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). [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Serenity and Adamas at Sea
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting, Work in Progress on July 27, 2008 | 4 Comments »
After a long birthing period, it’s finished. Serenity.
Mine is knit with dishcloth cotton (a mistake, I should have used cotton-ease), and it got unwieldy after a while. Like it wasn’t just a blanket, but a living creature on my lap that occasionally shed cotton fiber on me (probably from working in the round and [...]

Yesterday, June 14th, was World Wide Knit in Public Day, and I drove about an hour away to Charlottetown to meet 4 other members of Ravelry:
Above is missknittykitty, nanapei, marigoldy and jannaknits. There’s another picture that includes me on nanapei’s blog. missknittykitty was knitting a pretty green sock, but she wasn’t during these pictures since [...]
A Few Things
Posted in Crochet, Finished Objects, Knitting, Work in Progress, Yarn on December 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve finished a couple of small things since my last post. One is a pair of gloves, the pattern is a mod of Urban Necessity from Magknits. They’re supposed to be a flip-top mitten, so that you can have fingerless gloves for when you need your fingers, and mittens for when you don’t, all in [...]
