This week is crazy, what with getting things done for school and preparing to travel. However, I have managed to finish some knitting, and soon (very soon) I’ll post a pattern for the owl cabled knee socks. I am so pleased with these, I had to try them on and take a photo of them [...]

It’s been a very full week here in the land of Dulle Griet (and if we’re going to draw a direct connection between this Griet and the Griet of the painting, you can see that the land of Dulle Griet can be hellish, to say the least). Yesterday, though- there was snow! And it stuck [...]

Super Wolf! Ok, well, maybe not so super. But she’s definitely not a fox anymore. I finished her today, and the first thing I thought was, “she’s naked.” Is this madness? I mean, it’s a stuffed animal. And, on top of that, I am an adult and this wolf can clearly not be gifted to [...]

Sleeves, button band & crocheted trim: Sleeves Usually, when I knit sleeves I work in the round. For this sweater, though, I worked the sleeves flat and at the same time because I was adjusting them to fit my arm as I went, and I wanted to be sure they matched. The sleeves are fairly [...]

Ok, so I’m a little late with this, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me an hour (or two). Things have been a little busy around here, and I had to put this on the back burner. And so, to Part 2: Arm holes and yoke curves, and a little bit of neck. So, if you’ve [...]

First of all, thank you to those of you who wrote me comments on my last post. It’s exciting to see that people are actually reading this blog, and even more exciting to see that people may actually make the cardigan! I hope that anyone who does will send me a photo or a link [...]

Aside from the adventure of the Big Purple Scarf, my knitting pile for the past few months has been all brown, all the time. And it doesn’t look like it’s letting up any time soon. Behold: Ok, so edit that, brown and grey all the time. This is my project line up, and a hint [...]

Well, it’s February, and I do believe I owe you a tutorial on my Truffle Cardigan knock off. Thank you so much to all the people who have favorited it- you’ve made me really happy. As I have told several people who’ve asked for the pattern, I feel weird publishing a pattern for a sweater [...]
