Japanese Knot Bag
I was browsing this thread about project bags, saw this design, and thought I should try it out. A quick search of the internet found me some basic instructions (this tutorial has particularly decent pictures and nice clear indications of where to sew), so I free-handed a pattern and gave it a shot. In the…

Pi day swap!
One of the Ravelry groups I enjoy runs a pi/e themed yarn swap and I decided to participate this year because seriously, how awesome is that? The deal was that you had to include yarn or spinning fiber, some edible goodies, a handcrafted item, and other goodies related to pi or pie. Target value was…

Easy Kitty Hat

Butterfly Baby Sweater (simplified top-down one piece cardigan for self-striping sock yarn)
Remember my post about pictures of knitting in sunlight? I think it’s about time I post a few finished photos to go with that, isn’t it? The project was a baby sweater, again for baby V, who probably qualifies as a toddler now that she’s, well, toddling! My pattern is based off Eyelet Baby Cardigan…

Pi Baby Sweater
A couple of the lovely friends I met through Mathsoc announced they were expecting a child, and I knew immediately what I wanted to send to the shower. Since math nerd baby clothes aren’t exactly the sort of thing one picks up at toys-r-us, I spent a lot of time at PyCon knitting up a…

Little Fox Tail
When my friend K announced that he and his wife were expecting their first child, I threatened to make an inordinate number of animal hats for the kid. The first of these turned out to be a Failynn Fox Cowl, which while adorable, is also much too big for a newborn no matter what the…
