Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
Y’all may remember the Ramblewood shawl, which I had the pleasure of test knitting a couple of months ago. Today I have a special treat to share, because the designer of Ramblewood, Tamy Gore, has agreed to do an interview here on the blog! She’s a talented designer and all-around lovely person to work with, …
That’s right—less than two weeks until the Quiet Bay Mystery Shawl Knitalong with SweetGeorgia Yarns begins! Final prep is winding down here, and I can’t wait to share the results of all the work that has gone into this event. To tell the truth, I’m a little nervous too; a lot of knitters are trusting …
It’s been while since I posted a knitting update! Sadly I don’t have any knitting to share with you—yet. But I have been getting a ton of mail. Earlier this year I held a little poll in my Ravelry group asking if anyone would be interested in a mystery knitalong or crochetalong, and what kinds …
I’m ridiculously excited today, because yesterday SweetGeorgia Yarns announced their 2021 Spring Make-Along. It looks like it’s going to be a great event full of crafting, inspiration, chatter, and other fun; they also have a sale on lace yarns right now; but that is not something I need to be participating in… But I’m definitely …
This should have been last week’s post; but I’m late, because this shawl just had to have perfect pictures. This is Shh! by Jennifer Weissman; a fitting way to close out the old year and kick off the new, since I’ve had it in my mental queue since late 2019. I absolutely love it. It …
Remember this project from a few weeks ago? As you can see, it’s gotten bigger. A lot bigger. Last time, this project was living on a Knit Picks Sunstruck 32″ circular needle; I’ve been using Knit Picks circulars exclusively for years and have been a happy camper. However, the more the project grew the more …
I clean forgot that today is Wednesday and blissfully thought that I had a few days to wait before making this announcement, but Wednesday it is and the time is now: Red Earth Design Studio is now on Pinterest! Or sort of. No, this does not signal a grand entrance into the world of social …
Don’t ask me why, but right now I seem to think it’s a good idea to have a thousand balls of yarn hanging off my work at once. I tend to go through spurts—last winter it was lace projects; right now it’s colorwork of all kinds. Even though Facets has been published for several months, …
Should old stash entries be forgot,And never brought to mind?Should old stash entries be forgot,And the days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear,For auld lang syne,We’ll take some time for knitting yet,And auld lang syne. And surely you’ll buy your hank of wool,And surely I’ll buy mine!And we’ll take some time …
This post will be a bit of a hodgepodge; I’ve had a number of things in the past week that didn’t fit into my normal blogging schedule, so I am throwing the chaos into one great pile and calling it order. The main reason why it’s day late is that I wanted to wait for …
