Testing Call
Another hat and mitt set up for testing over on ravelry. These are going to be called Coruscate (to give off or reflect light in bright beams or flashes, to be brilliant or showy in technique or style). I really do need to start coming up with names when I [...]
Petiole
Petiole is out! This was my super speedy "it's cold and I have to wear a coat and I don't want to wear a coat...so I'll distract myself with a hat" project. I'm sure that says something unflattering about my mental faculties, but I like the hat, and I didn't [...]
Salty Caramel and How to Make It
Over the Christmas holiday we broke in our new ice cream maker. Our first batch was salty caramel ice cream (and damn was it good). We've perfected the salty caramel dance over the last few months. It's one of those things that looks super complicated (read impressive) to the uninitiated [...]
Not A Jellyfish
I think I (scandalously) neglected to show you an on-the-head pic for the blue poufy hat. Bowl shots more or less work for round hats, not so much for poufy hats. We took a little stroll through a local park on Christmas and got pictures of the red hat and [...]
Testing Call
The Boy's hat (scroll down to the post from the 26th to see a pic) and some matching mitts are up for testing on ravelry. All the details are all in the thread. I'll be picking testers tomorrow, so if you're itching to make these right away (ya know, while [...]
At Long Last
From time to time some of you have been kind enough to ask to be notified when a particular pattern is released. This is terribly flattering, but I am just not organized enough to pull it off. So I'm putting technology to work for me. Well really I'm getting The [...]
A Lovely Few Days
Went quiet for a few days there, sorry about that. We were holed up playing at hibernating. We did a bit of ice cream making. We are, by the way, ice cream geniuses. Our first batch is some of the tastiest ice cream I've ever had. That swirl is salty [...]
Hobbits
"Hobbits give presents to other people on their own birthdays. Not very expensive ones, as a rule...but it was not a bad system. Actually in Hobbiton and Bywater every day in the year was somebody's birthday, so that every hobbit in those parts had a fair chance of at least [...]
More Hats
He wanted another hat. I can do that. Cast on Sunday, should be casting off tonight. Might be able to convince him to let me get some proper pics tomorrow. I'm very much liking this 'double up two otherwise unlikely to be used yarns to get one nifty yarn.' Isn't [...]
Uncharacteristically Productive
Finished things have just been falling off my needles. I blame the hats. They themselves are quick and easy, and they lead to mitts which are also quick and easy. The basket that usually holds the half dozen or so projects in various stages of completion currently holds a mere [...]
