Yes but no! but Yes!
Yes, but no!, but yes! is right, for sure. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. This is bacon being knitted. Not a cool pattern mimicking bacon, but the actual pork product knitted up on chopsticks. I’ve now seen it all. You can read about it at Yes, But No, But Yes! (The knitted…

Cheer me up with these glasses!
How badly do I want the delicious “Ripped” and “Frogged” pint glasses for frothy bevvies, on sale at the brilliant knitting community Ravelry. The pair, which feature the knitting terms for ripping back work when an error is found (sometimes really far back, making ripping the most dreadful of sorts) and for frogging a project…

Tonight is “Danger”, baby, I feel so dangerous…
One of my closest friends from college, Jessica “Mim” George–who blogs delicious treats (she’s a cupcake baker extraorindaire, ok?!) over at Go Team Sweet! and did a post about her cupcaking and a post about her hula hooping fascination for Kraftworkin’ a year or so ago–has recently moved back stateside after living in New Zeland…

Yes, my good friend Mackenzie recently gifted me…

The skeins of cotton yarn (featuring white, what looks like navy/black, and yummy grays and teals) start around $7.50 and you can bet I’ll…

More knitting by the lakeside..or is it thigh side?
Exciting news! A bit of progress on the Lakeside Lace Socks by Julia Vaconsin. With a few changes to note… I’ve decided to make them thigh highs on the idea that I may actually: 1. Wear them more (with dresses and skirts in fall) 2. I will have the added ability to show off their…

A Heart-y dose of kitsch love…
I love knitting up little tiny toys. Lately, I’ve been stockpiling a whole bunch of tiny knitted hearts, courtesy a pattern from MochiMochi. Some of these tweedy littles will have eyes (instead of embroidering them as I usually do, I’ve decided to use black felt paint, which will be so easy!) and some will remain…
