Knitscene Summer 2012
This post is about a month late, but I guess it’s better than never, right? (This is what I’ve been told my whole life, but I’m starting to question the logic. “Better late than never” doesn’t always apply, like, for instance, death. Isn’t death better never than late? Discuss amongst yourselves…) Back on topic: I [...]
Ruffle Scarves
Have you all discovered ruffle yarn yet? I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to figure out what to do with this stuff, but now that I know I’m on a roll! I’ve made 4 or 5 scarves already and given them out to friends as gifts. The beauty of the ruffle yarn [...]
Spring Cleaning
Today I decided to clean out my yarn closet. It’s not for the faint of heart. Wish me luck!
Colorwork Time
You know it’s bad when you order 9 different colors and you wonder “did I get enough?” This is for a secret project that needs to be done within a week! Eek! Wish me luck!
Chroma Socks
I made some socks: They have a cute little cable along the backside: I think my old, plaid pajamas pants go very nicely with them, don’t you? One sock was created out of the Chroma Worsted left over from my Gondola Cables Hat, and the other took another half skein, so I’d say these are [...]
Gondola Cables — Free Hat Pattern!
Check out the new hat I just made: It’s a real simple beanie made from far less than one skein of KnitPicks Chroma Worsted in the Galapagos colorway. Check out how much yarn I had left after knitting this bad boy: I’d say I used two-thirds to three-quarters of the skein (I don’t have my [...]
Afraid of changes…
I’m not necessarily afraid of change, but lately I’ve been afraid of changes… changes to my blog, that is. I got hacked. A bunch of times. I think it was my web-host’s fault, but it was a huge pain. I work as a web developer, so I knew how to fix the problems, but that [...]
Noro Iro… drool
Noro Iro. So beautiful. That is all.
NaKniSwe…more or less
Here’s my non-NaKniSweMo jacket. Finished! Hurrah! It’s got pockets! And a hood! (For some reason I thought staring into the mid-day sun was a good idea for that last picture.) Unfortunately, it’s only about 15,000 stitches instead of the 50,000 required by NaKniSweMo, so this is more like an early Christmas present I’m gifting to [...]
New Pattern – Sneak Peek
I finally got to take some pictures of my newest design, a long cabled jacket I’m calling “Knockoff.” (I’ll explain the name later, I promise.) Check it out! More pictures and the pattern to come!
