Short Rows in Knitting →
This is one of the best pictorial explanations of short rows I’ve seen. It even includes a tutorial on Japanese short rows, which I plan on mastering this evening for my Brownstone pullover.

Today I might be wearing
Monkey socks, my chunky Quoddy boots, pants, a dress, a shirt, a sweater, a Bandana Cowl, and a Snail Hat. I might also look like a crazy knitter. I love chilly weather.

Check out this site for all things wool. Lots of facts and stories that make me love those fluffy, yarn-bearing animals even more.

“In mathematics, our freedom lies in the questions we ask — and in how we pursue...”

Lately, I've become enchanted
with the idea of reducing, reusing. Using what you’ve got. Going through old things, and either giving them inspiration through a new home or a new use. I decided it was time to retire some of my handknitwear, so I was happy to give gift it to people who want it more than I do. It served its purpose in my life—learning a new technique, or keeping me warm one fall. I’m excited to...

thebrassknuckles: I just finished teaching another sewing class and my brain is fried. I forget how many little things I know that I don’t have to think about that others have to learn. Drop your foot before you start sewing! “Foot” has two meanings! You don’t have to turn your machine off & back on after each line of stitching! Back-stitch over ends! Don’t sew your finger! ROFL.

Socks are the coolest things to knit.
I went a while without making socks, and now it’s all I want to do! I had to get a second skein to finish Damson no. 2 (not that my arm had to be twisted), and the yarn is a dream! I used Dragonfly Fibers Dijinni Sock in Sleepy Hollow, and switched over to That Old Chestnut when I ran out of yarn, which conveniently was right before I started the edging. Nope, I didn’t check my...
