Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
They seek him here, they seek him there… Noblesse Oblige is out today! And if I do say so myself, this is a fun one. This post is going to be commensurately long, so if you just want to know where you can get this and what the discount code is, skip thou to the …
Sometimes things just…work out grandly. I’ve been working up a design based on the sketch I showed in last week’s post. It’s a half-pi shawl with a variety of lace motifs and slip stitches bordering the different sections. The semi-circle is one of my favorite shawl shapes, but I haven’t designed one since Fenestra (Ravelry …
I’ve never really been the girly type, but I do make a rare concession now and again. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was working on a test knit for Wool & Pine Designs; the pattern came out yesterday, to much fanfare and celebration by all. It’s called Golden Fern and is one …
Crocheters, I’ve got a new one for you today! After releasing Glimpses of Autumn last year, I knew I wanted to revisit the same bias triangle shape, but with mini-skeins instead of a gradient. Minis give the design more flexibility, since crocheters can make personalized choices regarding how many colors to use, where to change …
I’m back from a brief hiatus with something exciting to show you! After Glimpses of Autumn came out last fall (Ravelry and Payhip links for interested parties), several people asked for a winter version with snowflakes. Originally, Glimpses of Autumn was supposed to be a one-off, but designing it was so much fun that I …
Glimpses of Autumn is here at last! This is my most complex crochet design so far, and I must admit I’m quite proud of how it came out. (I tore my hair out designing it…see the things I do for y’all.) It’s a level up from something like Pyrifolia; the stitch patterns aren’t much more …
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, …
As they say in Dr. Seuss, the time has come; the time is now. That is, it’s time to reveal the Quiet Bay MKAL shawl… What do you think? Quiet Bay is a bottom-up asymmetrical triangle, beginning with a long cast-on and a scalloped lace border. After the lace, the main body of the shawl …
This should have been last week’s post; but life happened, so today I get to introduce you to my Overland shawl! Overland is published by Quince & Co. This design should have come out almost 2 months ago, but ran late due to supply/shipping hiccups with their linen yarns. In the meantime, it’s been really, …
Normally I’m a protein fiber gal, all the way. Sit me in a pile of wool, alpaca, mohair and yak and I’m a happy camper. In fact, I frequently avoid plant fibers because they just…don’t act like wool. The lack of halo, heather, and sproing are all things I typically struggle with when knitting with …
