I’ve been toying with the idea of releasing patterns as small collections. Like 3 or 4 patterns at a time that all sort of fit together with a theme. Being the obsessive type person I am, I have listed the pros and cons. Pros: Less time spent overall to post the patterns, change all my […]

If you've been hiding under a rock for the last 19 days…

Andromeda on the needles
I’m WELL into the shawl that I was going to start while traveling for TNNA in Impulse of Delight Blissful BFL, and I want to show it to you and get some opinions. With this piece I was trying to play with the movement of stitches, having both subtle curving motion and clean decrease lines […]
You can call me "Pusher"
For those who were curious about where to get the yarn from yesterday’s post, Karida responded that she’s got a shipment en route to The Loopy Ewe, but until Sherri gets it in stock, the best place to get it is from Knit Happens. They’re located in Virginia, but Karida said they ship daily worldwide, […]
Eye Candy Friday: Silk Yarn
I love this yarn with the same fierce passion that I normally reserve for the hatred of anything pink. The fact that this pink yarn has garnered as much love as it has should tell you something. It’s AMAZING! It’s destined to grow up and become a shawl, but for now it is much petted. […]

Twist Collective to Publish Cleite

Bit of an update
Ruth has put out a call for some information regarding socks and the length of rows. I’m sure she’s got something intriguing about hand-dyed yarn and row length up her sleeve and in exchange for that info, she’ll add you to a drawing for some of her beautiful hand-dyed sock yarn. If you’re already knitting […]
Pattern Release: Foliage Shawl
May I present, the Foliage Shawl. See storefront to purchase. This top-down shawl is worked in a simple leaf pattern that is both easy to memorize and easy to work, making the body of the shawl a joy to knit, while the border infuses the piece with a zest that makes this an accessory you’ll […]
Tutorial: Knitted-on Border
ETA: By request, I’ve done a video tutorial on this topic. You can watch it below…. A knitted-on border is a great way to add an interesting edge to a shawl or wrap, or to add some decoration to the edge of a sweater or tank. I’ve used this technique many times, including the hem […]
