Chlorochrous & Shibui

I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Chlorochrous in Staccato by Shibui  There are days (I decline to say how many), when I need just a little extra help to get through the day -- some sort of extra armor to keep me safe from the world (or just possibly to keep the world safe from me).  It has not escaped my notice that you can wear [...]

Fulvous & The Plucky Knitter

I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Fulvous in Bello Worsted by The Plucky Knitter  I've already professed my love for the two extremes of the cable spectrum.  The last project satisfied my need for the big meaty cables, this one takes care of my undying fondness for teeny tiny cables.  Just to make things even more interesting, there's a bit of dropped stitch action going on, [...]

Icterine & Cephalopod Yarns

I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Icterine in Bugga by Cephalopod Yarns  There is something to be said for extremes.  When it comes to cables, I tend to embrace the far ends of the spectrum.  I find myself madly in love with both itty bitty one-by-one cables and with big swoopy cables that involve so many stitches that things crumple up in the middle and make [...]

Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Filemot in Fine by Spud & Chloë  There is a place in this world for auto pilot knitting.  The stuff you can knit in the dark at the movie theater, or over a beer in the dimly lit bar, or while watching some deeply engrossing tv show.  Projects like that are lovely, and there are several of them in this [...]

Sinopia & Blue Sky Alpacas (giveaway)

I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Sinopia in Alpaca Silk from Blue Sky Alpacas  One of my goals for this book was to make patterns that would work with whatever amount of yarn you happened to have.  It's easy to feel like you can make something marvelous with 500 yards of yarn.  It can be a bit trickier if you're working with half that.  But because [...]

Nacarat & Briar Rose Fibers (giveaway)

I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Nacarat in Fourth of July from Briar Rose  I've often confessed that I rely on several marvelous sample knitters to help me produce all the pieces you see in my books.  There is just no way I could knit everything myself and still put out books at the rate I like to publish them.  But every now and then, a [...]

Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Watchet in F-55 from Claudia Hand Painted Yarn  You all know I'm a fan of things being tidy and orderly.  I keep my books in alphabetical order and line them up with a ruler.  My yarn is carefully sorted, and so is my tea.  I like things to be arranged just so.  So it should be no surprise at all [...]

Ianthine & Space Cadet Creations (giveaway)

I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Ianthine in Oriana 8-Ply from Space Cadet Creations  I am, generally, fairly immune to the charms of what you might call girly things.  I don't do pink and purple.  I'm not all that susceptible to lace.  I'm far more likely to wear jeans than a skirt.  But every now and then, when I'm not expecting it, something undeniably girly will [...]

Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new!  Infuscate in Selku from String Theory  Most of the time, holes in your knitting are a bad thing, a cause for great alarm.  But in this case, the holes in this piece are a very good thing indeed.  I am hopelessly in love with the stitch pattern used for this Curl.  I keep thinking it looks like kelp or seaweed [...]
