Moving around!

Hello friends! Just a quick note to say that I am knitting, just not really photographing much and forgetting to talk about things in general, but more importantly, this week’s Friday Finds and all...

Hobbit-y Friday Finds

Happy New Year to you all! First Friday of the new year calls for something a little extra special, don’t you think? You probably all realize that I’m a big nerd and that I’m in love with The...

Contest Winner Week 4

Very belated today—sorry about that! I was running around New York City and didn’t have a chance to run the random number generator. This last winner is… Marion! Marion, I’ll be in touch with you...

Year in Review: 2012

Goodbye 2012! Overall this year pretty much balanced out between good times and less good times, but the back end was definitely overloaded with crap, and created situations that are unlikely to...

Month in Review: December 2012

So it’s a day early, but I want to talk about the year in review tomorrow, so I’m posting this today. December was a good month, knitting wise! I finished my Stonecutter’s Cardigan… and my Roam...

Sweaterday: Swimming Along

I made a lot of progress on my I∂unn sweater this week. I brought four balls of yarn (which miraculously arrived the night before I left—a mailperson dropped them off around 7 PM, well after my...

New Year Planning

Some of us have spent the last few weeks looking forward to the new year (well, those of us who were pretty sure the world wasn’t actually going to end on December 21). Most of this year was not so...

Merry Christmas!

I’d like to wish all of you reading this a very Merry Christmas if you’re celebrating, and a fantastic Tuesday if you’re not. Best wishes to you and yours for the holiday season and coming new year.

Week 3 Contest Winner!

We have another winner! This week’s Friday Finds contest winner is bittergirl! Congratulations! And thank you to everyone who commented on the last post.

Sweaterday: Roam Tunic

This, my friends, is the fastest sweater I have ever knit. Subtracting a few days from overall knitting time (because I was finishing my Stonecutter’s Cardigan and working on a few other smaller...

Sweaterday: Belated Edition

This weekend got away from me in a variety of ways, so I didn’t get around to posting this on Saturday. Or Sunday. But I wanted to show you all the progress I’ve made on my Roam Tunic, and how …...

Friday Finds

HAPPY HOBBIT DAY! I’m only a little excited to finally see this movie. EEEEEEEEEEEEE. I may have gone a little crazier than normal this week, and I’ll talk more about that in tomorrow’s Sweaterday...

FO: Age of Brass and Steam Shawl

This shawl was supposed to be shown off last month, but I never was able to get time to photograph it (that’s pretty much the theme of all my posts lately, isn’t it?) This is my Age of Brass and …...

Contest winner!

Thanks to everyone who left a comment letting me know what they liked from last week’s Friday Finds! It’s great to get feedback and know that people are enjoying the feature. A quick update to the...

Sweaterday: Masochist Edition

What kind of idiot leaves the house before 8 AM when it’s about 20° outside to take photos of knitwear? Masochists, that’s who. The thought process was “The light will be awesome and the high for...

Friday Finds

First Friday Finds of December, which is a pretty awesome month if you ask me. My birthday is later this month, next week The Hobbit comes out, and these are the last few days of another year!...

Fancy Tiger’s Holiday Handmade Fair, 2012 Edition

The Holiday Handmade fair organized by Denver yarn and sewing shop Fancy Tiger has become something of a tradition amongst my friends and I. We’ve gone the last four years; three years ago, when it...

Project 365

I’m getting better about remembering to take a picture everyday for the most part, but still having some blips! The only photo I took on Monday was… special, and I had to crop out a friend’s face...

Sweaterday: Two for One

Happy December 1! As I mentioned on Thursday, I’m nearly done with my Stonecutter’s Cardigan. I snapped some photos yesterday while we had some sunlight. Why yes, those are needles still holding...

Friday Finds

Happy Friday! And happy last day of November! This post means I’ve successfully completed another year of NaBloPoMo, with the help of some fantastic people. But there may actually be a few more...

Month in Review: November 2012

Posting this a day before the official end of the month because tomorrow is Friday and that means Friday Finds, and also, I needed something to post today. Heh. SO. I’ve nearly finished a cardigan,...

Book Review: Island by Jane Richmond

Jane Richmond is one of those designers I’ve been keeping an eye on for a couple of years. I’ve knit her Mustard Scarf, and it’s one of those great stashbuster + quick knitting patterns. I’ve got...

Today’s guest post comes from Joanna of Slate Falls Press. Joanna is one half of the creative talent behind the incredibly beautiful Phoebe’s Sweater and today she’s here to share her adventures in...

Kickstart: Teen Wolf

Yes, you read that right, today I’m talking about MTV’s show Teen Wolf. I know. I know! At first I was like “What? A TV show based on that old ’80s movie?” Think about this—about 10 years ago, I...

Project 365

Another week, some more photos! The theme this week was “oops, I forgot to take a photo earlier and now it’s stupidly dark… drat.” Day 18 – November 18 – Gingersnaps! Day 19 – November 19 –...

Sweaterday: Almost there

Sleeves are done! And now they’re drying. One of the reasons I’m really excited about this pattern is that I’ve never done saddles sleeves before. The long strip above the sleeve cap forms the top...
