Did you see the new knitty…

So, did you happen to see the new knitty?  There might just possibly be a sock in there I recognize! Planorbis corneus Sock, from the new book, is in this season's knitty.  It seemed like a lovely way to share a bit of the fun of the new book with everyone (and maybe take the edge off while you wait for the electronic version to go live on the 17th and the paper version to ship a bit later in the month). These socks are made with String Theory's lovely Bluestocking yarn.  And the inspiration for these socks was a [...]

Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet Volume III

You all know I'm not naturally inclined to keep my mouth shut and wait patiently.  And I've been doing just that with Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet Volume III for far too long.  It was a terrible strain on my baser instincts.  So it is with great delight that I can finally make it all public! The book is now available for preorder. If you head over to the book's website, you can see all the patterns.  You can also check them out on ravelry and get them added to your queue!  And of course, there are preorder discounts (20% off the [...]

KCC3 Preorder Schedule

I'm thrilled to announce the schedule for the upcoming release of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume III.  Just like last time, I'll be doing a preorder.  Now I know placing a preorder is a bit of an act of trust, so I've planned some special deals for folks who want to get in early.  I am explaining it all here, ahead of time, so you can make your plans and ask any questions before everything starts tomorrow.  So, without further ado, The Plan (and as always, if you buy a paper copy of any of my books directly through me, [...]

Book Yarn, Part IX

KCC3 is debuting soon (next week, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These cheerful offerings are from SweetGeorgia.  SweetGeorgia does amazing colors.  Rich, saturated, intense colors.  The colors that bolder, braver people than I manage to use in their houses and I always think it looks fabulous and am secretly jealous.  And while I can't pull it off in my house, thanks to SweetGeorgia, I can totally manage it in my stash!  And I've been [...]

Book Yarn, Part VIII

KCC3 is debuting soon (this month, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book.  So without further ado, yarn. This lovely burst of sunshine is from the good folks at Malabrigo.  I'm guessing most of you already know all about Malabrigo (it's that one you find yourself hopelessly drawn to when you walk into your favorite yarn shop).  And I'm guessing I love it just about as much as you do.  It's turned a pair of fetching hats in Ne'er-Do-Well Knits, a [...]

Book Yarn, Part VII

KCC3 is debuting soon (this month, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book.  So without further ado, yarn. These charming bits of yarn are from Dream in Color.  Dream in Color, not surprisingly, does amazing colors.  I swear I've not seen a shade I don't like.  So as you might expect, it finds its way onto my needles often.  There are last year's knitty socks, two other individual socks, a hat, and some socks from the first book.  And well, I [...]

Book Yarn, Part VI

KCC3 is debuting soon (this month, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book.  So without further ado, yarn. These beauties are from Lorna's Laces.  I adore Lorna's Laces' colors, and they've got a base that will work for pretty much any project you might have in mind.  So it's no surprise that their yarn has found its way onto my needles before!  It's been delightful in socks and a cowl from KCC2, and more lovely socks from the first book.  And [...]

Book Yarn, Part V

KCC3 is debuting soon (next month!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book.  So without further ado, yarn. These charming bits of fluffy goodness are from Shibui.  Shibui does something awfully nifty.  They have a range of fabulous yarn bases, and a set of lovely colors, and the colors carry over from base to base.  That means if you want to combine yarns in a single project, you can do it with confidence.  It's really rather magical.  It's actually something I'm playing [...]

Book Yarn, Part IV

KCC3 is debuting soon (next month!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book.  So without further ado, yarn. These lovely bits of goodness are from Blue Moon Fiber Arts.  Have I mentioned how one of the coolest things about doing these books is getting to use yarns I love?  So it should come as no surprise that Blue Moon has found its way onto my needles before.  There were the socks and shawl in the first KCC book, some socks in my [...]
