Most importantly, I crocheted them.
The pattern I used is Nubby Brim Cloche, which I came across while searching through crocheted hat patterns for bulky yarn in Ravelry. There were several, but I really liked the shape of this one. The pattern creator Eileen Tepper also has an Etsy site filled with hats, hat patterns [...]

Spring Forward and a Hat
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting, Weather Complaint on August 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I wanted to wear them for a whole day before writing this post. First, though, here’s the pair:
I used Bernat Sox and 2.75mm needles, which I got gauge on. The end result is that the socks are comfortable and fit well, though are just a little big around the heel. I’m blaming this on the [...]

From BitterSweet (if you don’t know what some foods are, go to her post, she’s done a lot of links. If it’s not linked, wikipedia is a good resource.
“News travels pretty fast in the blogosphere, and the latest craze that’s been showing up on food blogs far and wide has been The Omnivore’s Hundred, a [...]

I was passing through the Zellers yarn section (again) not too long ago to pick up some DPNs, and a skein of the Bernat Sox yarn came home with me. It’s fairly cheap, I think 5.99$ for 425 yards, which is enough to make 1 pair for most people (definitely enough for me). I’m using [...]

The February Lady Sweater is a new free, online pattern out this summer by Pamela Wynne. Basically it’s a resized version of the February Baby Sweater by Elizabeth Zimmermann, but since I’ve never knit a Zimmermann pattern or a baby sweater, the first time I saw it was on Ravelry when it started appearing in [...]
Twist Collective

I’m sure most of the online knitting community has heard of Twist Collective, the new gem of an online knitting magazine by Kate Gilbert, Irene Vandervoort, Julia Farwell-Clay and Mary Jackson, by now. It’s set up so that you can click through the magazine as though you’re flipping pages, without the actual flipping, with beautiful [...]
New Yarn and February Lady Sweater

I need to be boxed up today. That or put on my stationary bike to work off the massive amounts of hyperactivity I have. It’s not coffee or anything, though I did have my usual cup this morning, and a little dark chocolate, and 1 dark chocolate-covered nut of some sort (I think [...]
