My hubby loves Wario. Whenever we play Mario Party, he’s always Wario, and he always wins. Because of his love and devotion (to Wario and me), I decided to make him a Wario Pulsewarmer to show his Wario-pride.
It’s knit in the round with a provisional cast on. The top and bottom edges [...]
After reading that Kool-Aid will dye yarn, I’ve been wanting to try it out ever since. It seems harmless enough – I do drink that stuff afterall. I had a ball of Patons Classic Merino Wool in Aran in my stash, so I went to the grocery store and got some supplies.
Here’s what came out [...]
I have a few circular needles from before my Denise days. They sit in my yarn bag in a fairly unruly fashion, and the cords get all wound up tight which makes them hard to use. Katy had gotten me a great needle case for Christmas, but it only worked with straights and [...]
Pattern: Potholder from Lion Brand, Mason-Dixon Washcloth from Mason-Dixon Knitting
Yarn: Lion Cotton in Sagebrush
Gauge: didn’t check (who cares what size a dishcloth & potholder is)
Needles: Size 8 Denise, Size K crochet hook

After another week of knitting, including a round-trip 3-hour car ride, here’s where I am with Isabella:
This is not getting any faster! I did just start the armhole decreases, so the end is near. But then again, there’s still the front piece. I really like how it looks, but I’m really quite [...]
I finished Yorick a while ago, but just haven’t had a chance to blog about it. Anyhow, here’s a picture of the FO:
Yarn: Patons Classic Merino Wool – 1 skein
Gauge: 18 sts x 24 rows = 4″ in stockinette (pre-felting)
Needle: Size 8 Denise
Pattern: Yorick from Knitty
I had a lot of fun knitting this, as [...]
I started Isabella this weekend – swatched on Friday and started knitting on Saturday. It’s really tough knitting so small, but I really like how it looks. It’s thin and even and soft. I especially like the picot hem in the pattern – a very classy touch indeed.
I’ve knit most of Saturday [...]
