Okay, so I got this one done, just a couple more shapes to work on. First the pic, then the comments:
Now that I’ve put away the camera and put the piece back into the workbasket, I realize that the lower right curve wasn’t smoothed out for the picture.
Anyway, it is knit flat back and forth, [...]
Large selection this time! There are 12 Socks and 18 Dura-Lace, so be sure to scroll to the end and claim all the ones you want. NONE of these are of my standard colorings–many are “similar” but these are either “inaccurate dye jobs” or experiments or simply Dump Dyes (using up small amounts of leftover [...]
Just a quick picture to show off what’s on the needles today. This is still part of the shapes project, so please don’t think I’m running away from the shawl.
I’m using coordinated kitchen cotton for testing this, in order to have definite stripes to show off the shaping better. The stitch count on EVERY row [...]
Well… UPS did not bring me a box of yarn yesterday.
Which means I will not be dyeing up a bunch of yarns this weekend (although I do have a few that can be done, and therefore will be done);
Which also means I have NO EXCUSE (dang it) for ignoring long-overdue household chores. For the greatest [...]
Woohooo! Check it out!!
It’s a little brighter with the flash and indoor lighting, huh? And I tried to finger-push the lines as straight as I could, without actually pinning and blocking it into perfection, since the top bind-off isn’t done.
You can see, by viewing the design on the rug beneath it, that it really [...]
These are “The Infamous Eight” from yesterday

I think this is probably the first time I have ever had almost the entire cycle of stuff happening all at once on the porch:
Up there at the top row is 4 hanks of yarn destinated for Oregon (hi Awntie…. see? I didn’t forget you!) ; those are partly obscured by shadow, but no one [...]
Please ignore that quivering shapeless blob, curled in a fetal position, whimpering over there in the corner.
The day started so very, very well. I slept well, and woke with near-full enthusiasm, ready to tackle the bins of yarns that were now ready for dyeing.
And then I saw it — the top layer of yarns in [...]
This isn’t going out to all the lists, but it is posted on the front page and the Socks-Lace page and I wanted to put it here as well:
Psst! Secret (unadvertised) Surprise! Limited Time Only. Don’t want the special Triplet Combo listed? Want a different combination? Between now and July 16, just go ahead and [...]
Okay, so I’ve done as much as I can do today, and must turn my attention elsewhere, but I wanted to show you the progress so far:
Nana commented on the previous post that she thought I would kitchener graft the left and right pieces.
i don’t know what school Nana went to, but everyone knows that [...]
No seriously… be honest… raise your hands if you actually expected this to be one of the possible combinations for putting the parts together…. and be honest!
naaahhhh… I bet you didn’t!
But from that position, it’s totally easy to consider this:
Yup. I started at the upper right corner, knitting across the open stitches, picking up the [...]
Okay, so I’ve been rushing madly to complete this project to make it sale-able. I was out on the patio this morning trying to finish the 2nd half of it, and as I finished I realize there was clear evidence of the tension and pressure currently resting on me.
Just look how my needle has dented [...]
This week’s Triplet Collection began with Glacier Lake way back during my first year. That inspired Lake Berry and then eventually I tried combining both colorays and came up with Glacier Berry.
And from now until next Saturday, you can get this Triplet Collection for a discount when they are bought together!

Inspired by this

This is what I’ve been working on, hoping to have at least the core instructions and charts done within another week.
Lately I’ve been flooded with ideas in my head for various ways to tackle a common theme from different directions. This is just the start of a much bigger project.
And it is laid out on [...]
Ahhh yes, another month begins and I have another little bundle of fun for you!

Y’member a few weeks ago i introduced the Romance Collection, which included both Luscious

Tuesday I got a delightful email from Jan Avcin, a regular customer:
Just wanted to show you how my [...]
