House Plants

I have a confused Christmas cactus, but its colors are exquisite. Maybe this one knows I’m working on holiday designs.

Never not knitting

The yarn goes ever on. I like where it’s leading me.

Does this grate say “sweater yoke” to anyone else?

This is pretty far from what I want for my next design, but it’s cute and makes me smile. I can’t hate that. 😆

An infrequent sighting of the reclusive male knitting designer, squinting in the sun upon leaving the comfort of his studio to find supplies.

Tiny Socks

Sock Ornaments 1-6 is now on Ravelry. 🥳 (Link below) They’re a nice change of pace between/during big knitting projects. Before long you’ll have a set of unique ornaments for decoration or gifting. ☺️ In the background of this photo you can see I have tiny socks strung across my windows. 😆

Tiny Socks

Giving everything the once over before I publish my Sock Ornaments 1-6 pattern on Ravelry tomorrow. Of course I also had to take finger puppet photos. The ornaments are roughly glove finger size.

Travel Knitting

No matter what I’m designing, socks are my go-to travel knitting. These have a few extra bells and whistles… 1x1 cuff ribbing, eye of partridge heel flap, and more 1x1 ribbing in the gusset.

Tiny Socks

This pattern stitch works so nicely on my tiny sock ornament (and looks smashing in pink) but a stitch that fits doesn’t necessarily look right. Art, people, art. Also skill.

Tiny Socks

Samples of the first group of sock ornament patterns I’m publishing. They’re one of my favorite leftover yarn projects, and they just make me smile.

Tiny Socks

Long ago I knit miniature socks as keepsakes to accompany adult gift socks. They were actual top-down heel flap and gusset socks. 😋 I’ve since knit hundreds of ‘em as ornaments, including 12 new designs. Each is 4.5 in / 11.5 cm long. I’m writing the patterns now to publish in 2 sets of 6 ornaments.

Tiny Socks

Most sock ornaments I see are knit in stockinette, so I’ve been adapting pattern stitches to my own tiny sock design. This is the tenth of maybe a baker’s dozen. Pondering whether to publish the patterns individually or collectively. 🤔

I swamped me. My business brain listed the designs I want to publish this year. My creative mind started working on them all at once. Plus personal projects. 🤪 Watch for at least two mesh jockstraps and a Christmas collection of small projects.

Black Yarn

I expected to need more fingering weight black yarn, but I didn’t. Happy Sad. 😬

Black Yarn

Decreases! I’ve knit several of these caps. After nine inches of fingering weight ribbing in black, I’m glad (relieved) to begin decreasing.

Black Yarn

Black hat knitting, white snow falling. A little noir, no?
