Coraline Completed
Now for a finished sweater — Pattern: Coraline (ravelry link) by Ysolda Teague Yarn: Sirdar Balmoral, which I bought in a dingy old bag full from KnitCraft in Odgen, UT. But turns out that the yarn has been un-discontinued (at least in the UK)! I’m not sure how the new version resembles the old version […]
Chevron Socks
And here’s another pair of socks that I haven’t shown you as a WIP and now show you as an FO. It’s magic! Pattern: Made up, knit from the top down (I usually knit socks from the toe up for C since he likes them as tall as possible), on 76 sts, in a 2×2 […]

Of Sweaters and Friends and Harlots
Aside from being a great opportunity to meet with other knitters, one of Stephanie‘s book tour stops always ends up being amusing and entertaining. She’s funny on stage, but she’s even funnier when you get her out from in front of all those staring, clapping people. Dinner with the grrls is always fun and this […]
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 […]
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 […]
Persephone Scarf
This is the handspun angora/silk version of this scarf. I’ll be making another version of it in a commercial yarn (I’m leaning toward Dream in Color Baby) and release the pattern on about April 15th. The pattern for the handspun version is going out with the final offering for the Wooly Wonka Exotic Fibers Club. […]
Babies, Babies EVERYWHERE!
Is it just me or is everyone pregnant?! There are a ton of people in blogland, and a ton of people IRL just popping out the babies! Most of the time I tend to think that the mother is neglected in favor of the coming child (for instance, people ask a mother-to-be how the BABY […]
