I’ve been pretty into Instagram since I got my iPhone early this year, and I’ve been wanting to figure out ways to display my favorite shots. The other day I thought, how about a calendar? So I made one! I love how it turned out: simple, functional, a lovely display of some of my favoriteContinue reading “leethal 2014 photo calendar!”

Knit gifts of the past!

I am hard at work, dividing my time between multiple designContinue reading “Year coming to end announcements and future pattern release stuff…”
New (free!) pattern: Superduper in Knitty!
Have you seen the new Knitty yet? That’s me on the cover! Whoa!! Very exciting! My pattern is pretty bonkers, but only because of the yarn, which I feel like shouldn’t even be called “yarn”… it needs some other name… It’s The BagSmith Big Stitch Merino, and it knits up on size US 36 (20mm)Continue reading “New (free!) pattern: Superduper in Knitty!”
