handknit kittyville hat

By On January 10, 2011 · 4 Comments

My daughter is wearing last year’s wool hat and mittens. I can’t believe they still fit — not much else from last winter does. With the cold weather officially upon us, I decided to knit a new set for her before she outgrows the ones she’s wearing now.

little sweater ornaments

By On December 18, 2010 · 6 Comments

I’ve wanted to make these ornaments for a long time. The pattern is from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. The inspiration for the Husker “N” came from my friend Christy, who has made a gazillion of these. The pattern suggests making a hanger out of a pipe cleaner and I think it’s [...]

Yes. I still knit. It may be hard to believe with all of my crochet posts, but I still do. Nothing compares to knitting in the round on double pointed needles. I LOVE it.

You just need to get over the fear that all of the stitches will immediately unravel. Take it from someone who unravels sweaters a lot. It’s [...]

thrifty find: green sweater

By On August 12, 2010 · 5 Comments

Finally! The thrifty find I missed last week. This isn’t actually my find. I guess when you regularly blog about recycling, reusing and refashioning, you get a reputation. A few weeks ago, my friend Kelly texted me this:

how to: crochet or knit single row stripes

By On August 10, 2010 · 2 Comments

I first heard about this at knitting retreat. It’s a really simple idea and I can’t believe it has never occurred to me on my own. I love skinny stripes, but breaking yarn at each row leaves too many ends to weave. I always figured that I’d have to do two rows of each color [...]
