. The goal is two, twin sized, linen duvet covers. You may recall I [...]
Fever Dreams
So I seem to have lost a week. Some time weekend before last, I thought to myself 'hmm, I have a bit of a sniffle, perhaps I'll lie down for a moment.' Then yesterday I dragged my stinking carcass out of bed, blinked, grunted, and wondered what the hell happened [...]
Coop Knits Socks, Review & Giveaway
One of the most charming parts of TNNA (and yes, I do still owe you the official TNNA post, but I seem to have brought back the traditional TNNA cold, which has taken up residence in my ear and kept me more or less in bed, so this week has [...]

Lycaena virgaureae 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 Lycaena virgaureae print (you can click on the print to see it bigger, it really is quite lovely). That's these delicate orange [...]
Sandy
One of the goals for the San Francisco trip was to get some photos of the current sock. We tried going out and finding something with the bridge in the background (we're tourists, we're allowed), but it wasn't quite working out. So I stuffed the socks in my purse as [...]
Miss Blossom
I'm back from TNNA and suffering from that odd mixture of exhaustion and exhilaration that comes from long hours spent in the company of others who do this funny thing I do. I both want to take a very long nap, and want to start in on all the new [...]
TNNA Bound
If all has gone according to plan (and if you're reading this on Saturday or Sunday), I'm currently hanging out at the Visionary Author booth at TNNA (we're in 114, 116, & 118 so come say hi if you're there). In order for that to happen, all of these things [...]
