Doing creative things for a living is damn hard sometimes, and I’ve felt a little lost for the last few days. I want to justContinue reading “Some reflection, a survey, and a design preview for you!”

Tutorial: Crock Pot Yarn Dyeing!
You may not even know about these, but way back at the beginning of this blog, almost 3 years ago, I did a couple of kool-aid yarn dyeing tutorials. They were specifically how-tos for getting particular kinds of variegation (as opposed to dyeing basics) – part 1 being three blending colors, part 2 longer stripesContinue reading “Tutorial: Crock Pot Yarn Dyeing!”
New Pattern: Twisted Ankles!
Want to knit some legwarmers?! My newest design, Twisted Ankles is squishy, bulky, cabley yumminess – with the cables twisting around each other, then bursting off the garter stitch base to become buttonhole straps, wrapping around the backs of your legs… There’s a smaller size, which are like ankle warmers (the blue/green and white examples)Continue reading “New Pattern: Twisted Ankles!”

New Conversation-Friendly Comment System, plus thoughts on Free
Ok, it’s a fact: I am a terrible blog host when it comes to comments. I love getting them, as all bloggers do, but I just suck at responding, so I’ve done something to change that! The main reason I’m awful at replying is that the way my wordpress commenting has always worked made itContinue reading “New Conversation-Friendly Comment System, plus thoughts on Free”
