leethal 2014 photo calendar!
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!”
Block puzzle tutorial!
A couple years ago, I made a gift for Disney princess loving Alicia, using wood blocks and pages from thrifted books. I photographed the steps, and then forgot to blog it! So here is how I made it – it only takes a few hours, so you have plenty of time to make one for aContinue reading “Block puzzle tutorial!”
Knit gifts of the past!
In continuing to catch up with blog posts that should have been done long ago, I want to show you a bunch of things I’ve knit for gifts over the last several years that never made it to the blog!

Thanksgiving sale weekend: Print Pattern Packages (with digital downloads) on sale!
Remember when I used to sell full-color printed booklets of my patterns through MagCloud (and also self-distributed to yarn shops)?

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)!”
Shop news – discounted items plus sales going to charity!
Oh my, it’s already December! I have a bunch of leethal shop news! The main thing is that (as you know if you follow my blog) I have pretty much transitioned completely to knit design, and away from all the old stuff I used to make and sell. I have tons of things in myContinue reading “Shop news – discounted items plus sales going to charity!”
Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag!
Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closedContinue reading “Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag!”
