It’s aContinue reading “Twitter Mystery Knit-a-long!”

Remixed pattern #5: Slanted & Enchanted

First things first… As of last week, all Remixed patterns are now for sale individually, so if you’re not into the whole collection or making recycled yarn you can now grab just what you want! Of course, $20 for all 8 patterns is still the best deal ($2.50 per pattern) but now you have theContinue reading “Remixed pattern #5: Slanted & Enchanted”

My first skirt of the season!

Well the weather is still pretty wintery here in Portland, but I’m excited about the bits of sunshine that happen occasionally in the spring, and I’ve recently been feeling the urge to sew up some new warm weather clothes! Most years I tend to have big plans to make lots of new skirts and dresses, which don’tContinue reading “My first skirt of the season!”

Remixed pattern #8: Either/Or

(edited to remove pricing information that’s no longer true)… Either/Or! This final pattern is either fingerless mitts or full mittens, all constructed from the thumbs out. Knit modularly – no seaming or sewing at all, also no short rows, and an extra bonus is very little casting-on and no bind-off at all. This design isContinue reading “Remixed pattern #8: Either/Or”

February photos a day!

I did this photo a day project thing for fun in February, over on my Tumblr, so I’ve gathered my favorite shots from the month together in one place over here. A bit belated, but you know, time flies and whatnot… Here are Banzo’s paws held up by Pete’s hand, just how she likes itContinue reading “February photos a day!”

Pacific Northwest travels and other stuff and things

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! I’ve taken several overnight trips for various purposes, to places as exciting as Seattle and as boring as Salem. I went up north to Washington with my buddies Star, Vivian, and Marcia, for the purpose of going to Madrona fiber arts retreat in Tacoma, but I think hangingContinue reading “Pacific Northwest travels and other stuff and things”

Remixed pattern #6: Freak Out!

It’s here! A custom fit, any-gauge, basic balaclava… …which can fold up into a warm ribbed hat: And you may be able to fold it up different ways for different styles of hats: The other sample I made, my first prototype for figuring out the design specifics, had no negative ease, and I learned thatContinue reading “Remixed pattern #6: Freak Out!”

Pendleton scrap blanket (and matching pillow)!

Awhile back, Susan blogged about a blanket she made with scraps from the Pendleton Woolen Mill Store, I thought it was fabulous, and Pete completely fell in love with it. He’s been a bit Pendleton obsessed since he started getting really into men’s fashion a couple years ago… So we started taking trips over toContinue reading “Pendleton scrap blanket (and matching pillow)!”
