First of all, I’m in love with my boat shuttle. it doesn’t snag on my warp threads, it can be shot through in one smooth movement, and best of all, it can be loaded up using a power drill in less time than it takes to make a smoothie. I took extra care with this…

I don’t do anything in half measures, so when I decided to try warping the loom all by myself, I chose to use my 12 dent heddle and a lace weight yarn, for a 17” wide scarf. 260 threads later I realized what a commitment warping up a 12 dent heddle could be… and I…

‘Well and good’ (some of you have no doubt been saying) but what is she knitting? These came off the needles a few weeks ago, they’re a gift for a friend (my own Los Guantes De Claudia pattern) and it seems the weather is just chilly enough that she’ll still get a chance to wear…

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…

Just over 2 years ago I finished my first knitting clothing item – a pretty simple, raglan cardi. I was delighted with my accomplishment, and the sweater was super pretty… except that it didn’t quite fit. It didn’t close completely over the chest, and the sleeves were too tight for my arms, and so, sadly,…

Remember this post, where I asked everyone what I should knit, got a majority vote, and then did something else? Here is the finished Trillian, and I’ve got to say – I love it :) Oh, and I also got new hair :) Shortest it’s ever been! Ravelry Project Page here:
