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 [...]

Today only, Indomitable is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. All the fancy bits are in the cuff.  Once you're done with the cuff (which is alarmingly lovely if I do say so myself), the rest is just ribbing, which more or less flies.  Oh and don't worry...I have you knit them with the mostly knit side facing out (not the mostly purl side), so you won't actually be knitting as many purl stitches as that looks like.  I'm not a monster! What’s up? I’m doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I’m putting one pattern [...]

Today only, Sybaritic is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. The foot is the secret here…it’s what makes these quick enough to consider for gift knitting (if you’re starting early…and you’re a fast knitter…and you’re still feeling optimistic about the month ahead…).  It’s mostly stockinette, which is about as speedy as can be.  You can do it! 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 starting with socks and moving on to quicker and quicker projects as the month goes on). Each sale only [...]

Today only, Anemochory is 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. Alrighty…I know a lot of you are shockingly quick knitters (seriously, I’ve seen you turn out a pair of socks in a long weekend).  But socks are still a bit of an undertaking, so if you’re knitting them as presents, I want to make sure you’ve got plenty of time.  So we’ll start the countdown off with socks!  These work up fairly quickly (the pattern is simple enough you’ll have it memorized in no time), and it’s early in the month…you’re still unreasonably optimistic, right?  Right! What’s up? I’m doing a December countdown! Now [...]

So, I try to do something rather scandalous in December.  I try to rest.  Which, admittedly, I'm not very good at (I say, glancing at my calendar for the year and counting up the 19 individual patterns and 7 patterns in a book I put out this year).  But I am trying.  And a big part of the way I do that is by not bringing out a new pattern in December and instead shamelessly showing off some of my favorite existing patterns.  I've been doing this designing thing for, um, a while now.  And it's way too easy to [...]
