I knit some hearts out of tomato red Peruvia last night. The plan is to stuff the the little things, then toss them in the washer to felt. If all goes as planned the hearts will show up as a free pattern in Knitbits in early February. I can't resist the pun - they'll be called "Heartfelt" 🙂 I'll be… Continue reading deflated hearts

One reader (Jenna) asked an interesting question: I’ve been daydreaming of knitting a garment and intentionally fulling it. My inspiration is the classic 'boiled wool' jacket. But my pal Lisa says that won’t work: It would shrink unevenly. The seams would… Continue reading hexagaughan

Here is acton, the third variation, this one sans peplum and knit in Love-it. (See the previous 2 posts for her sisters). For me, Love-it is the summer, or warm climate, Pure Merino.

The house was feeling really good to me after Thanksgiving, and I was inspired to snap a few photos of some of the knitting related items that are so much a part of my life: I love books, especially books about knitting. This is only about 1/4 of my collection. Some are upstairs in the… Continue reading home sweet home
