I put together this basic photography tips photo presentation about a year ago to share with Craftstylish bloggers, and put it up on flickr so anyone could check it out, but now that there is a lightbox-along happening in the craft community, I thought it would be a good idea to share these few tipsContinue reading “A few photography tips, with and without a light box…”

New Pattern: Shapeshifter!
It’s here! Shapeshifter is an any-gauge pattern and can be worn a seemingly endless number of ways, giving it truly infinite possibility! (Many thanks to April for thinking up the fabulous name!) It’s an asymmetrical chevron shaped flat piece, with very basic eyelet lace making buttonholes all over, along every edge and down the off-centerContinue reading “New Pattern: Shapeshifter!”
March 3rd – 9th photos
I’m so sorry to have blogged nothing between 2 photo-of-the-day posts a week apart, I’m trying hard to give you more value, really I am! (speaking of Value, I’m also trying to spend a bit of time in Diane’s free online class on the subject, today only, be sure to check it out!) The lastContinue reading “March 3rd – 9th photos”
February 21st – March 2nd photos
Lots of knitting with orange in this group! I promise, I won’t use orange yarn again for awhile! (at least, like, a few weeks…) Oh and a quick hello to any new followers who came over from Craft or One Pretty Thing for my dyeing tutorial! I am planning more tutorials for the near future,Continue reading “February 21st – March 2nd photos”
Some reflection, a survey, and a design preview for you!
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my business, with some things coinciding and pushing me to get more organized and really figure out what I should be focusing on. 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!”

Oh first of all, there’s only a few more days to sign up for the March club – and I’m really excited about March, it’s gonna be a fun one!! Ok now for February… There’s everything above, but I’ll start with the yarn… The 10 yards of recycled spun yarn is called Night Is TheContinue reading “February leethal quick knits club!”
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!”
February 1st – 20th photos
Ok these have really built up over the last few weeks… oops… and I’m hard at work trying to finish up this pattern, so I’ll keep the captions semi-brief… Pete’s vacation meant lots of eating out (we don’t normally eat out this much!) and fun times, yay! 2nd – had dinner at the best sandwichContinue reading “February 1st – 20th photos”
New mini-ebook: First 4 months of Club Patterns!
Oh goodness, I have not been able to keep up with everything while Pete’s on vacation! I’ve been working on deadline-y projects whenever I can squeeze it in, and I’ve spent the last many days (week? I don’t even know) working on this project I’m about to announce, bit by bit, but I’ve been completelyContinue reading “New mini-ebook: First 4 months of Club Patterns!”
