I ordered the Winterwoods Sampler from Posie Gets Cozy a little while ago, along with a couple of hoops and needles. I did some cross-stitch when I was a kid, but haven’t done it in years ̵...
Hey! I finished one of my crochet projects! I’ve had a sad, naked couch cushion for ages (well, not that naked – I put a bed pillowcase on it) and it was finally time to do something abou...
Along with my Wool-eater obsession, I also started another crochet project – a ripple blanket. I’d bought a bunch of Cascade Eco Wool awhile ago with the plan of making a knitted blanket,...
Finally measured my giant wool-eater against the cushion – why is this cover taking so long?! Because it’s an 18″ pillow, that’s why. Hrmph. I can really only do 1 tier at a s...
There’s so much I want to share with you all, but there’s lots still under wraps for the time being! I’m working hard on new patterns though. In the meanwhile…more Wool-eater?...
What’s on my needles? Lots, but not a lot I can share with you! Squishy garter stitch in Colinette Jitterbug. A random scrap endeavour – i-cord knit with the very last bits of sock yarns,...
My pace is slowing down a bit after my initial excitement, mostly because I remembered that crochet is harder on my hands and wrists than knitting is! I’ll have to take it easy. I’m using...
Happy Leap Day! Doing anything special today? Me, I’m staying home with my yarn and chores. Not very exciting, but productive! I finished this scarf for my fella awhile ago, but since he’...
Wool Eater.
The shawl that I designed for Tanis Fiber Arts’ Year in Colour last year is now available for individual purchase! UXBRIDGE SHAWL This sweet shawlette is perfect for that special skein of sock ...
I’ve got a wee little pattern release for you! Geary Avenue is a quick to knit earband that uses just a little bit of yarn. An interesting cable pattern makes it fun to knit, as well as super c...
I don’t often knit from other patterns, just because I’m so busy trying to work on my own! But I needed a new hat for the random cold snaps we’ve been having amidst weirdly mild wea...
A couple of years ago when I went to TNNA in Columbus, I met Stephen West for the first time. Impressions? Sweet as anything, tall, has some wild trousers! I was exhibiting some of my pieces in Ysold...
It’s the perfect time of year for cables! They’re so fun to knit, too. Thick, squishy warm socks out of Dream in Color Classy, in Purple Rain. With the leftovers from the socks, I whipped...
How was your new year’s? Me, I made a delicious vegetarian moussaka for dinner, dipped homemade peppermint patties in chocolate for gifts, and hit up not just one but two parties! (Let’s ...
If I see you in person, you might’ve heard me talk about this project – but since my handsome fella reads my Twitter and Facebook, and sometimes Flickr and this here blog, I couldn’...
My presents are almost done, I’ve done lots of baking to take up to my parents’ house (though my oven seems bent on ruining a lot of cookies), and the house is reasonably clean. Bring on ...
A tiny free pattern for a tiny Santa hat ornament! MATERIALS Red and white yarn, a few yards Appropriate double pointed needles tapestry needle - I used Ultra Alpaca Light and doubled some red finger...
I knit up this little cowl ages ago and never blogged it! I’ve been terribly remiss in my FO shoots. This one is just single round stripes in some leftovers of DK weight cashmere, mostly Handma...
I’ve been working away on a bunch of wee things for the holidays. But it’s not all tiny sweaters around here! While looking for scrap yarns to knit them with, I came across a handspun swe...
I finished my lace sweater! It isn’t blocked yet, and it needs buttons. But it’s off the needles, and I’ve even woven in the ends. I’m really pleased with it. And it only took...
I was digging through my closet the other day, trying to organize my stuff ahead of a trip to Ikea (gotta plan to figure out what I need!), when I came across a long, long neglected WIP. This one was...
I really busted it out this week on my sweater with bows! The upper body went really fast with lots of decreases. Seaming raglans is really easy and satisfying. Even the button band didn’t take...
It’s a pretty gloomy day today, with rain in the forecast, but I’m planning to be cozied up with lots of tea and knitting! I’ve gotten pretty far on reknitting my sweater with bows ...
How about a nice bright cowl to liven up your Thursday? TURBULENCE COWL This fun and funky cowl makes the most of small amounts of yarn. Short row wedges and stripes combine to form wonderfully sculp...
I’m reposting this blog entry from last year – I’m a bit late this year, but you still have time to make your own poppy! It only takes about half an hour. Right after Halloween in C...
Yesterday I worked at the the yarn shop, and I took my bow sweater to work on it there. Since I’m back in again today, I left the project there overnight. So when I came home, I just had to cas...
Well. I was knitting along on my Ultra Alpaca sweater from a few posts ago, and I got up to the underarm – only to realize that while I’d planned the bow spacing correctly, I hadn’t...
Right-o. So it’s blog posting month, and sweater knitting month, and I’m a bit wishy washy about both! I must admit, seeing lots of new posts from old blog friends is inspiring me to blog...
I love the chill in the air and pulling out my woollens, but the end of the year is coming up so fast! Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough time to breathe before the next project/to-do/ev...
