August quick knits club, and the Next Generation!
First, I’ll make sure you know about the next generation of the leethal quick knits club, since I’m super excited about it! The club is changing pretty drastically, but still with a major focus on knitting projects that use up small amounts of yarn, and fun crafty projects that use recycled/reclaimed/cheap materials! Instead of gettingContinue reading “August quick knits club, and the Next Generation!”
Catching Up – coffee, interview, and a bunch of links!
I got a super nice message from Parisa of LightingLittleFires blog a while back, saying that I’d helped inspire her to start a blog and put together a blog “festival” of projects, which sounded like a fun idea! She asked if I’d be interested in contributing something summery, so I put together a how-to forContinue reading “Catching Up – coffee, interview, and a bunch of links!”
June leethal quick knits club!
June’s club theme was Traveling – here’s the package!

Make a scrap-yarn-wrapped branch decoration!
While flipping through The Big Ass Book of Home Decor a couple weeks ago, I came across a project like this – yarn-wrapped twig arrangement.

April leethal quick knits club!
First of all, this post is much belated, so because of that, and because the May club mail-out date is later than usual, I’m extending the May club sign-up deadline through Wednesday (the 5th) – May’s theme is Home Decor, and I have some fun ideas brewing! (Sign up for just May, or for aContinue reading “April leethal quick knits club!”
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!”
My yarn-holding coffee can cubbies!
Well I know I said last week that my studio series would be this week, but I still haven’t been able to get in a good photoshoot of the whole room because there hasn’t been any freaking sunshine since last Thursday! Damn Portland, don’t you know it’s Spring already?! So, here is my coffee canContinue reading “My yarn-holding coffee can cubbies!”
