Mystery hat revealed: Terrapin!

Here it is, my mystery hat knit-a-long design – Terrapin (on ravelry here): That above is in a sport weight (Brown Sheep’s Lanaloft Sports Weight), and then below is in a bulky weight (Malabrigo’s Chunky), for a very different look (but I love them both!!): And then there’s a no-buttons version as well, making itContinue reading “Mystery hat revealed: Terrapin!”

Sock Summit (sale), and stuff, yeah!

So, here in Portland, starting today, the second Sock Summit is happening, which is so super awesome, but I still feel a wee bit out of place in the whole scene since I tried to knit a pair of socks last time the Summit happened, 2 years ago, and they haven’t gotten much farther thanContinue reading “Sock Summit (sale), and stuff, yeah!”

Old patterns made new!

I’m in the process of reformatting all of my patterns so that they all share the same stylesheet (fonts, layout elements, wording of certain parts, etc) – thanks to Knitgrrl’s book for calling my attention to this – and I’ve finished the main 4 that I was most eager to get updated.  Skoodlet, Ten 10Continue reading “Old patterns made new!”

Knitting-related notes and news and stuff…

In an attempt to liven up the ravelry group a bit, I’m trying to organize some kind of leethal knit-a-long over there… It’ll probably be a Buttonhead knit-a-long with encouraged Game Knitting on the hat!  I think the buttonhead design is the perfect kind of pattern to game knit on, with its simplicity and customContinue reading “Knitting-related notes and news and stuff…”

Brimming with Color!

Did anyone wonder what all the dyed Imperial Stock Ranch was for?  This is what! (rav link)  (I actually started out designing The Shapeshifter with it, pre-dyeing, resulting in this prototype, which didn’t work out; then I started designing Twisted Ankles with it, making this hand-dyed pair – then overdyeing, but that wasn’t working outContinue reading “Brimming with Color!”
