How to knit a $94 neckwarmer (Free Pattern!)

plus a bit of ranting, because nothing is ever really free of payment in some form, is it? (If you are only reading this for the pattern skip to the end. )

It’s already been established that I’ve turned into a intermittent blogger. I’d apologize for it, but I assure you I’ve had nothing to [...]

Country Gingham Tea Towel – Update

I’ve noticed an upsurge in people downloading the pattern for the towel.  First of all, thank you!  You are awesome.
Secondly, I wanted to let you know that an update in the pattern is brewing as we speak.  The update will include the fix for the mistake in the written instructions, expanded instructions for how exactly [...]

Gingham and Daisy thoughts, Errata

I have news for two of my projects, the Daisy Wheel Bag and the Country Gingham Hanging Tea Towel (CGHTT). First the Daisy.
You guys are terrific, and I really appreciate and am heartened by your comments and input on the Daisy Wheel bag. (By the way I’m not committed to that name and [...]

Things I’ve been doing vs. things I OUGHT to be doing: Pt 1

Sometimes the fine art of procrastination has worthwhile results. I just uploaded a pdf with charts of the Ravelry logo, suitable for your knitting, embroidery, cross stitch or crochet needs. Or whatever you may use charts for. (I think it will work for crochet. Crochet diagrams confound me.)
It looks like this.

A girl’s best friend

The Daisy Wheel is still on hold after a trip to the nameless big box store turned up fruitless because they allegedly don’t carry the necessary yarn in the color I need. Which it took three different associates to find out. Despite the fact that I originally bought it there in the first [...]

Daisy

This is a work-in-progress that I have no qualms blogging about because the pattern is probably going to be enough of a pain-in-the-ass that I won’t even bother submitting it anywhere. I like it when the yarn tells you what to do. I cast on thinking I was going to make another towel. [...]

ReCycle Pattern Update

I revised the Recycle Pattern so that both the pattern and chart are included in one file instead of two.  The change is reflected in both the pattern page and the box widget. This should make it more convenient to download.

Country Gingham Tea Towel (Free Pattern too!)

So the towel is done, and I must say I’m quite fond of it. I uploaded the pattern in pdf form for anyone interested, and listed it on the patterns page. As usual you can also use the box widget on the side. I proofread the pattern, but I didn’t enlist a second [...]
