For many months now I’ve been taking pictures of stuff–life, my cooking, interesting-weird-things–always thinking, “ooh! I can post it tonight” but night is my only knitting time and… there went that idea. Instead, I think I’d like to start something different. I’d like to post a gallery of these shots on Sunday. Just pictures. If something sparks your fancy or you just want to know more, let me...

Over on the CraftLit site we have a bunch of raffles going! Thought you might like to toss your hat in the ring! Sweet & Simple Baby Crochet and Hunter Hammersen’s latest Ne’er-do-Well Knits. Enjoy!

Here we are with the next sock in our series! Izzy is described as a bouncing blue ball of light and fun—she’s also painfully psychic and a real help and support to Rosie.       Her socks, designed by Meg Warren (of March Hare dying and the Defarge books) are a fun-and-breezy knit which leave you with cushy-comfy socks.

Whyfore? Because we’re going to be rolling out a new series of patterns inspired...

I’m off on vacation with the family and finally have a second to post! YAY! First, I have a new cowl pattern for you! My sister asked me a few months ago if it was possible to make a knit möbius… so I designed a cowl for her! The pattern repeat is Fawn’s Eyes because my sister is a real-life Snow White.
