Exploring Spirals

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 [...]

Cool stuff

So, it was my birthday a week ago, and Margene gave me this–

Truly, I didn’t know I needed this. But Margene did. My wheel came with an orifice hook, which I was forever trying to balance on the arm of the sofa so that it would be within easy reach when I needed [...]

H is for handspun

Beautiful Romney wool from my S’nB friend Warren.  He gave me 3-4 oz of two different colors that I’ll ply together once they’re both spun.  This is the lighter of the two.

Happy Birthday to Kat’s new wheel

So the lovely and talented Katherine of it All brought her new wheel to S’nB tonight and learned a few amazing things.
First of all, according to newcomer Amanda, the wheel’s serial number indicates that it was manufactured on January 15, 1988. And that little “6″ means it was the sixth wheel ever made, [...]

Eye Candy Friday

Warren’s Caramels

Warren is an amazing spinner and knitter. He has taken his Schacht Matchless apart down to the last piece and put it [...]

I talked to the owner of a small coffee shop in my neighborhood about the possibility of a knit night. He generally [...]

Seraphim put to bed

11/22: Zeneedle’s Seraphim is so beautiful, and knit from the Plum colorway of this same yarn. It’s been my inspiration. Since my Seraphim will be knit with heavier wool on bigger needles it will be nearly blanket sized–cool! Much more stylish than a parka this winter.
If I can only get past this [...]

Shout out to SLC-SNB!

 
Yeah, it’s the same old pic, (though I’m sure we sent in a new one. . .) but still, it’s cool.
Stitch-n-Snitch and I’m Knitting As Fast As I Can also represent in the new Stitch ‘n Bitch calendar–way to go! I have such talented friends.
Tonight SLC-SNB took a field trip to the Salt Lake [...]

First Annual SLC-SNB Fall Retreat

blogless Debbie, The Knitty Professor, and Alison at the Silver Fork Lodge

We held our first annual SLC-SNB knitting retreat this weekend at–where else?–the Silver Fork Lodge.
This is what the canyon looked like as I made my way up on Friday night about 8 pm. That full moon was so bright that when I [...]
