Taking a Break to Knit for Myself

Last weekend, I needed to take a break from the crazy deadline knitting, and with winter seeping in it’s been very cold walking around town as I do, so I decided I needed a hat. I’m really picky about hats. Most hat styles look strange on me (at least to myself) with my long face […]

Stuffies for Princess Wiggles

My little brother (see here) and his wife are having a baby. For now they’re calling her Princess Wiggles. I might still make a sweater for her, but for now, 3 stuffed toys seems adequate 🙂 Details on Ravelry, from left to right: Elijah, Sophie, Otto I just finished Elijah, pretty quickly after Otto. I […]

I got pictures yesterday of the Pinstripe Sock I worked up in Isager yarns for Knit-Purl to take to Sock Summit as a kit. The pattern will also be available later as a download and for wholesale purchase. If you’re going to Sock Summit, check out Knit-Purl’s booth. They’ll have it in a bunch of […]

Predictable, Yes. But warm

I mostly wear dark, neutral colors. Most of my wardrobe is black or gray, with some splashes of navy or brown for good measure. Over the last year or so, I’ve been trying to add other, brighter colors in. But I still have my comfort zone that I tend to default to. Given that, it […]

Hands, hands, my kingdom for some hands!

This is the post in which I am reminded again of how difficult it is to take pictures of your own hands, even with a remote for your camera. I’ve got a fingerless mitt pattern (in 2 sizes and 2 lengths) ready to go up for sale tomorrow if I can only get some pictures […]

Sweet, Sweet Georgia!

Felicia of Sweet Georgia Yarns sent me some really lovely Cashmere and Silk lace weight. It was swatch #4 in the last post. I LOVE this yarn. I flows through my fingers and it slinks into stitches. When I set it down, it calls to me to come back and wrap my hands in it. […]

Pattern Release: Dimorphous Mittens

It all started with Norma (doesn’t it always 😉 )… She sent me this sketch of a mitten that was dancing around in her brain. A double mitten that would keep her hands warm through all of the levels of Vermont winters. Norma provided the concept, and I worked out the details. I present to […]

Socks Galore!!

I found my camera cable after having it lost for a while (when I moved everything around to put an eliptical in my house) and just last night got around to finding it. This week is full of LONG hours of training at my full-time job (I worked 10 hours yesterday and barely scratched the […]
