I have finally convinced my boyfriend to take some better pictures of me in Lyra’s coat:
It is also just warm enough to actually wear it.

I got this yarn in the mail a couple days ago, but I haven’t had time to write about it yet:
It’s from Brooklyn Handspun, and it’s called Instant Gratification in the “Kinda Camo” colourway.
I am so happy with it. I have started swatching it, and it works up so smooth and my cables show [...]

I have just finished reading Women’s Work: The First 20,000 Years - Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times by Elizabeth Wayland Barber; it was wonderful and transported me through time to see the work all those women did making things to make their lives a little more beautiful. It appears to be out [...]

This weekend we drove from Vancouver to Saskatoon. This is not really knitting related, but here are some pictures from west to east:

This sweater solves my knitting Catch-22: I don’t buy sweaters because this depletes perfectly legitimate yarn resources, and I don’t knit anything ordinary, because why would I want to spend that much time on something that is not fabulous? This means that I never have a plain black cardigan or [...]
I just finished my latest creation. I took it with me on my last trip and worked on it on the plane, and I perfectly gaged how big it could be before I would run out of yarn.
This is all I have left:
Surely that is a thing of beauty.

This sweater has much to recommend it: it is warm and cosy and a fast enough knit to be ready before it gets too warm to need it. The cowl can be worn buttoned or open as an oversized collar. There is a minimum of actual direction [...]

I was away this week in Washington DC, and the cherry blossoms were in bloom, just as they should be. I walked around the mall and here is proof that I was actually there:
The weather was beautiful. I walked so far trying to see everything.
Now I am back in Saskatchewan, and this morning [...]

Please don’t stop reading — I really do. Algebra is the only thing that allows me to design knitting the way I want to.
I suppose you can cast on for a scarf or other simple garment and just start knitting, especially if you listen to Debbie New and follow some of her swatchless knitting techniques, [...]
