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 [...]
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.

As a naturally paranoid person, I have considered the unlikely chance of getting stabbed by a needle while driving or during plane turbulence. But as I had never heard a verifiable [...]
It will haunt your nightmares
How does one get out of a knitting funk? By knitting joke patterns, of course!
This is the famed adult balaclava pattern that has made such a splash on ye olde interweb.
I made this out of some spare Cascade 220 I had in my stash on size 8 needles. It only took a few days, and [...]
