I’m not sure which I’m more in love with, the Zephyros Shawl, or my new camera! You can see the whole flickr set here. When I’ve struggled with a project I always get a little pissed off at it by the end. I’m less than pleased until I look at it through the lens of […]

Pattern Release: Flutter Scarf
May I present, the Flutter Scarf. Pattern available through my online shop. The yarn is an artisan laceweight from Skylark Yarns called Les Oiseaux. The colorways are beautiful and subtle, and the whole scarf took one skein of the yarn. Yarn Requirements: Skylark Yarns Les Oiseaux laceweight yarn (70 % alpaca/30% soy fiber, 440 yards) […]
In which FO's you didn't know I was working on appear.
While I was struggling with the shawl (it’s been a LONG struggle), I still had the desire to knit, so I finished a couple of side projects. The friend who modeled the Serpentine Mitts for the pattern hired me to make her a pair. She calls them “Oliver Twist” gloves. Pattern: My own Serpentine Mitts […]
Random FO's, mostly cotton
I find it rather funny that the knitting FO’s I’m showing you in this post were all HELL to knit. It’s like I’ve shown you all the lovely wool ones and now all that’s left are the ones that make me cringe with their inelastic, hard-on-my-hands cotton-ness. The first, is the socks for Patrick Rothfuss. […]
Flying Cables
Pattern: Flying Cables Sweater by Amy King (Kit here) Yarn: Spunky Eclectic Big Ball Chunky in Cranberry Needles: 5 mm (US 8) 24″ circular Modifications: I added width to get a bust size closer to my ACTUAL bust size by adding an extra cable on each side of both front and back. I fudged the […]
Happy Solstice!
Solstice dawned cold, snowy and like a good day to ignore the world and stay inside. I did a little bit of that, but when the sun came out, I just HAD to be out in it! Every year, the last week or two before solstice is hard for me. The darkness drags on and […]
Sick and Tired, literally
There are nasties going around and we’ve got them. C was puking night before last, while I am doing my very best to fight it all off and hoping that I’m not just prolonging the inevitable. I missed SnB last night *sniff* and stayed home and slept instead, hoping that I can be healthy enough […]
Let the Holiday knitting commence!
Lest you think I have not been knitting, let me parade some FO’s for you. First there’s the Cleite Shawl, which I finished the spinning for as well as the knitting of. The yarn is alpaca laceweight handspun by me to about 30 wpi. That stuff was TINY! And I over plied it, which was […]
Juno Regina
The Knitty Surprise is up and you may see something you remember. May I present the Juno Regina Stole! I LOVE this piece. The yarn, the shape, the diamond motif… every bit of it. And I hope you love it as well. If you’re new here, please feel free to leave a comment, and check […]
Logan River Wrap
Hey all, remember the secret tweedy project? It’s up in the Winter 2007 Interweave Knits Preview. It’s the Logan River Wrap knit in Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran. The design features cables, twisted stitches and a winding drop stitch pattern. As well as a self-scalloping cabled edge with short-row mitered corners that make the edging one […]
