In Depth: Striped Top Color Study Analysis
August 5, 2017
In my second video, I explored spinning a striped top with different drafting techniques and 2-ply plying arrangements in order to achieve different color affects.

All for you, because I’m excited to share that the Nebula Medallion Vest pattern is finished! Ravelry pattern page here.

A Hat: …Really Finished
February 25, 2017
Ugh. Writing all these posts about unfinished things lit a fire under my bum to do something about these projects. (Not counting the Kidlet; she’s not supposed to be finished.) I don’t want pretty knitted things to just sit around unused for lack of a little extra work! So a few days ago, N and … More A Hat: …Really Finished
Fuzzy Maybe Finished?
February 22, 2017
In the background, quietly, while all this spinning and blah blah has been going on, the Mitered Magnificence has continued to grow.

Seven rows of squares… Eight rows… Ten rows… By eleven rows, you … More Fuzzy Maybe Finished?

Fuzzies in Flight
January 22, 2017
One day, N is going to figure out that I will knit her absolutely anything she asks me for. On that day, I will be in trouble. The girls literally call the multiple balls of mohair, from the Mitered Majesty, my “fuzzies.” They ask to hold them, and under my nervous gaze, they parade around … More Fuzzies in Flight
We Two Mice of Nunavut Are
January 6, 2017
Happy Epiphany! Epiphany always feels to me as if it’s the actual last day of Christmas, since after all, it’s the day Jesus got his gifts. So I thought I’d share one more thing today. I already showed you the girls’ big Christmas present, when I finished the Phoebe dolls way back in October. N caught … More We Two Mice of Nunavut Are
And a Pair of Mittens for my Grammy
January 5, 2017
The Twelfth Day of Christmas Knitting concludes this season with my first and favorite gift that I made this year. What with the new idea I had this year of applying actual forethought to my Christmas knitting, I had some strategic conversations in early October. One was with my mother, who had a suggestion for a … More And a Pair of Mittens for my Grammy
