This post probably not going to be about what you’re thinking, I’m not talking about financially, I’m talking physically, literally support your stitching. I am working on a cowl that is going to be sort of epic for me. It is reeeeaaaallllyyy long. It’s the Scattering Petals cowl from Dana Rae. Here is the linkContinue reading “Support Your Stitching”

Knitted Mitered Squares
A swatch of course. I tried a couple of different increases to see which one I liked best. Blocking will tell the final story but that won’t happen until tomorrow. Then I tried two different bind off methods to see which one most closely matched the give and stretch of the slipped stitch side. AboveContinue reading “Knitted Mitered Squares”
Mitered Squares
I have finally finished that last project and now I can start another! I’m not a monogamous stitcher but I do try to limit myself and meet the same deadlines I give my testers. I will be starting a mitered squares baby blanket. This one will be knit but I also have plans for aContinue reading “Mitered Squares”
More Swatches
I’m sure you all probably think that all I do is swatch because that’s mostly what I’ve been sharing here. The swatches are needed but also I have been only working on one project and it can only be shred so much. These swatches are needed for a video shoot later this week. They areContinue reading “More Swatches”
Swatching at the Coffee Shop
One of things I have added to my weekly routine this year is going and working on the computer at the coffee shop down the street. I am not a coffee drinker but they made their own chai and it is good. I also take along a bit of yarn and either needles or hooksContinue reading “Swatching at the Coffee Shop”
New Shooting Configuration
As I have said before I am pretty much a one woman show. I shoot the majority of my footage on my own. I recently tried a new set up and I love it! I changed the recording quality on my camera to be higher just to see the difference and whoa, it is amazing!Continue reading “New Shooting Configuration”
Roll film…
Here’s a peek behind the recording scenes. I put this set up in my dining room and shot some bits and pieces for workshops and an upcoming blog category. I kept it simple and my clothes simple as well so that I can replicate it all again. I am enjoying filming and editing. I can’tContinue reading “Roll film…”
Mirrored or Identical…
The Brick and Mortar mitts are seamed up the side when you have reached the desired size. These mitts are seamed as mirrored. That means when viewed from the top the bricks are mirror images of each other. These mitts are seamed as identical. That means when viewed from the top the bricks look theContinue reading “Mirrored or Identical…”
Basic Mitts
I got an order for some mitts recently for someone who loves color but wanted them to warmer than fingering weight yarn. So I started playing with DK weight yarn and below is where I’m currently at. I haven’t decided if I want to write up the pattern yet or not. It worked up quicklyContinue reading “Basic Mitts”
So it begins…
I received happy mail from Canada today. 2 skeins of DK weight non super-wash wool. I love the yarn from Campfiber Yarns! She does some great things and you should check it out. These 2 skeins are hopefully going to become accessories. Hats and mitts, both crochet and knit. I have no clue what theContinue reading “So it begins…”
