Breaking News
It is, for the first time this fall, officially cold enough that I reached for a pair of thick fuzzy handknit socks to keep my feet warm. I grabbed Slant, and I'm pleased to report they are working quite well. My feet are definitely warmer and there is now no [...]
Xanthophyll
Xanthophyll socks are live, and the pattern is here! To celebrate their release, the folks at Shalimar Yarns have kindly offered to donate a skein of the lovely Zoe Sock yarn I used to make them to one lucky reader. To have a chance to win, just go over to [...]
The Sun Will Come Out…
Or rather The Boy will come home while the sun has come out. For that unusual confluence of events is really all that is standing in the way of releasing the Xanthophyll socks. They'll be out tomorrow morning! Just as exciting, the marvelous folks over at Shalimar Yarns have agreed [...]
Colophon
I got overly ambitious and went ahead and released these early! These are simple and fun fingerless mitts designed to use up leftover bits of sock yarn. The airy pattern makes the most of limited quantities of yarn, and the ribbing makes for a very stretchy finished product. These are [...]
Scattershot
The last few days have seen lots of knitting and lots of testing but little actual tangible progress. The Slalom mitts are finished, the pattern is tested, and I will take pictures and release the pattern as soon as the sun comes out. The Xanthophyll socks are in a similar [...]
Not Socks
Heresy I know, but very occasionally I do knit something other than socks. Don't worry, I'm not straying too far afield this time. Often, when knitting socks, there is a little nugget of yarn leftover when you're finished. It's not really enough to make another sock, but it's far too [...]
Results!
Wow, you guys like yarn! The site has been up for about six months and I had almost as many comments on the yarn giveaway post as on all the others put together. I won't keep you in suspense, the results, as generated by the random number generator on random.org [...]
Yarn Giveaway!
Bines is live! To celebrate I'm having a giveaway. The Schaefer Yarn Company has graciously donated a skein of their lovely Heather yarn in Dian Fossey (that's the yarn I knit them in, just to be clear), and I'm giving away a copy of the pattern (or a copy of [...]
Upcoming Goodness
The pattern for Bines is finished, and I will be releasing it tomorrow. Bines was knit with one of the yarns that Schaefer gave me in return for a pattern I designed for them. When they saw Bines, they liked them, so this pattern will be getting added to their [...]
