Knittyblogged!

Our little blanket-y world just showed up on the Knitty magazine blog today! How exciting!

Mobbed with Love

Okay, yeah, I know, it’s been forEVER since my last blog post. My energy for blogging just fizzled, or rather, got used elsewhere for a while. But now! I’m back! And holy crow, do I have something awesome to show you.

Fluffing Awesome

My friends in the Uptownknitmob are the most incredible, generous, loving people. Also, they are ninjas. Sneaky, brilliant, awesome ninjas.

Knitting and Crochet Blog Week: Day 3

Here is my contribution to Day Three of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, organized by the adorable Eskimimi. Today’s theme is Your Knitting or Crochet Hero…

A Cashmere Hug

Even while I was knitting the Damask shawl, by Kitman Figueroa, for my sister’s wedding, I was already plotting which of Kitman’s patterns to knit next. Seriously, that woman is some kind of stitch-whisperer; the way she combines stitch patterns is nothing short of magical.

I’m in a book!

The tiny handful of you who have been reading my blog since last June will recall that I posted a call for entries for a book compiled and edited by Annie Modesitt, called 1000 Fabulous Knit Hats (Ravelry link). Of course, I couldn’t hear a call like that go out without heeding it myself, so I submitted a few of my own hats — and then I thought no more about it.

Knit a Year

I’m still chugging away on the back of my Ribena cardigan. It’s slow going, mostly because (a) it’s a pile of laceweight stockinette, and (b) I haven’t had much time for knitting lately.

Miles of stockinette are perfect for knitting at conference registration tables, at least.

See? Not a very exciting subject for blogging just yet.

Instead, I want to talk about a project my friend Catt has embarked on: Knit a Year.

Ravelympics III

This was my first-ever Ravelympics, and before it started, I was really nervous about what I was getting myself into.

I had signed up to co-captain the local “team” (the Waterloo Wellington Winter Wonders, or Team 4W), but had no idea what that would entail.
