Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
These two baby sweaters more or less explain themselves – Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jackets, knitted in my very own Second Chance Worsted. (If you’re curious, it took about 300 yards of each color to do both jackets.) They are the medium size, in worsted weight, so they’re rather big for newborn twins. But they … More Two Baby Surprises
Merry Christmas to all! Huzzah and hooray! Today is Christmas which means that by the time you get around to reading this, all the bazillion knitted things I’ve been knitting and not showing you have gone out to their respective recipients, and you get visual proof that I haven’t secretly developed a wool allergy. I … More And a Fuzzy Pair of Fingerless Mitts
For everyone who did the math, whether algebraically or geometrically or logically or intuitively, you were right. I did not have enough white. It would have been obvious if I’d admitted it to myself, but deep down I sort of wanted my socks to look the same. I didn’t think of myself as an advocate … More Finnished
It has officially taken me as long to blog about November’s socks as it took me to knit them. You have no reason to believe me, but I did in fact finish these socks on November 8th. Though I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t tell you that most of the reason I waited to … More The Rewards of Arbitrary Persistance
This past Wednesday, we were privileged to attend Trinity’s Mission Day, which was like a one-day mini-conference on Anglican missionary work. We were in workshops and discussions and gatherings all day, and of course, I knit the whole time. As I sat there, listening to the stories of those who have spent their lives doing … More Whose Hose are Those Hose?
I finally got my entries back from the State Fair – I moved before the fair ended, so I didn’t get my stuff back until this week. Now that it’s all in one place, I think I can say I did, um, hm, pretty well! It’s a little weird coming right out there and tooting … More The Haul
On Saturday night, with my nose in a book, I cast off the collar of my Featherweight Cardigan. (I had to put down the book to cast in the ends.) I waited until the morning to block it, as our linoleum floors mean that pretty much my only blocking surface is our bed. Magically, when … More ‘Tis a gift to be free
I don’t speak a lick of French, so I feel pretty clever in attempting a French pun, but feel free to smack me down if I’ve said something marvelously inappropriate. It was worth the risk, because here it is Sept. 22nd, and le Chausettes de Dentille are fini. They are cute, and wonder of wonders, … More Le pieds de resistance
I have knit another baby blanket. It’s a very simple pattern that seems to reside in the group consciousness of knitters everywhere. You cast on a few and knit every row, increase every other row with a YO two stitches from each edge, then when half the yarn is gone, you decrease every other row … More This Blanket
Finished objects flying at you in a frenzy of confusion! You think I’m lyin’ but it’s only an illusion! Okay yeah I am not metal at all. But this hat is pretty hardcore. It’s the “Proverbial Cap” by Meg Swanson, found in the latest issue of Interweave Knits, Fall 2010, knit with Berroco Pure Merino. … More Knitting Metal
