I finally got around to replacing the mittens I knit in 2007 and had sadly lost [ in 2009 ]. These aren’t as fancy, but they’re a fast knit and are really warm. Let’s just say they get the job done. I want to make another pair of the
I recently became obsessed with knitting leg warmers. It started with knitting a pair for Stephanie for Christmas, and then I kept making more.
I used this pattern for Electra Leg Warmers that I found on Ravelry. I cast on 40 stitches for myself and Steph, and if I [...]
It’s been pretty cold the last few days. I didn’t have any coverage for my ears and I’ve been rocking the old lady shawl [ ie. I took an adorable cowl and figure-eighted it so it acted like a hood too ].
I decided to whip up this bad boy. It’s pretty warm. Not to [...]
It’s October, so it’s high time to get started on winter knitting that way the projects are done and ready by the time it really gets cold. I love these Corazon Mittens from Knitty.
It’s not a pattern for beginners. But I picked this project up after only knitting scarves and hand [...]
It’s almost fall, which means it’s time to add some slightly warmer things to my wardrobe. I absolutely adore this pattern by Kelly Maher of 10 Feet High. It knits up super easy — enough to make them in multiple colors. And it’s adaptable based on your size instead of coming [...]

I wanted to share this adorable hat pattern with you. It’s for a swirl hat that can be made in almost any size. I made the toddler size for my niece. It took me a little over an hour to knit and it’s super cute!
I think it’s [...]
I finished knitting a sweater out of the Stitch-n-Bitch Nation book called “Baby’s First Tattoo”.
It’s for my neice, Emee, and I made the 6 month size. I need to sew the snaps on it yet, but here are some pictures of the finished piece.
Also, I’m going to make another one and add an [...]
I was on etsy.com looking for some super bulky handspun yarn to make a scarf kind of like my friend @daniAWESOME’s scarf .
Anyway, I found a ton of cool yarn… and a ton of other crap I shouldn’t buy.
