Crafthole

Congratulations, Eunny!

Wow, I’m all about recycling links today. Eunny Jang is the new editor of Interweave Knits. Hell yeah! Not that I disliked Pam Allen’s work on the publication. Quite the contrary. I hope Ms. Allen’s daughter (a.k.a. the Interweave Amazon) will continue to grace the publication’s pages.

Two nun links means that this blog brings the research.

Yeah, yeah, this is all over the internet now. Greek nuns flee the crushing debt of a failed knitting business. These are nuns who had the savvy to attend fashion week. I want to know: With all the ridiculous coverage of fashion shows and celebrities that attended, why did we not hear about the…

Refinished/Definished Object

A few months ago, there was Glee. I’ve gotta level with you, Glee sucked. The gaping floppiness of the non-reinforced hook and eyes was just a mistake. Between the cleavage-holes and that hot raspberry color, the sweater looked like it could only properly be worn with a leather skirt, a black bra, and…

Search Engines, Please Find Bitch Nation Lucky Clover Wrap Sweater.

When I was preparing to start Lucky last week, I searched for finished ones on the internet and found very few. I’m sure that this is partly because almost nobody wants to make a wrap sweater on size-3 needles, but I also found this: A post about Lucky from split yarn in 2005. The important…

Leaving On A Jet Plane

I’m headed off to the southeast for a sudden visit with family. Coincidentally, I’m experiencing my annual late-winter sock burnout. We can blame this on an amazingly ugly pair of Jaywalkers that are So close to getting ripped out. I’ve cast on the Stitch N Bitch Lucky Clover wrap sweater in some recycled cotton to…

I bet you didn’t know that I ever left the sofa.

I’m a very silent participant in Run-a-go-go. Not only have I not managed to put this “I’m in the club!” graphic on my site in the last month or so, I haven’t logged in to runagogo.com to adjust my status in about 40 miles. Something about their epic group running blog with hundreds of users…

Perfunctory catch-up time.

I’ve had plenty of things to knit, but not too much that I care to post about. Motoring along on the herringbone thing, a few socks, and some other stuff, but since my photography skills leave much to be desired I won’t trouble you with a grainy shot of yet another inch of plain ol’…

Why Gamercraft Would Totally Rock

I’ve only just realized this year that I’m a huge fan of niche self-organization within the knitting community. In college I thought that knitting was the universal language of friendship, but duh, the only knitters I met were other college students living in a designated nerd dorm. Today there are no shortage of loud and…

There are no problems; only opportunities.

I got over my disappointment about being short on yarn, and bounced back nicely. Though I’ve wanted a herringbone sweater for a while now, I’m big enough to admit that I’m pretty much biting this next project wholesale from Kate and Katie. If you look closely, though, you can tell that my herringbone is not…

This post is brought to you by the number 5.

So, just as quickly all of my knitting happiness turned to suck. After all these years, I can’t locate my fifth skein of this green yarn. At 135 yds/skein, I’m not so sure that I have enough for a solid green vest. For all my blathering on about knitting down my stash, the stash has…
