NaKniSwe…not so much
Well, I was planning on designing a new argyle cardigan for this year’s NaKniSweMo, but the fates were against me. This was last year’s cardigan: I liked it well enough (I still wear it all the time), but as far as design went I knew I wanted to revise it before publishing the pattern. First, [...]
Giganto-Blanket FAQ Page
I’ve been fielding a lot of questions about my giganto-blanket lately, so I thought I’d put together a FAQ page for y’all — here the link. If you have any additional questions, feel free to comment on the page and I’ll try to answer them for ya. I hope it’s helpful!
Like Atlas, but with wool
I’m making another giganto-blanket this week. This time I thought it’d be fun to wind all the wool up into one huge ball instead of a few smaller ones. I think it’s really exciting. Molly’s a little skeptical. Have questions about this blanket? Check out the FAQ!
No respect
This is what Molly thinks of my new sweater design: Not much, apparently.
Coming up for air
Will someone please tell me how it got to be October so soon? I just realized I hadn’t blogged for a while, and I thought it had been a couple weeks or maybe a month since my last post. Well, it turns out it’s been nearly two months and my last post was pretty half-assed, [...]

Designing Again
I’m finally designing something original again. Well, “original” is a relative term. My friend asked me to recreate her most favorite piece of clothing, which happens to be a knit jacket of unknown corporate origin. Gap or J.Crew or something… we don’t know. (If we did, she’d just buy another one and save me the [...]

Spudtastic
Hello! I haven’t heard from my stepsister about whether she’s received this adorable little knit toy in the mail yet, but I assume it’s because she has more important things going on. You know, like being 9 months pregnant right in the middle of a crazy heat wave… stuff like that. But I’ve waited about [...]
