Last Call, Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet Books Retiring Soon
Oh man, this is a bit tough, but it has to be done. All three of the Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books are almost gone. I have just a tiny handful of each left. Once those are gone, they're gone. I won't be printing more. You may still be able to find them on amazon for a little while (looks like they a few copies of each at the moment). And of course you may well be able to find used copies out in the world. But I won't have any more to send out to shops or individuals. And of [...]
More of a good thing
Back in February I went on a little stroll down memory lane about the first of the Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books. It was sort of awesome to go back and spend some time with it, and so I thought I'd make some time to talk about the other two books in that series too. I'll start with Volume II today, and we'll chat about Volume III later in the year. Just like last time, I've gone ahead and put both the paper book and the electronic book on sale for 25% off and made the individual patterns available on ravelry [...]
Delias eucharis Knit Along
I’ll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. This month we're starting the two patterns inspired by the Delias eucharis print. To start, we've got some delicious cabled socks (I loved them so much they had to go on the cover). And if you're not feeling the sock vibe, this hat is equally enchanting. These are both made with yarns from the always charming Plucky Knitter, and yes I do happen to have a beautiful skein of her yarn to give away to a lucky winner at the end of [...]
Polyommatus corydon Knit Along
I’ll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. This month we're starting the two patterns inspired by the Polyommatus corydon print (as always, you can click on the print to see it bigger, these prints really are marvelous). So of course we have socks...ruffly frilly amazing socks. And just to counter out all that girlishness, a slightly more subdued hat. If you’d like to join in, swing on by the ravelry thread and get knitting. This is pretty laid back for a knit along (too many rules make my head [...]
Polyommatus argiolus Knit Along
I’ll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. This month we're starting the two patterns inspired by the Polyommatus argiolus print (you can click on the print to see it bigger, it really is quite lovely). That's these charming socks. And these clever mitts (they're so much fun to put together, you really should give them a go). If you’d like to join in, swing on by the ravelry thread and get knitting. This is pretty laid back for a knit along (too many rules make my head hurt). The [...]
Lycaena virgaureae Knit Along
I’ll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. This month we're starting the two patterns inspired by the Lycaena virgaureae print (you can click on the print to see it bigger, it really is quite lovely). That's these delicate orange socks. And this delicious orange shawl. If you’d like to join in, swing on by the ravelry thread and get knitting. This is pretty laid back for a knit along (too many rules make my head hurt). The general idea is cast on any time now…knit…post a picture showing your [...]
Double-Sided Buttons
It's not often you get to take out your pliers for your knitting. That's a shame. I like my pliers, and I want to use them more often. I found a way to sneak them into Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II as part of the Vanessa antiopa Cowl. (That pattern is part of the knit along that's going on now, so if you want to get your pliers out too, feel free to join us.) I used my pliers to make double-sided buttons. You can see here how I used three of them to hold the cowl together. This is [...]

We're starting this month with the two patterns inspired by the Vanessa antiopa print (you can click on the print to see it bigger, it really is quite lovely). That's these charming yellow socks: And this amazingly versatile purple cowl. If you'd like to join in, swing on by the ravelry thread and get knitting. This is pretty laid back for a knit along (too many rules make my head hurt). The general idea is cast on any time now...knit...post a picture [...]
Swatch…Bare Naked
I've been a fan of Anne's work for just about as long as I've been knitting. She has an aesthetic and style that really stands out, and it's always easy to spot one of her designs! So when I heard she'd turned her talent to making yarns, I was excited to try them. I had great fun swatching four of the yarns up (click any of the pictures for bigger versions). Anne's new yarns, and my new book, seemed to offer a perfect opportunity for me to talk a bit about a subject of interest to most knitters, yarn substitutions! [...]
