I know you guys have patiently sat through an awful lot of posts about Resin Jewelry – so it’s time for a triumphant return to knitting. And where better to start than with a free pattern? The Bev Cowl uses 200g of worsted weight yarn to created the comfiest, squishiest easiest-to-wear cowl ever. I had a…

Today I would like to provide the ultimate, irrefutable proof that I can bend time: In the middle of all this resin madness, I have an FO to share. I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing about resin ;) so here is my latest knitting adventure–the Jackson Square shawl by Beth Kling. I’ve knitted 2…

What’s cuter than a couple where one of them is 5 foot 2 and the other is 6 foot 7? Matching hats, that’s what. Johnathan is sporting his Johnathan hat (yes, designed for him :)) and Bev is wearing her new Pasha by Jane Richmond, which I knitted up in Zen Yarn Garden’s Serenity DK, colourway…

So we drove to NYC on the weekend (more on that later) and I was looking for a good knitting project to take up the time. Tito had just received his first pair of socks and he was lovin’ em. So, glumly, I went to the stash and stated poking around looking for something boring…

Pattern is the ever-reliable (and now memorized) Sporty Striped Peds from Purl Soho. Shodan doesn’t seem impressed. That’s ok.
