Knitscene and Hannah Fettig
If you haven’t done so already, I highly recommend you go pick up the Fall 2010 issue of Knitscene Magazine.
I was lucky to get the opportunity to interview featured designer Hannah Fettig in this issue. She’s such a cool designer, and she’s a real inspiration when it comes to publishing patterns on the web.
Hannah whipped [...]
“The Office” visits my office!
So, yeah… I know I haven’t posted a lot of knitting on here recently. My bad. I blame a combination of:
Super-secret knitting projects I can’t share
Being really busy in my personal and work life
Leprechauns
I’m preparing a super-special post to tell you about the feature article I wrote in this issue of Knitscene, but first, [...]
Once Around the Block
The entrelac baby blanket is finished.
Check it out on Ravelry.
I used about 5 1/2 skeins of Mochi Plus, which translated to a 33″ by 23″ blanket before blocking. But after blocking…
…it turned into a 36″ square piece of fabric. Not too shabby.
I cast on 77 stitches, and knit your standard entrelac with 11 blocks [...]
Old Standby
I’ve been busy working on getting my Perpendicular pattern ready for release, but in the meantime I’ve fallen back on an old standy: entrelac.
I’m making a baby blanket out of Crystal Palace Mochi Plus in the “Intense Rainbow” colorway, and I couldn’t think of a better stitch pattern for this yarn. My stepsister is having [...]
Knitscene Easy 2010
I was lucky enough to contribute to the special issue of Knitscene Easy, on newsstands April 13, 2010 (that’s tomorrow, folks!)
I wrote a little article about how to start your own knitblog. How very apropos of me, huh?
Though the issue is targeted to beginning knitters, the patterns are totally adorable and are a far cry [...]

Refine School is in Session
EXCITING EDIT: You can now buy this pattern on Ravelry!
I’d like you all to meet my most recent creation, Refine School:
The title is a nod to the pattern Old School, the much-larger argyle bag from my book, Picture Perfect Knits.
I bought the yarn for this (the old standby Lamb’s Pride Bulky) thinking I was [...]
Perpendicular and Ombre
My desire to blog regularly has been met with the craziness that is my everyday life.
Life won this battle. This is the first new post in almost two months. Blerg.
The good news is I have two finished objects to show you. Bonus: they’re both original designs! The first is my “Perpendicular” baby sweater [Ravelry]:
I have [...]
Responding to the Knit-Signal
The Yarn Harlot has thrown up her version of the bat signal: the knit-signal. She’s asking for knitters to come together and help out Haiti.
She asked for knitters to come together and donate money to Doctors Without Borders under the umbrella of Knitters Without Borders.
I wanted to donate some money to the Haiti relief [...]
Goodbye and Hello
There’s lots of knitting going on here, but unfortunately not a lot of pictures to prove it. Blogs are better with pictures, so I’ll try to keep this short.
My good friend Hoang is moving from Los Angeles to Denver this week, so he had a going-away party on Saturday night. He’s been asking me [...]
