Giganto-News
You guys! My giganto-blanket is #19 and #20 on this Buzzfeed list. How cool is that? Thanks, Buzzfeed! I also wanted to give y’all a sneak peek at my newest giganto-thingie. This is a cabled throw I made as a wedding gift for my dear friends Jen and Stephen. I’ll do a full post with [...]
Buck? Dunny? Raduck?
I felt like doing a little stash busting recently, so I decided to make one of Susan B. Anderson’s reversible knit toys. I thought this little duck/bunny toy was irresistibly cute (and the pattern is free to boot!), so I took a stab at it. Here it is in action: Whatever you call this thing, [...]
‘Tis the Season
I’m not usually all that excited about Christmas, in fact, I’m usually pretty ambivalent about the whole thing.

The part that gets me down is the rampant consumerism, the mandatory conspicuous consumption that [...]

I thought maybe I’d send it to a friend in a colder climate, but after trying on the cowl I [...]
Election Day 2012

Yesterday, when I pulled out the sweater to show the world who I support for president in 2012, I realized that my choice may not have changed since 2008, but my waistline has a bit… It wasn’t [...]
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 [...]
Obama-rama – Free Pattern!
I will blog about the process of making this sweater soon, but for now I only have the energy to post the pattern to download! Download the free Obama-rama pattern! Check it out on Ravelry Update: for the 2012 election, I’ve turned this into a cardigan! And if you want to learn more about intarsia [...]
