I’m selling skeins of yarn again! They are recycled yarns, which I’ve unraveled very carefully (minimal knots, usually 1 per skein), washed well, and sometimes spun together. There are plain skeins, which are all wool or wool blends — the white one has some camel hair and the grey has a little cashmere! There areContinue reading “leethal recycled yarn!”

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!”
Remixed: Making Recycled Yarns ebook, including Rejuvenation hat pattern!
Look what’s here!

New pattern: Krewe!
I released a new single pattern – a lightweight cowl, perfect for some summer knitting! (on ravelry here) Krewe is made with slipped and twisted stitches (how-to included), and then full columns of stitches are dropped all the way down when you’re finished knitting, to make the beaded necklace inspired look: It’s designed to use multiple contrastingContinue reading “New pattern: Krewe!”

Malabrigo merino roving!
A few months ago I got an amazing package in the mail: That’s six braids of Malabrigo’s merino roving, aka Nube. In colorways: Mostaza, Piedras, Plomo, Arco Iris, Persia, Glitter. The lovely people at Malabrigo contacted me when they released the roving, knowing that I’m a designer/blogger who spins, asking me if I had any favorite colorways… I gaveContinue reading “Malabrigo merino roving!”

Have you seen the new Knitty yet? That’s me on the cover! Whoa!! Very exciting! My pattern is pretty bonkers, but only because of the yarn, which I feel like shouldn’t even be called “yarn”… it needs some other name… It’s The BagSmith Big Stitch Merino, and it knits up on size US 36 (20mm)Continue reading “New (free!) pattern: Superduper in Knitty!”
