Under the radar

Between the secret swap gift and some long-delayed half-finished projects, it's gone a bit quiet around here, but I have been working on a few things: There's some chocolate cherry Finn wool on my spinning wheel that is almost done, I need to spin another half-bobbin

FO: Tell-Tale Heart

This was made for a Ravelry Swap with the theme "Ewe Creep Me Out". Edgar Allen Poe wrote The Tell-Tale Heart, which was the first Poe I read and it stayed with me. The story was published in 1843 and is classic Gothic fiction. If you haven'

FO: Welted Hat #2

When Welted Hat #1 was given to its new owner, she did a little dance, and wore it until she about overheated in the restaurant we had dinner at. Clearly this called for a repeat performance, though for a different recipient. Pattern: A Hat for Eudora Yarn: Queensland Collection Kathmandu

To knitters and crafters, they are the non-crafting humans, also a majority who have little understanding of a crafting brain. For instance, non-crafters may think that because a person is knitting, they can't pay

FO: Welted hat

This was a fun project, and it's part of my 2012 stash-busting resolution to knit primarily from the stash. I seem to be on a hat kick, I've been eyeing several patterns like the Hannah newsboy hat, the Ekaterin slouch hat, the Pineapple Upside Down Hat,

Chainmail

Spent some time working on more chainmail. Since I have smaller wrists, the only bracelets that will fit me are ones I make myself. Used two new chainmail weaves to make these two, first is Japanese Lace: This is a very time-consuming design, but fantastic to wear, it feels smooth

Spinning FO: Corgi Hill Farm Polwarth Silk

This was my first fibre order from Corgi Hill Farm, a custom-dyed braid of polwarth/silk in Burnt Orange. I was a little afraid of how tightly the braid had been made, but the fibre was a dream to spin and not compressed at all. I was aiming for a
