I’ve thought of 2023 as Senior Year of the pandemic. Not because there’s any graduation or ending in sight, just because it was the fourth year, and I feel like we’ve all grown and changed so much since 2020, or Freshman Year. 2023 was a bit rough—it’s the year I finally got covid—and it’s alsoContinue reading “My 2023 wrap up… making & doing”

Knit kits! And other stuff! Yeah!
Kits! I now have kits! Just barely in time for last-minute holiday gifting, they are mostly small quick knits… All kits are with recycled yarn, some of it hand-dyed, and everything else you need except the needles. There are five different kit types. First, light-switch plate cover (pattern info): I just knit up a new oneContinue reading “Knit kits! And other stuff! Yeah!”

December donation drive + Remixed mega-update!
A few days ago, Bristol Ivy posted this message on instagram: I try hard not to get too political on here (with limited success sometimes) but right now I’m just worn out. Worn out by the violence, the sadness, the ignorance, the demonization, and the needless devastation happening all over the world. So I’m goingContinue reading “December donation drive + Remixed mega-update!”

New pattern: Siskiyou!
It’s now officially October, and I have a fresh new pattern for you, for the chilly season! Siskiyou is a hat inspired by the Douglas Fir trees of Oregon. (On ravelry here!) It features a twisted stitch trees design (3 different trees), which happens to be reversible! I was given this Snowy colorway yarn byContinue reading “New pattern: Siskiyou!”
New pattern: Galax Shawl in Interweave Knits Gifts issue!
My latest pattern can be found in Interweave Knits Gifts 2015, in your local bookstore or yarn shop, or online here. Galax Shawl is a worsted weight, lacy, modular piece, which is almost more like a scarf than a shawl in shape: It’s a long, narrow shawl/wrap, or a wide, lacy, curved scarf, however youContinue reading “New pattern: Galax Shawl in Interweave Knits Gifts issue!”
2015: Year of Making plans and other year-end/beginning stuff
Happy 2015! Do you feel like now we’re officially in the future? I do. 2015. Damn. Anyway, I have some things to share with you and tell you about! I’ll start with the older news… In late December, the 4 days after Christmas, I released a free pattern via social media. (Here it is onContinue reading “2015: Year of Making plans and other year-end/beginning stuff”
Quick project tutorial: Record yarn bowls!
If you follow me on instagram, you may remember my excitement when I hit upon this idea many months ago: (caption: Made a broken record into a yarn bowl! It’s not perfect, but I think this concept could be awesome with some practice!) A photo posted by Lee Meredith (@leethalknits) on Apr 4, 2014 atContinue reading “Quick project tutorial: Record yarn bowls!”
