Hot Diggity Dog
There are people out there who say they don't like classical music. I would suggest that what at least a few of these people actually dislike sitting still and being quiet while wearing fancy clothes. Because sometimes that's what's involved in going to see such music performed. Now I'm not [...]
Knitcircus Interview
You guys know I've long been a fan of Jaala and her marvelous publication, Knitcircus. I had the pleasure of releasing a sock pattern with her many moons ago, and we've chatted back and forth ever since. When she asked about doing an interview about the upcoming book, I was [...]
Innie or Outie?
Smitten with them both, though I think the one on the left will be the crowd favorite. The second mitt is on the needles and should be finished today or tomorrow. Once I'm done with it, it's back to the cowl (and its long loong looong rows). All the math [...]
Helper Cat, Part III
Douglas apparently didn't want to be left out of the helper cat parade. To this end, he decided to assist me with my mitt blocking. You will never meet a more water-loving cat. He sits on the edge of the tub when we shower, he plays with the faucet when [...]
Don’t Cross the Streams
The plan is totally working. Just as important, all the math indicates that I'll be able to make the cowl significantly wider (by keeping the mitts tiny...tiny but awfully cute). So as long as I can keep from tangling the various bits and pieces of the project, everything should come [...]
Cumbersome
As some of you guessed, the Pink Thing from the last few posts is destined to be a cowl. Apparently a reversible cowl, as I've yet to come to any decisions about which side is the right side. I think I even have buttons that will work with a reversible [...]
Presto Chango
Someone linked to this on pinterest and we've had a lot of folks stopping by asking about it (hi, welcome). If you're looking for the book that has this pattern in it, it's called Rabble Rousers and it's available on ravelry. I swear this yarn (it's Arroyo by Malabrigo in [...]
Chamfer, Again
Alas, I was scandalously remiss in not telling you more about yesterday's Chamfer socks. Perhaps most importantly, I should tell you about the yarn. It's Dream in Color's Everlasting Sock. Which might just be one of my new favorite sock yarns. It's made up of 8 tiny, tightly twisted plies, [...]
Chamfer
As promised, the orange(ish) spiky socks (they look a bit too pink in these shots, which is totally my fault, but it's snowy out there now and I don't feel like braving the elements to try again). These have been named Chamfer, and I'm quite taken with them. I'm actually [...]
But it’s…Pink
There's a reason I knit on dpns. They generally put an upper limit on how many stitches are in a row or round. I know myself, I know I'll get awfully bored if something is much more than 100 stitches around (which is about where my hats come in). Yet [...]
