A few of housecleaning bits: Thought you all might like to know, that the Icarus Shawl pattern is FINALLY available as a download! You can find more information here as it is now in the shop. The link has also been added to the sidebar under “Design Portfolio”. I understand that issue of Interweave has […]

Winter…. Blech….

I came out to inches of fresh snow this morning (on top of the snow that was there yesterday), and FRIGID temps (-1 fahrenheit with windchill), and then I got onto my second train and it wasn’t heated (brrr…), and then I had to wait for 15 min. for a bus as all the traffic […]

Ketchup Catch Up

I have a lot to show you, but the sun just barely came out (and blinded me through my VERY west-facing window) so I haven’t been able to take any good pictures. I spun my very best yarn this weekend (a whole 1.5 ounces of fingering weight! And another 2.5 ounces to go) and I […]

Stupid Sock Creature & Brother socks Fini!

Just a couple of FO’s to show you, only one of which is knitted. Her name is Genevieve. Her bottom half is one of those cheap gloves that you buy in grocery stores. I cut the fingers all off evenly, then folded the palm in half so that the thumb was in the center of […]

Icarus done (again)

This may be my second Icarus, but it’s really like finishing it for the first time. It was a completely different experience knitting it the second time around! This time around I just got to follow the pattern (and find the mistakes that were printed in it. I’ll tell you about that in a bit), […]

Better-fitting* Toe-up Heel Flap Tutorial

I have a narrow heel and a relatively high instep. This means that a short row heel made with half the total stitches doesn’t fit me. It wobbles around and feels strange. Plus I don’t like the extra straining bits around the front of my ankle. I love the comfort and fit of the cute […]

Busy busy busy….

M Kathryn finished her Seraphim shawl […]

Happy Halloweeeeeeen!!!!!!!11one

I know, such an original title for today’s post… but LOOK! I have an FO! And JUST in time for Socktoberfest! Yarn: Some Norwegian heavyweight sock yarn that Bonnie dropped on the table at SnB to destash. There were 2 skeins of the tweed and one skein of the white. I tried to find this […]
