This is my fourth Ishbel in less than 12 months, if you count this one that I eventually frogged. I’m bartering with my lovely and amazing friend Natalie for some family photos next month. She likes the pattern, happened to like this lovely shade of Araucania...

First, I have a little bit of business. I changed my Ravelry username from casystotyle to knitthehellout. I didn’t realize I could change it until the other day, and I thought I should mention it. Knitthehellout just seems like a more logical tie to the blog to...

I was knitting my little fingers to the bone on the Ellybob Cardigan when I came upon some number issues in the pattern. I wrote to the author (Marie Mickiewicz) and it turns out that I missed two stitches in the armpits, but the final count that was printed in the...

Behold! My Citron is off the needles. I’ve been working on this lovely shawl with single-minded focus like a woman possessed. I don’t think I’ve touched another project at all since casting this on at the end of March. I thought I would make the 5...

Say what? More self-striping socks? What a shock. I bought this yarn back in December, intending to make Matt another pair of socks. They’ve been hiding out on the needles, moving at a glacial pace for a few months. I keep putting them down for something more...

How’s that title for some alliteration? I whipped up yet another pair of 70 Yard Mitts, this time for my brother’s awesome long-time girlfriend, Brenna. She’s pretty much a member of the family at this point. She made me a lovely cowl and gave it to...

Matt and I were watching a bunch of YouTube videos last weekend and we came across this video about craft talk. I’d seen it before, but I forgot all about it. I couldn’t stop laughing. I thought I would share since I think many of us knitters, crocheters,...
