Keen
So a little while ago I mentioned that Webs had cemented itself in my mind as producer of my very favorite ad ever (for utterly selfish reasons I might add). It seems they now have a bit of competition. Turns out Knit Picks has similarly good taste. See that wee [...]
Good Omens
I am more or less the least superstitious person you're ever likely to meet. I don't believe in ghoulies or ghosties, signs or spirits. I am, at least most of the time, alarmingly practical and frightfully level headed (or, as some have suggested, soulless and dead inside, whichever you prefer). [...]
Knit Along Update
If you've been meaning to post your finished pictures of Kazak or Mood over on the March knit along thread, here's a tiny reminder that you should do it soon. There's also still time to cast on Heriz or Afshari for April's knit along. There will be a new thread [...]
One Of The Good Bits
Writing knitting patterns is an odd sort of undertaking. It's mostly marvelous, but it (like any other job) has its less than glorious moments. But now? Now I'm smack dab in the middle of one of the very best bits. The yarn for book two is coming in, and damn [...]
What I Did On My Summer Vacation
Or rather, what I will be doing. Just in case you were in some sort of internet-less bubble yesterday, I feel it is my duty to remind you that there was a rather substantial update to the Sock Summit website. The teacher list, class list, and class schedule all went [...]
Better Than A Life of Crime
Cooperative Press (they published my book and are just about to release Heather's book) are trying out some alternative funding sources. Hmmm...that makes it sound rather like they've taken to robbing liquor stores. That's not at all what I mean. What they're doing is much cooler (and, conveniently, totally legal). [...]
Scrunch
Behold, the hat! The amount of scrunchiness in the back will be adjusted once I have the target head to hand, but this gives the general idea. Once it has been adjusted, those wee dangling strings will be removed. If you think you might like to test it, find me [...]
Nothing to See Here
This is more or less a filler post (sorry, but it's true). Let's just consider it proof I'm not dead and I haven't stopped knitting all together. Alas, it rather feels like I have. Most of my knitting of late has been book swatches. These, while fun, don't really result [...]
Alphonse to the Rescue
This picture is a lie. I took it over the weekend. The hat is actually much taller now. I, however, am lazy (or possibly just busy) and haven't had a chance to take another picture. Imagine something much like this, but a good bit taller. The yarn is from McFarland's [...]
Ironing, Now With More Stabbing
This is how I made my curtains. I'm telling you all about it because it's what I did (instead of knitting) for much of last week. That means I don't have much knitting to tell you about. It is likely not how you should make your curtains. You should probably [...]
