What Kind of Knitter Are You?
You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer. You are through those knitting growing pains and feeling more adventurous. You can follow a standard pattern if it’s not too complicated and know where to go to get help. Maybe you’ve started to experiment with different fibers and you might be eyeing [...]

I totally made a pattern up.
Ok, not totally, I suppose. I just went all mitten’s on it’s ass until I’d completed the gusset and separated for the thumb, and knitted in the round for the hand until I was about where the fingers start, and then I kind of … guessed? I separated the stitched on the [...]

Looks like Knitgrrl has declared November National Sweater Knitting Month (NaSweKniMo, more accurately, I think…), a fine answer to NaNoWriMo.

I wish I’d taken the time to finish them up last night, my [...]

The ketchup mittens are a go! I spent most of yesterday daydreaming about knitting, and came home with a burning urgency to get one of my projects done. I had half of one of the ketchup mittens on the go, about mid-way through the gusset for the thumb. I powered through, and finished the body.

Several months ago, a friend told me she was pregnant. I was absolutely thrilled - she and her partner are some of the first parents-to-be in my circle of friends. “What better way to inflict my knitting on someone than by giving them baby gifts?” thought I. I asked her if there was anything she [...]
