So Many Labels
You guys are awesome! You've helped get Curls 2 off to a tremendously good start, and I can't thank you enough. I will be spending today and tomorrow and probably Friday too printing envelopes and packing books (this is a good thing, it's what I want to be doing during the preorder). Your books will start going out in tomorrow's mail (and the eversion will go live tomorrow afternoon). But if you're just itching to cast something on now and don't want to wait, I wanted to remind you that all of my other books available through ravelry are 25% [...]

Curls 2 Preorder Schedule

Curls 2 Q&A
So, guess what's happening next week... Curls 2 is coming out on Tuesday the 16th (and I'll explain everything you could possibly want to know about the preorder in a day or two), but today I thought I'd see if I could cover any questions you might have about the book! What's in the book? Fourteen brand new curls! Lacy curls. Cabled curls. Reversible curls. Textured curls. They're all in there! You can see them over on ravelry if you want lots of pics, but here's a little preview all in one place! What's it look like? Folks always ask [...]
Swatches
We're going to consider this a lesson on the virtues of swatching. I'm dying to do something with this yarn (from Spun Right Round, the color name is Bug Jar, because I know one of you is going to want it too). But speckled yarn seems to require a bit of extra care in pattern selection. It seems that things with a lot of stockinette show it off best. But as much as I like wearing things with great huge swaths of stockinette, I can't actually stand knitting it. So the most low key way I could think of to [...]
Well that’s very tidy
Oh hey look, two toes. Around here, that totally means there are two whole finished socks (not sure how you toe up folks do it...if I knit my socks toe up, I'd get about 1/2 an inch past the heel and decide 'eh, ankle socks are in now' and call it a day). And yes, there will be a pattern down the road! But since this sock lends itself to variations, and since I know some of the very nicest knitters in the world and they help me make samples, it seems like we're going to do a few different [...]

Psst
Remember Precipitous? Remember how it's free to folks on my mailing list? Well just a little heads up, it's about to go away. I'll be replacing it with a new free pattern early next week (and yes of course, if you're already on the mailing list, you'll get the new one when it comes out). But I wanted to give you one last chance to get Precipitous before it goes away. If you haven't gotten it yet, just head over here and grab it. If you're already on the mailing list but don't have the pattern yet (or if you [...]
Nearly there
We've reached the point where I start questioning why I didn't just make a note of how many rows I did after the foot pattern and before the toe decreases on the first sock. Given that I reach this stage in most every pair of socks I knit, you'd think I'd just go ahead and start doing that. But apparently, no. Apparently I like counting rows on the knitting itself or something.
