The yoke is done, the underarms are grafted and the sleeve hems have been sewn down. The ends are woven in and it’s time to steek the piece. I’m a little bit nervous. No turning back after that. I want to make sure that I have time when I do sit down to do it […]

Pattern Release: Persephone Scarf
Now available in the store. And also available as a kit from Judy at the Ball and Skein shop. A perfect scarf for spring and summer. Light and airy, but just warm enough for those breezy spring and summer nights. Works up quickly in a fingering weight yarn. This pattern could easily be worked in […]
EPS Continued
I finished the second sleeve on EPS, and joined the sleeves to the body. It was fiddley and uncomfortable to knit the first few rounds, but improved and after a few rounds I started the short rows. I worked 3 sets of short rows, using the center point of each sleeve as my reference. The […]
Sweater Madness, Part 2
This is where we get deep into the madness part. And it’s a picture heavy brand of madness, so my apologies to those on Dial-up. So I’m working on the EPS still, but I hear the siren song from the many piles of yarn stowed around my house. While sock yarn is singing and crooning […]
Sweater Madness, Part 1
My sock yarn stash may be growing (I can neither confirm nor deny reports of that nature), but right now I’m enamoured with sweaters! I finally did the math and began my EPS – Elizabeth (Zimmerman)’s Percentage Sweater. The basic idea behind this sweater is that you take your chest measurement (or bust measurement for […]
Something pretty to look at; or, I hate taxes, thank God it's over for another year!
A good way to avoid doing your taxes is to have self-imposed knitting deadlines. Like this little wisp of a shawl. Knit in less than a week, with a heavier weight yarn, the whole thing was satisfying from start to finish and I never got bored. Pattern: Foliage Shawl, my design, soon to be released […]
Persephone Version 2
I finished my second persephone scarf. Since I was offering it for publication, instead of fielding a million questions about a suitable substitute for the handspun yarn I used for the original, I thought a commercially available fiber would be good. Something that you could compare it to if you wanted to substitute or the […]
Knitters are good people
Apparently I have crazy eyebrows…. So I’ve alluded to it, but didn’t give you all details, but I went to Denver at the end of March for Imbrium‘s wedding. The whole flickr set is here. I didn’t feel comfortable taking pictures of the actual ceremony since there were professional photographers doing that, but it was […]
In which I return without reason.
Wow… I just sort of fell off the face of the planet, didn’t I? I’ve been knitting, I’ve been working (really hard) and neglecting my house, which is really to be expected, considering my MO. But I have knit a lot. In all fairness, I finished this pi shawl before I left for Denver (although […]
Pattern Release: Zephyros Shawl
Zephyros is the Spring Wind in Greek Mythology, the wind of change. Welcome the new life of spring with this clean-lined shawl. Solid enough to keep the chill off on a spring morning, but elegant and interesting to knit, with the wind theme echoed throughout. Pattern now available for download through the MimKnits Online Shop. […]
