and I will be able to post photos of not only the SSP but also the legwarmers and the Natalie coat just as soon as it’s December first. I kinda ran out of my monthly alotted uploads on Flickr.

I’m doing a bit of design research in the vain hope that it will help me to avoid a fiber related accident, the fiberphiles among us are fully aware of what I speak. This accident occures in one of two senarios: You are in a yarn store and trip as you are falling to the [...]

I love it when something finally makes sense! For the past week I have been trying to figure out how to graft together a cabled band, I even had dreams where I was working on it. Adrien sent me this link which helped but something was still getting lost in the translation en route form [...]

This morning I cast off the second leg warmer…I have now filled the “I never had leg warmers when they were first in style when I was 11!” void. They are just darn cozy and will boon at my parents house over the holidays as their place can be a bit cool in the winter. [...]

Because I knit things like this for my Man: Those are a pair of Knucks inspired (I say inspired because I used this pattern instead) fingerless gloves for Chris that say “OMG!” (Oh My God!) and “WTF?” (What the Fuck?). And this is Chris’ reaction to “Do you like them?” One more FO for the [...]

Get your self a good travel mug that has a closure, you will thank me! Your coffee or tea will stay hotter longer and the lid and colsure will drastically cut down on unfortunate spills and wardrobe changes. Also there is no shame in reheating yesterdays coffee while you wait for the fresh pot if [...]
