Keeping up with my NaKniSweMo 2014 goals, I’ve started a sweater for Z. It’s an Abate. I made her one last year as well, but I decided to go a size up this year to make one that would fit next year too. She wears a lot of leggings, and oversized sweaters...

I finally decided on a NaKniSweMo (National Knit a Sweater in a Month) sweater pattern. I chose Paloma, by Thea Colman, a cozy and winter-perfect sweater. I had some Cascade Ecological Wool in my stash that I’ve been earmarking for a sweater like this. The color...

I finished the Monkeys I’ve been working on out of the Republic of Wool yarn in Artificial Light. I did these toe up and did a heel flap. You can see the crazy way the striping happened on the heel here: I finished these a couple of days ago and I’ve been...

I just remembered today is my 8th blogiversary. I’ve been knitting for a little over 10 years, and I guess I’ve been talking about it online for almost as long. As an extrovert, I love finding ways to communicate with others, especially about one of my...

It’s been an excellent Sunday so far. We had a lovely brunch with some great friends, and I have some decent progress to share on a Gathering Stripes pullover for Zooey. I’m making the 2T size on a size 3 needle. It’s one size smaller than the...

Guess who put on her sweater?! We gave her the choice between this and her Little Sister’s dress yesterday and she chose the Like Sleeves! Hurrah! These are less than stellar phone pics, but the kid is a blur. I did what I could. As you can see, this...

I’m very happy to be releasing a new pattern today! It’s called Articulation (thank you, Andrea for your suggestion on this post). I started the knitting at the end of July and finished at the beginning of September. The knitting is the most fun process...

Ok, ok. I’m trying to be cool about this. I finished this Like Sleeves tunic several weeks ago and so far the few attempts to put it on Z for a picture have been met with staunch refusal. I still have hope. We haven’t had many cold days, so I have only...

It’s Socktober again. Yesterday, as soon as I cast off the Simple Skyp Socks I immediately wound the Rebublic of Wool yarn I got in the mail last Friday and started some toes! I’m making Monkeys, though I’m going toe-up and doing them both at once....

I finished up the Simple Skyp Socks I’ve had on the needles since mid July. About time, huh? They took a backseat to many other projects in the last few months. The yarn is Manos del Uruguay Alegría in color A8855. I love how looks knitted. I did these toe up...
