Finished Object Alert! Plus Sparkly Sock In Progress Quick note: This post is late! I actually wrote it more than a week ago, before my laptop died and took everything with it. Now I'm trying to catch...
I don’t know about you, but my life has been Crazy Town lately, and my knitting has suffered. Over the holidays, I pretty much just grabbed whatever project was closest; when I stopped to do something...
I'm glad you all liked the Leapfrogging Hearts cable (below, in the turquoise yarn) I designed for my sister's Central Park Hoodie . I will definitely share the chart once I get a little further...
Leap-frogging hearts! Many thanks to DebiH, who named my wee heart ribbon pattern. And many, many thanks to the dozens and dozens of you who wrote in with opinions, humble and otherwise, regarding the...
The good news: I have Made Progress on my sister's modified Central Park Hoodie . The bad news: I've done so many swatches that if all those stitches had been Actual Hoodie Stitches, sister Liz...
It seemed like a really good idea at the time. Ever since my sister Liz asked me to make her the Central Park Hoodie , I've been planning on substituting a bit of custom cablework in for the cables...
Dear Liz, You've been waiting patiently for it to be your turn, and it's waaaaayyy past time. So this one's for you, sweetie. Love, Your big sis There's a tradition in my family that one...
It has come to my attention that some of you have not been to a wool festival. Having just come back from the mystical, magical event that is Rhinbeck Sheep & Wool , I feel it is my duty to Spread...
See that hat in the photo at left? This hat is mocking me. (See how it drops down low over my eyes and makes me look like I am five? It mocks me.) It's Connie Chang Chinchio's Blume Hat from Knitscene...
Up here in Ontario, the leaves are starting to turn, and the temperatures are dropping. This will be my third Canadian winter, and without realizing it, I've started doing actual Winter Preparations...
Just now, just this very minute, I saw the very first Knit Cap of the season walk by. Well, OK, the cap itself wasn't doing the walking; Stephen King is not (yet) scripting my life's story. There...
"You're knitting a hat," Nicholas says pointedly, eyeing the stitches on my needles with the practiced eye of a knitter's husband. "Why, yes, I am knitting a hat," I reply,...
I'm getting near the end of my Tattoo Tank ! The body is done, and now I'm working on the finishing touches. Most of these finishing touches are structural, meaning I'm doing some extra bits...
Let's be honest. When it comes to having to modify armhole shaping on-the-fly, I have a great alternative. Let's all just go play in the shark tank instead. Yeah. Because that would be a ton more...
I finally made it to the armholes on my Tattoo Tank . Lest you think I am a slacker who sits around all day eating chocolates and watching soap operas: I not only made it to the armholes, I am also done...
