Now with More Knitting
It has been a shamefully long time since I put up a picture of a new knitting project. So, without further ado, the newest socks: They are called Xanthophyll and are knit with the lovely Zoe Sock from Shalimar Yarns in the color Sapote. This is one of the yarns [...]
Lost in the Woods
I've been off in the woods. Of course my version of woods features comfy beds, delicious food, roaring fires, and complete protection from the elements. On the way to and from the woods I may have found a dozen or so yarn stores and accidentally bought the occasional bit of [...]
Emergency Preparedness
I just pre-ordered this marvelous t shirt from the fine folks over at Wondermark. You might want to do something similar. The gentleman who designed it obviously has his priorities straight.
Yarn, Part the First
Sock Summit was pretty much made of awesome on all levels. I can't possibly do it justice and so won't try to describe it. I would blather. It would be unseemly. Instead, I'm going to talk about one tiny aspect of the awesome. As I was getting ready to go [...]
Verdant
The first Bines sock is done. The second was started, suffered a small mishap, and is now in time out for a few days while I work on something else. I finished the first draft of the Bines pattern and have sent it out to a cadre of genius test [...]
Testing, Testing, One Two Three
I think the time has come to explain a bit about the testing process and how I approach it. I'm doing this in part because I'm still new at this and would love to find out more about how more experienced designers do it and in part because I have [...]
Not Happening
I was too busy doing stuff at Sock Summit to write about it. Sorry 'bout that. I will talk about it over the next few weeks, but in the meantime I can say with certainty that Oregon is a pretty part of the world. See?
Packing
I'm packing for Sock Summit. Generally I pack fairly light. I've done enough traveling to know better than to bring things I don't need (and really you don't need as much as you think), I have a simple wardrobe, and I hate carrying things. I'm a big fan of the [...]
Twist Twist Twist
Sorry for the disappearing act. I was off playing in the woods with The Boy and his family. I don't, as a general rule, do woods. The woods are traditionally in that space known as outside, and I am philosophically opposed to outside. Outside is where the evil scorching sun [...]
Pedigreed
You were patient. You were astonishingly patient, and now your patience has been rewarded. Pedigreed has been tested to within an inch of its life and is now available! I feel I should warn you that this is not an easy pattern. It's not hard exactly, but it is certainly [...]
