Countdown, day 3
Today's pattern is Amenable. You can get it on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. What's going on? I'm doing a countdown sale. Every day through December 24, I'm putting one pattern on sale. I'm starting with socks and then moving on to quicker projects (think slippers then hats then cuffs) as the time gets shorter. Each sale lasts until 11:59pm eastern time that day. I'll be posting about it here on the blog as well as on Instagram and Twitter. If you want to be sure to see today's sale, you can either swing by the blog [...]
Flip flop
So these are sort of fun...while you're knitting them, they look like this: And when you turn them inside out, they look like this: And the idea is that when you wear them, you first turn them inside out and then fold down the cuff, so you'll see this: But with more of that lovely purl 3, k1tbl ribbing (from picture 2) carrying down the whole foot. It looks awesome, but it keeps you working on the knitside for the whole sock (which I prefer to working that much reverse stockinette...though maybe someone out there likes to purl more than [...]

Countdown!
I've heard a rumor one or two of you have realized that you planned to do a bit of holiday knitting...and that the holidays are well nigh upon us. I'm not actually cool enough to solve that problem for you, but if picking patterns is part of the hold up, I might be able to help with that! I'm going to do a little countdown sale. Every day, from December 1 through December 24, I'm going to put a different pattern on sale for one day only. We'll start with socks (because some of you folks turn out socks in [...]
Once more into the breach
So first there was a swatch... Then there was a slight change of plans (same company, same base, just went with the solid instead of the multi)... Then there was a cast on (yes, scandal, I cast on over two needles, yes I know the lecture, yes I'm going to keep doing it)... And in no time at all there's a bit of a sock... A familiar looking sock (yes, it's the same stitch from Constellate, it was too much fun not to use it again). Yarn is from Mineville Wool Project, their merino cashmere nylon base, in the color [...]
Bright
The sun is setting somewhere around 4pm. All I can say is that my office windows face west, so at least I get the light as long as possible. That helps...and filling those west-facing windows with these helps too! I've chatted about them here before, and the fascination remains as strong as ever. If you want to make some yourself, you need the magic paper. It's sort of like a cross between tracing paper and cellophane (it's not like the colored tissue paper you wrap presents in). You can find little squares of it here and big giant sheets of [...]
Wovember…yes more
More wovember goodness...I'm having more fun with this than is really reasonable. Because outside it's cold. And it's overcast. And the sun goes down way way way too early. And some days it's downright gloomy. But the wool is warm. And having a whole bunch of it on hand seems to help! You can follow these in real time on my instagram page, or you can check out all the other good stuff folks are doing for Wovember! And if you're looking for any of the hats, clicking on them will take you to their ravelry pates (except for that [...]
Indie Gift-a-Long
It's that time again! Some clever (and oh so very organized) folks are running the Indie Gift-a-Long. It's a massive ravelry event (seriously...hundreds of designers, thousands of patterns) that helps you find new designers, get a great deal on lots of patterns, get some holiday knitting done, and have a lot of fun in the process. Each participating designer puts a bunch of patterns on sale for 25% off with the code giftalong2017. You can see the patterns I have on sale here. But it's more than just a sale! There is a super active ravelry group over here where [...]
