Unabashed
I should have stopped being amused by this combination about half way through the hat. I did not. I remain completely and unapologetically amused and delighted. I'll let you know if the fascination wanes (or, more likely, if the yarn runs out). But for now, I'll be over here doing this.
Hat of Infinite Happiness
Right, so you know how pretty much all knitting is lovely and fun and a good thing? But then there's some knitting that is just Your Personal Perfect Knitting? Yeah, so this is mine. The top is just the way I like the tops of my hats to be (flat, which leads to a tiny bit of pouf but not unseemly amounts of slouch). It fits my (giant melon of a) head just right, with just the right amount of brim but not too much (a tricky dance, and one no store bought hat ever manages). And the colors. Oh [...]
A hat in slow motion
If you wandered over from pinterest and are looking for the pattern, it's called Pelagic and it's out on ravelry! First things first, you've got to put your time in on the band. There's no way around it. But then you get to play. I'm pretty sure this is exactly the right thing to do with that yarn you bought in an effort to be more colorful, but then you realized you are secretly a little scared of too much color, and so you tucked it away in the back corner of your stash where it couldn't give your other [...]
Neeeeext
So, now that Curls 2 is off to the printer (did I tell you guys about that? We should talk about that, look for more shortly!), it's time to start on next year's book. Now next year's book is a little different than most. We'll talk about it at length over the next year or so I'm sure. But for now? For now I just want to show off some yarn! Those are two beauties from Seven Sisters Arts (that's Karen Grover's company, formerly of String Theory, so you know everything is going to be amazing). The greeny gold one [...]
Acquisitions
We've been away for a bit. We were up in Maine. (Yes, again. No, I'm not at all sorry. Yes, we are actually considering just moving there and saving everyone quite a lot of driving time.) Rather than bore you with the details (water, oh so many rocks, sea treasures, cocktails, pumpkin fest, beer week), I thought I'd be all noble and restrained and mostly just flash some yarn. Because no one actually wants to hear about anyone else's vacation. It's almost as boring as hearing about someone else's dream. Yarn on the other hand, everyone wants to know about [...]
