Woooo it’s up! I first started designing this hat way back last summer, then once I developed it to be any-gauge, perfect for handspun, I decided it might fit well into Knittyspin and submitted it! Yay Knittyspin!! So yeah, it’s a simple hat, but what makes it awesome is that it can be knit inContinue reading “New pattern in Knitty: Buttonhead!”

I’m guessing the release date will be around late summer, and it will be awesome, seriously. EverythingContinue reading “Make long stripes in your hand-dyed yarn!”
New Pattern: Shapeshifter!
It’s here! Shapeshifter is an any-gauge pattern and can be worn a seemingly endless number of ways, giving it truly infinite possibility! (Many thanks to April for thinking up the fabulous name!)

New Pattern: Twisted Ankles!
Want to knit some legwarmers?! My newest design, Twisted Ankles is squishy, bulky, cabley yumminess – with the cables twisting around each other, then bursting off the garter stitch base to become buttonhole straps, wrapping around the backs of your legs… There’s a smaller size, which are like ankle warmers (the blue/green and white examples)Continue reading “New Pattern: Twisted Ankles!”

November leethal quick knits club!
I’ve been a bit off track for the last week or so, first due to trying to finish a new project that I’d planned to release on Monday, but then due to food poisoning everything got bumped and I’m hoping to finally release it on Friday. And this post was supposed to happen on Sunday,Continue reading “November leethal quick knits club!”
