Continue down that path
Remember how we talked the other day about doodling out the important bits of a stitch on paper to help you understand it and how that can come in handy if you want to do things like scale a stitch up or down (or tile it...or mirror it...or offset it...or [...]
Fluffy
Ever see a stitch you just want to burrow into and take a nap? Because I'm pretty sure this is about the closest I've ever seen a stitch get to 'fluffy duvet on a cold, rainy afternoon when you're exhausted and really really really need a nap.' Something about [...]
Solved
Ooooh, you know how I said these needed a 'page' in the middle of them to feel even more bookish and to give you a place to pin things? Yeah, yeah well it turns out finding the correct yarn to go with sparkly pony glitter plastic extravaganza was more challenging [...]
Fairness
And, just in the interest of fairness, here's the same hat as yesterday, in the same yarn (well, same base, just a different color) knit straight through the gradient, rather than pulling from the opposite end for the fancy stitches. No, I will not be picking a favorite. They're both [...]
In Trouble
You know that thing where something is so damn pretty it gets you in trouble because you Just Cannot Stop Petting It (fine for knits, not ok for people)? Yeah. This hat is doing that. I had meant for it just to be a hat. But god those colors are [...]
Floofy goodness
Ok, here's the color thing I was telling you about the other day. The pink fabric and the orange fabric both use the same background yarn (a single ply from Seven Sisters Arts), the only difference is the floof color (both fuzzy laceweights from Haute Knit Yarn). For some reason, [...]
Paper
Um, so, speaking of being distracted by shiny objects, did you know that you can iron and sew mulberry paper preeeeeeetty much the same way you'd sew fabric? And that this can lead to no end of distraction? And also to some lovely window shades to help deal with the [...]
Shiny Objects
So I'm in one of those phases where I have A Whole Lot of Projects, all at various stages of completion, yet somehow all I want to do is Start New Thiiiiiiiiiings. Like this guy. This guy that's all the way knit, and which I actually wrote the whole pattern [...]
Colorful floof
So this? This bit of screaming pink goodness? It's actually the same base yarn as the orange mitts, just held double with a different color of fluffy yarn. It always amazes me how much of a difference that makes, but somehow it really really really does. Now if you'll [...]
Clearly
Now that the mitts are done, clearly we need to do a hat...
