New leethal knits technique tutorials!
So after I finished all my recent leethalknits.com style/layout updates, I worked on improving my techniques tutorials section… including the addition of video! Yeah I know, knitting tutorial videos are nothing new and I should have started doing it long ago, but now that I have a quick+easy camera I plan to make more… So IContinue reading “New leethal knits technique tutorials!”
Convertible cowly sweater vest made from recycled sweaters!
I made a thing! My now-functioning studio made me itchy to make stuff, so the other day when I should have been working at the computer all day, instead I did a little digging through my reclaimed sweater stash, and made this! What is “this”? It’s a convertible cowl-neck sweater vest slash cowl slash shirtContinue reading “Convertible cowly sweater vest made from recycled sweaters!”
Knitting technique tutorials, new charts, and other knitting stuff!
I haven’t talked about knit stuff in awhile, and a lot is going on! (And I won’t even talk about my sweater yet, that will be its own post later.) Since I got back from our trip I have been knitting and working on knitting/pattern-related stuff nonstop! In newest news, I’ve just started up aContinue reading “Knitting technique tutorials, new charts, and other knitting stuff!”
Pendleton scrap blanket (and matching pillow)!

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!”
Lace Stenciled Framed Song Lyrics! (+our wedding music)
If you’ve been following my blog, you know how I made 60 of these painted frames with song lyrics for our wedding decorations/favors… Well, a lot of wedding guests loved them and took one home, but we had a ton left at the end of the night, which we boxed back up and took home withContinue reading “Lace Stenciled Framed Song Lyrics!

My New Fabric-Covered Box Drawers!
I did a project yesterday! And it turned out even better than it looked in my head!! Isn’t it the best thing ever when that happens?! Our house is extremely (embarrassingly?) Ikea-heavy with the decor… so I’ve been trying to find ways to personalize our Ikea, make our home more us. I got these awesomeContinue reading “My New Fabric-Covered Box Drawers!”
Sideways Edge Cast-On, a knitting unvention! plus, Swerve!
Edited 9/21/2015: I’m not changing this post at all, just want to add this bit to say, in the 5 years since I wrote this post and designed the couple of old patterns mentioned in the post below, I’ve gone on to design MANY more patterns using this kind of technique, so here’s a listContinue reading “Sideways Edge Cast-On, a knitting unvention! plus, Swerve!”
Dry Erase Magnets tutorial, plus other magnet ideas!
Look what I made yesterday! I had this brainstorm about making dry erase magnets back when I was making magnet projects for the May club, but I was just going to try it with white paper, for a plain white background… then I saw this tutorial via Craft: and thought of using images for theContinue reading “Dry Erase Magnets tutorial, plus other magnet ideas!”
