Loose ends
Heads up! Everything in my ravelry shop is 15% off through the end of the day, eastern time, January 1 with the code ALL TIED UP. That's partly in case someone missed your holiday present hints (or if you missed out on one of the countdown days). But it's mostly because, come the first proper work day of the new year, I'm taking down pretty much everything in my ravelry shop while I do some admin stuff. Now don't worry, I'm not going away! I'll still be bringing out new patterns (one in early January even!). And many of the [...]
Cozy
The sun is setting just the tiniest little bit later. And I am soaking up all the light I can get. Here's hoping you're somewhere comfy and cozy doing something you like. Bonus points if it's something other people find the tiniest bit perplexing but you totally adore.
Countdown 24
Today only, Curls, Curls 2, and Curls 3 are all on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN (the code works for any or all of them, just be sure you put them all in your cart at the same time if you want more than one). Curls is the book that made me brave enough to stop pretending to everyone else that I wanted a respectable grown up job and finally just go ahead and do this weird thing I do instead. There were quite a few folks who were quietly (or not so quietly) worried [...]
Countdown 23
Today only, the Fine Things for Plain Occasions on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. If you know me at all, you know this is the me-est book ever imaginable. Patterns based off of vintage etiquette guides? Check. Hardback book with a freaking ribbon bookmark? Check. Photoshoot at an ever so slightly gothic manor? Check. Really you could not come up with something more suited to my personal proclivities if you tried. And even if the patterns are not your jam, you owe it to yourself to go read a few of the quotes from the [...]
Countdown 22
Today only, the Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books (Volumes I, II, and III) are on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN (it works for any or all of them, just put them all in your cart at once if you want more than one of them). Do you want to know a secret? My only regret about this whole series is that I didn't put 'Volume I' on the first one. Everyone I talked to about doing books warned me against it. They said if you put volume one, and then don't do a volume two, you'll [...]
Countdown 21
Today only, Silk Road Socks is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. This is the book that started it all. Silk Road Socks was my very first book, way way way back when. I published it with someone else and well...well I've always been the opinionated sort, I don't play well with others, and I should have known better. It was out of print for a long time, and eventually the rights came back to me. So a few years ago I redid it the way I'd always wanted to. More sizes, beautiful illustrations, and even [...]
Countdown 20
Today only, Firmament is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. That hat, that one in the front there? That hat has a lot to answer for. It's by far my most popular individual pattern. And the response to it helped convince me that you would not all run screaming if I experimented with more of the lovely dip stitches. I put a bunch of them together in a book (along with some variations on the stitches because I've always secretly cherished a burning desire to do a stitch dictionary, and this was a way to [...]
Flare
So, I have a couple of cozy house sweaters that have that stupid, irritating band at the bottom. The band like you see on the bottom of sweatshirts. The one that causes the sweater to pull in just at the point where my body goes out. This is not ideal.⠀ ⠀ So today, today I fixed it. I stared at the band at the side of the sweater, and saw that there was a seam there. So I grabbed my seam ripper (they are so handy, you should have one) and sliced it right on open (as always, amazon links [...]
Countdown 19
Today only, Ne'er-Do-Well Knits is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. So this isn't a single pattern, it's a tiny little book (click over to the ravelry page to see the other patterns in it). It's from back when I used to think it was totally reasonable to do two books a year and one or two patterns a month on non book months and be a full time grad student. All of which means I don't actually remember much about making it because I was way too exhausted to actually lay down long term [...]
