This past summer, I visited a yarn shop in Seoul called Banul and bought some beautiful indigo fingering weight yarn. It’s a cotton-silk blend called Screen that I planned to use for a shawl, I don’t remember the price exactly but it was fairly cheap for the 10 balls I bought.
I was going to [...]

Hey, look, it’s yarn.

I finished three projects recently, two of which I finally did the finishing touches to today and added to Ravelry. First, though:
Soleil from knitty, with a few changes. I added some crochet edging to the bottom to help it lay flat, sc1, skip 1 or 2, chain 1, sc1. I decreased a lot on the [...]
World Wide Knit in Public Day, Korean Style
Posted in Blog, Knitting, Korea, wwkipd on June 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m doing this post in two parts, one here and one on my Korea blog, so if you want to read more about Seoul, go here.
I met Marie at the bus terminal, and we made our way over to the beautiful (and only a little confusing…) Seoul Arts Center. There is actually more than one [...]
A Scarf and a Shawl
Posted in Crochet, Finished Objects, Knitting, Korea on June 5, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I finished it a little while ago, actually, but I’ve been lazy about posting. It’s the scarf that I started in February, before the accident, then finished when it was too warm to wear a scarf. I’m pleased with how it turned out, but it’s not really my colour. I think I’m going to save [...]
Branching Out and a Cute Journal
Posted in Blog, Knitting, Korea, Work in Progress, Yarn on March 1, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I made Branching Out once before in the year I learned to knit. I think it was one of the first scarves I made, for my mother. A scratchy, off-white acrylic yarn, and I ended up making it too short, but it was still long enough (especially for her, she doesn’t like long scarves much). [...]
The Knitting Portion of the Xmas Stockings = Done
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting on December 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I was developing a serious aversion during the second-last one, but the last one was actually kind of fun. I think it’s because the second-last one is black, and sometimes hard to see:
That one has the Tree of Life pattern from Vogue Stitchionary Vol 2. I’ve got gold embroidery on the branch tips so far, [...]
Neglectful
Posted in Crochet, Knitting, Weather Complaint, Work in Progress on November 25, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’m not sure how I would describe this November, looking back with it already almost over with. It started out very busy, with an overnight trip to Halifax for a job interview to teach in Japan (I didn’t end up getting the job, unfortunately). It’s been a frigid month, even more so in the past [...]
Alatus
Posted in Knitting, Patterns, Work in Progress on October 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I have a lot to blog about today.
So, quite a while ago, I came across the Alatus pattern on Ravelry, designed by Canary Knits. This is a more advanced pattern, to me anyway, because of the way the designer wrote it. And the super-complicated looking cables on the back that create angel wings. I kept [...]
A Few Socks
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting, Patterns, Work in Progress on October 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ll start with the Christmas ones. I know, only Thanksgiving has gone by, we still have to get through Halloween and Rememberance Day, but I wanted to start these early. My mother commissioned me to make new Christmas stockings (5 of them, parents, me and 2 sisters), and not too long ago she went with [...]
Laceweight Adamas
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting on October 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I started knitting Adamas on July 16th, 2008. If I had kept on knitting on that one project, I could have finished it earlier, but I’d go through phases with it. Some days I’d knit for hours, and other times I’d go for weeks without touching it. When I went to Calgary in September [...]
