My FO Photography is an ongoing Work-In-Progress I like to think that I am an unofficially qualified knitter. And blogger. And photographer. I've been at this for 8+ years, on and off, but mostly on. I've knit a wide range of projects, yarns, and fibers. I knit for myself and others. I've taken classes! And this?… Continue reading How to take Great FO photos! (it’s a work in progress)
So it’s summer
Don't let my lack of posting fool you. There's no summer slide here! It's just that the project I've been devoting the most time to is a sample project. For now, that is staying under wraps. I have been working on my Stolen Moments socks. I managed to turn a heel when I took them… Continue reading So it’s summer
To TNNA and Back Again
Last weekend I travelled to Washington, D.C. for the TNNA Summer Show. Though I have knit many samples for this show, this was only my second time attending. It is not an event open to the general public, rather it is for the yarn companies, designers, book publishers, and equipment makers to present what's new… Continue reading To TNNA and Back Again
Nutmegknitter Reviews: One-Skein Wonders for Babies
I thought I was doing pretty good when I cleaned up my desk a bit last week. Not that you'd notice as new yarns have been caked and patterns are printed and taking over that space again, but I tried. Anyway, I pulled out the yarn leftovers from finished projects and from stalled projects and brought it… Continue reading Nutmegknitter Reviews: One-Skein Wonders for Babies
Cutie Cactus
What do you do with one skein of a bulky yarn in a funky green color? Make a toy! I purchased a grab bag of Dale Garn yarns a little while ago from woolybaabaa.com. Right away the Hubro caught my eye. I have a fondness for bulky yarns, but I struggled for a bit in… Continue reading Cutie Cactus
Cowl Catch-Up
I have two new finished objects to share! Like many knitters, I can appreciate a good scarf, but I really adore cowls. Long or short, they seem to sit just right and I feel like you can wear them more (indoors as well as out). I finally finished my "Infinite Blurple Cowl" that I started… Continue reading Cowl Catch-Up
FOs from a while ago
How about another round of blog-catch-up? I have a few finished items that I can share in a "Finished Object Friday" post! These socks fill a requirement for the Sophmore semester of Loopy Academy - knitting socks in a new-to-you way. I have knit socks toe-up & top-down, on double pointed needles, magic loop… Continue reading FOs from a while ago
Interestings
So I've been reading and knitting and crocheting and not posting about it! I have two works in progress to share this week and one book. I started on the first Nalu Mitt back in April, and I cannot recall what other project distracted me from them. They are relatively quick and intuitive once you… Continue reading Interestings
A Fraction of Danger
This week I started on "Ways to Disappear" and it is moving much faster than I anticipated. The story is light yet intriguing and I am curious to see where it will go. My knitting is a bit blobby, but I am at the middle section of the Fractal Danger pattern. I finally had… Continue reading A Fraction of Danger
A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
My knitting this week is a bit tricky to photograph. It is a pair of socks, worked two-at-a-time, to fulfill the 2nd semester assignment of Loopy Academy. The assignment is to make a pair of socks: A pair of socks, toe-up or cuff-down, whichever you are least familiar with. If you are equally familiar with… Continue reading A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
