Today only, Circumvolute is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. This...this is suspiciously close to being just a plain stockinette tube.  The things that make it more than that are tiny (itty bitty one over one cables, tucked in just often enough to keep you entertained but not so often that you get slowed down), but effective.  And despite being almost embarrassingly simple, I've yet to see a person who doesn't basically make grabby hands and try and rip it off my head whenever I wear it.  So I suspect it will be a hit for [...]

Today only, Permutation is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. So the trick here is that the second time you knit something, it goes so much faster because you fingers already know how to do the fancy bits.  And this pattern?  Well this pattern actually includes literally dozens of different variations for how you can put it together.  So you can learn the fancy bit once, then work it up in as many different variations as you have folks to knit for.  Everyone gets their own version, you get to knit a whole stack of awesome [...]

Today only, Petiole is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. Now look, I know lace might not seem like the fastest choice.  But this is actually a surprisingly speedy lace.  It's so deeply logical that your fingers will have the hang of it in no time.  And it's a beautiful example of how a tiny hint of lace can make thicker yarn look delightfully delicate (mine is knit with worsted, and it looks awesome).  Plus there are some seriously tiny (and shockingly adorable) cuffs in there that you can bang out in no time if [...]

Today only, Smashing is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. It's time to move on to hats.  Especially hats that work up quicker than they have any right to.  This one is basically just a ribbed tube, with a little bit of fancy footwork thrown in to make it slant off to the side like that (it's what makes the little turned up bit, which is adorable, but not at all hard).  Oh and there are adorable little cuffs in the pattern too...you know, in case you get done ahead of schedule and need something [...]

Today only, Tacit is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. It might be time to abandon feet and move on to hands.  These are quicker than they seem (especially if you make the wrist a bit shorter than I did), and that gorgeous cable pattern is always a show stopper! What’s up? I’m doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I’m putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% off (I started with socks and am moving on to quicker and quicker projects as the month goes on). Each sale only runs one day (until 11:59pm [...]

So I've got you convinced you want to do slippers, not socks, but you want something a bit more delicate that we did yesterday?  Well I've got you covered.  These take the tiniest little bit of lace and turn it into something with major impact. What’s up? I’m doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I’m putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% off (I started with socks and am moving on to quicker and quicker projects as the month goes on). [...]

Today only, Burgeoning is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. Decided it’s past time for socks (very reasonable!), but have a sock lover you’re gifting for?  Try knit slippers.  Seriously, they’re magic.  They’ve got all the cozy good vibes of knit socks but take maybe a third the time! What’s up? I’m doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I’m putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% off (I started with socks and am moving on to quicker and quicker projects as the month goes on). Each sale only runs one day (until 11:59pm eastern time), so [...]

Today only, Ensnared is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. A few folks mentioned they were looking for socks they think guys or more conservative sock wearers might enjoy (though really…I’m putting in a vote for exuberant socks being a good choice for everyone regardless of gender).  These are one of my favorites for that.  They’re nice, sedate (read “fast”) ribbing on the bottom, but with just enough fancy business on the cuff to feel special. What’s up? I’m doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I’m putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% off (I’m [...]
