Current Mood: Creative
I just finished writing up the pattern for this little bag made with one skein of Koigu KPPPM. Isn’t it cute?
It was inspired by the pattern Exploring Stripes from IK Winter 02/03 that I wrote about here; I wanted to find a way to make the beads spiral down the sides of [...]
Koigu Beaded Bags
I’ve knit four of these Koigu beaded bags and still love to make them. They take only one skein of Koigu KPPPM and 660 beads (900 beads for the one on the top left). I can make one in a couple of days and have twice given them as gifts. [...]
I’ve never mowed the lawn before. In my life. Who knew you could adjust the levels? Oops.
Here’s a picture of my trusty steed, purchased today.
I’ve got so much yard work to do. I’ve got so much house work to do. I’ve got soap to pack for Snake River next weekend. [...]
Hello, friends. I have another FREE new pattern available for you to try if you like.
It’s called “Fluke”—doesn’t the lace look like a whale’s fluke? I love it for that very reason. That’s why I chose the dark gray, as well. I’ve seen a whale fluking just once off the Oregon [...]
Current Mood: EmbarrassedSo I was all bragging at S’nB last week about how my sock was a big favorite and had over 100 favs. Woohoo, I’m a rock star—blah, blah, blah. Then I went home and, as a treat to myself, was going to bask in my rock-starness, when what should great me [...]
The pattern for Come Dancing is now available here and also via Ravelry.
I’d love it if you’d give it a try and let me know what you think.
Thanks to all the S’nB grrls (and Warren!) for their support and input, and especially thanks to Susan for her ruthless editing. Any mistakes left in the [...]
Sundara Sock Yarn
What with waking up to snow this morning and blah scheduled for the entire week, one must do what one can to brighten one’s existence, no? My, but I sound pretentious.
These four colors of Sundara Sock Yarn greeted me over the weekend (the snowy, wet weekend) and while they were chosen, primarily, [...]
In an effort to find some sock success, I put Monkey in time out and designed my own pattern. The stitch pattern is adapted from Bauerliches Stricken 1 by Lisl Fanderl. Once I get this sock and its mate done I’ll tell you how I did it if you want to try it, [...]
I’ve knit this ball of yarn several times. First I tried another pattern with 64 stitches, and I couldn’t get it over my heel. See that attempt here. Then I tried that same pattern with 72 stitches. The pooling was awful—see that attempt here.
So then I tried Monkey. This pattern is [...]

Jeff Werner writes,
“A lamp that develops like a living organism: switch it on and it slowly starts growing by knitting its own lampshade at a speed of three rotations per hour.”
I was excited to see this in person, having just discovered it in a grad catalogue [...]
