Step 1, Establish Camp
I've arrived in San Francisco and located our lodgings. They are more or less at the top of the steepest hill ever. That makes going other places (they're all down hill) easy, and walking back from them a bit grueling. I've also secured provisions in what was quite possibly the [...]
Double-Sided Buttons
It's not often you get to take out your pliers for your knitting. That's a shame. I like my pliers, and I want to use them more often. I found a way to sneak them into Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II as part of the Vanessa antiopa Cowl. (That pattern [...]
Vanessa antiopa Knit Along
I'll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. We're starting this month with the two patterns inspired by the Vanessa antiopa print (you can click on the print to see it bigger, it really is quite lovely). That's these charming [...]
Up Up and Away
In a rather unexpected turn of events, I found out on Monday that I'm headed off to San Francisco for a few weeks on, um, Sunday. Sunday, that day that comes after tomorrow. Sunday morning no less. This is certainly good news, and I fully expect it to be a [...]
Swatch…Bare Naked
I've been a fan of Anne's work for just about as long as I've been knitting. She has an aesthetic and style that really stands out, and it's always easy to spot one of her designs! So when I heard she'd turned her talent to making yarns, I was excited [...]
Noble Resolve
Having successfully sent of every single one of the preordered books (more than a week ahead of the deadline, thank you very much!), and given the unseasonably awesome weather, a little trip to the Great Lakes Fiber Show seemed to be in order this weekend. This has become something of a [...]
Easier than Expected
Well, that went even better than expected. The postman took all those packages (I harbored doubts...I imagined him taking one a day for the next few years or something equally dreadful). But no, they all went! I'll be putting out more packages today and Friday, and then they'll all be [...]
One, Two, Three
Step 1: addresses and postage on labels Step 2: labels on envelopes Step 3: things in envelopes, envelopes sealed Step 4: envelopes on the porch for the postman (I made an appointment...after last year's incident, I vowed we'd be doing it from home this year) Step 5: feel just the [...]
I Don’t Think You’ll Mind Too Much
You know how I often come on here and explain that I've not been knitting much lately? And then I say I'm sorry, both because I like knitting (would be a bit awkward if I didn't) and because I like to show you my knitting? Yeah, well, I've not been [...]
Stick it in Your Ear
And no, I'm not being rude! 'Stick a book in your ear' is the motto of the delightful CraftLit podcast (and the sister production, Just the Books, which leaves out all the crafty bits...but I figure you guys likely don't mind the odd bit of crafty talk here and there). [...]
