Like many Americans, I took advantage of the Memorial Day holiday to take a little trip. More specifically, a 5-day jaunt through the Emigrant Wilderness in California’s beautiful Sierra Nevada...
Just in case my food posts lately have people thinking I only ever eat breakfast and dessert, here’s something I’ve been enjoying for dinner (and the occasional leftovers lunch): Eggplant...
In anticipation of releasing several cabled patterns in the next few months, I’m declaring summer 2012 the summer of cables. And! The first of these patterns will be coming out next week on the...
Check out the tiny tiny amount of knitting left on my double green hat: So close! I’m hoping to get it finished off this week. Here’s a better pattern of how the stitch pattern worked up,...
I call this recipe “kitchen sink” gingerbread because it really does have a little bit of everything. This cake started off as a basic gingerbread recipe from Angry Chicken, but of course...
With a motif that runs over so many rows, finishing two of them on a cardigan body is a big accomplishment, thank you very much: Those waist decreases do help in moving things along. Of all the photo...
Continuing in the theme of building on the basic square, this week’s tutorial is yet another rectangle. Last week we did a two-square rectangle, which is essentially two small squares knit at t...
That hat I started last week? It’s going swimmingly, thank you very much: This newer, looser iteration constitutes a major improvement! Fortunately, it’s still proving to be a fairly quic...

This past weekend was Mother’s Day in the US, and I celebrated by making her a card: If you’re like me and you knit a lot, you probably accumulate a lot of short lengths of leftover yarn....
Remember this hat from last fall? It was cute, but the stitch pattern in single sided form wasn’t well-suited to a close-fitted toque style. So I ripped it out and am reimagining it as a tam, b...
Just a quick post to let you know that I’ve got a definite release date slated for Cocoa Rosa: May 15th (2012, obviously). The pattern includes instructions for four sizes: 6.5 (7, 7.5, 8.25, 8...
I did some more afghan work this weekend which means…another tutorial! Remember the small square from last week, and how I mentioned the small square is a building block for many of the other p...
Yes, a tetris tutorial! I’m making good on my goal of knitting at least one piece per week. Last time I posted about the afghan, I know I said I was going to do a “new” piece, but I...
I made it up to the second (of four) body decreases on my cardigan, which I’ve now dubbed “Harvest”: In addition to having half the body decreases done, I’ve also now worked o...
Long-time readers of this blog have probably seen this project before: My never-ending Tetris afghan. Ravelry informs me that it has only been on the go since 2008, which I guess is not as bad as it ...
Last week I took the plunge and cast-on for the body of my mega cardigan project: It’s taken me that long to get up to the first body decrease! Granted, I have had a lot on my plate, trying to ...
I know I said I was going to post about my colorwork adventures today, but the grey cloudy weather made it impossible to get a good progress shot. So instead, another review of what I’ve been r...
Remember when you were in high school, and you learned all about polar coordinates? And for the next week you and your classmates were all secretly trying to figure out what cool and pretty pictures ...
Once I actually broke open my new ball of Sublime merino, finishing the hat was a snap: Despite all the cable work, it’s a very simple pattern and a very quick knit. Much like the scarf it coor...
I should probably just title my cooking posts: I am a kale addict, part ____. Because really, I am. I am also a breakfast addict, and in my ongoing quest for healthy, filling morning meals, I’v...
I seem to be in a stranded knitting stretch at the moment, with lots of multicolor projects in the works or recently completed! My Cocoa Rosa gloves are all done, and I had enough yarn left to make a...
When I downloaded the themes for Knitscene’s summer 2012 issue last year, I was psyched to see that they were thinking of a storyline centered around leaves. I’ve taken several botany cla...
Like many knitters, I love the look of beautiful, intricate colorwork. You know the kind I’m talking about. Fine gauge, perfect balance of colors, subtle patterns hidden within the larger and m...
This week I finally hauled myself to the yarn store and picked up this little ball of awesome: Sublime merino DK, in dusty grey. I loooooooooove this yarn. Seriously. It’s so smooth and soft, a...
Last night I knocked out two fingers (and the thumb) on the right glove: Yay! Right? I was really speeding along on these things. This morning I was setting up for the middle finger and thought to my...
A new project I started over the weekend: Eventually to become a pair of gloves. The inspiration for these came to me as I was coming back from a run, one of the gardens I passed had the most beautif...
Remember that little piece of cabling I posted about last week? It went and got turned into this: One baby present now ready to go, and 2.5 more balls of yarn out of my stash. I have a big move comin...
