I feel like I’ve been getting nothing done lately, but wait! Behold! The thing on the left is done. It’s off the needles. It’s even been finished, completely—in this case, felted/fulled.* I’m pretty excited about the result. As I come back to this post in drafts, not only is the first sample finished—but there’s alsoContinue reading “Planispiral Shawl & the Summer Kitchen Project.”

The Super-Secret Larger Project I’ve Been Working on All Month(?).
It’s Octagon Time! It’s a blanket/basic shawl. Really, what it is depends on what you want to make, and what yarn you use. I went a bit wild and self-indulgent on this one; it is probably the most hedonistic use of an expensive yarn I’ve ever committed. The soft blue gradient yarn making up mostContinue reading “The Super-Secret Larger Project I’ve Been Working on All Month(?).”
Salt Post.
I never actually made a Table Salt post, so here goes: Table Salt is a cowl that uses a similar textured motif to the large one in the Salt Cowl & Hat.

Three Sisters (1).
This week’s pattern is a scarf, partially because I can’t find my hat(?) and also haven’t knit the smaller (kid-size) version of the hat yet.

Just barely squeaking by with a November post!
I’ve got a lot of projects at the almost-finished stage, which is deeply distressing in a lot of ways! Also just renewed my cheapish WordPress subscription, so am experiencing low-level angst about how terrible the blog and site look and how infrequently I really use them. MEANWHILE: November saw two completed design projects: Liner NotesContinue reading “Just barely squeaking by with a November post!”
Alfa.
Alfa Cowl. I’m a bit late with this update: Alfa Cowl is my take on a simple diagonally-knit kerchief-style neckwarmer concept. It’s not very diagonally knit. It’s a little bit diagonally knit, though.
