Stash knitting at its finest – it’s enough to make you plotz, really.

(Belated) knitted goods are the first sign of spring. Right?

As the flowerbasket hat approached six heartbreaking weeks overdue (and by “overdue” I mean “later than I had hoped it would be”) I realized it remained undone because I had some sort of finishing anxiety. I would have to get over it tout de suite. Either the hat and mittens fit, or they don’t, but [...]

Happy belated New Year! January brought me a case of bronchitis followed by a cold, so I’ve spent most of the last three and a half weeks recuperating – with intermittent bouts of knitting. On the bright side, if only I’d known small projects went so quickly, I’d have started knitting them sooner. First up, [...]

An all-dessert knitting potluck.

But in the end, it all comes back to socks.

The love affair continues.

Procrastination outerwear, “cheater’s toe,” and the best explanation of yarn dieting philosophy ever.

Three needles, four needles…whatever it takes.

Progress is being made on the Bucket O’Chic – the three-needle bind off was helped mightily by these illustrated instructions from Sweaterscapes; it almost seemed easy. As did picking up stitches – I refined my “pick up and knit” technique and this looks much smoother than the stitches picked up for my felted bag. So [...]
