Lickety Split
So you know what I've discovered? Hats are wicked wicked fast. As in, cast on Friday night, cast off Saturday night fast. And it wasn't even like I spent all day Saturday knitting. The hat just sort of happened when I wasn't even looking. I could get used to that. [...]
Here We Go Again
The hat thing seems to have stuck. Shortly after finishing my friend's hat, The Boy cut off all his hair. A day or two later he mentioned that his head was cold and that he could maybe just possibly see the wisdom of a hat. Within minutes yarn was located [...]
I Will Save You
So I've mentioned before that we have two wee kittens. They're not actually so wee anymore (Barry here is closing in on 15 pounds) but we still insist on calling them kittens. Now I have long suspected that Barry is the most knitterly of the two fellows. He's the one [...]
Well Alrighty Then
Ok. So apparently you guys like the purple socks. Rather a lot. I got comments here...and on ravelry...and in my email. I'm flattered! Also a bit puzzled, as they really are fairly simple little socks, but flattered. I've cast on the second sock and that helped me figure out how [...]
Zombie Sock Revealed
These are absolute cake to knit. Easy as can be. Writing down just how to do them though... that's proving unexpectedly challenging. Somehow I don't think 'get really sick and then just do what seems easiest' will work as the first instruction. Neither will a picture of me pointing at [...]
Far Too Much Fun
It was a photo-ish sort of weekend. Saturday we wandered over to a local stream to take sock pictures. You've seen a bit of that. Then on Sunday, we took pictures of the hat. Now as charming and helpful a model as The Boy is (he spent his Saturday cheerfully [...]
As Promised
I checked with Heather. She said it was ok. No really, she did. She said I could show you the socks. Secrecy be damned. Really. Here ya go. I think having a website is awesome just because you get to torment others. It makes me a bad person, but I'm [...]
Super Quick Call for Testers
Yeah yeah, two posts in one day, but this one is just a quickie. A surprising number of folks have asked if I'm going to write up the pattern for the hat and mitts. I hadn't initially planned to. It is my first hat (not the first hat I designed [...]
A Wee Bit Nippy
This weekend The Boy and I trooped off to take pictures of the socks for Heather's book. We needed a fairly specific look. Generally, I'm quite happy to just go out in the yard and wing it. Alas, that wouldn't really work for these. We needed water and rocks. Luckily, [...]
Behold
Look, an actual real live finished hat! There's a bottom part and a middle part and a top part. It fits on human heads. It does not squeeze them nor slide off. It covers that 'top of head' through 'top of ears' region and does not wander over and impede [...]
