By Karen B. Red Java Slouchy Beret I am a serial knitter. At least I became one in the last month. I committed to starting AND finishing three pieces to accompany an old (but still unworn) orange, brown and cream tweed cape. Two you already know about: Malabrigo Arm Thingies (Ravelry) and Malabrigo Neck Thingie (Ravelry). The newbie is [...] By Karen B. December in Chicago and the first snows have fallen, right along with the temperature. I was afraid I wouldn’t have what I needed so I knit as fast as my fingers permitted – just to make sure I was ready for the drop. It’s not as though I don’t have hand knits to wear, right?

Only when we apply these under-over-through actions to the loops in a consistent, uniform way do we begin to see the loops build upon one another into a cohesive fabric. This is something that has fascinated me of late. Just how differently designing [...] By Karen B. I originally had no intention of committing to any more deadlines, since lately I’m finding them little more than a recipe for failure. Grand plans. Not keeping up. The usual blah-blah. So why in heaven’s name did I let friend Rachel persuade me to hop onto another Ravelry knit-along (KAL) bandwagon? This time, it’s all [...] By Karen B. Sadly, for the past week or so, I’ve been doing everything but. I’ve done a few more repeats on the ZigZag scarf but nothing that bears a photo update: “Oh, look! It’s longer than last time.” Yawn. Aside from the usual blah-blah (doctor) blah-blah, there’s been quite a bit of design thinking (and sketching, planning, coloring, procurement) [...] |
