Pi day t-shirt (free silhouette cut file)
I designed this shirt for my sister as part of a belated pi day present: This was done using my Roboknife (also known as a Silhouette Portrait Craft Cutter, but that’s way too much of a mouthful to talk about my robotic knife. Well, okay, it’s more of a scalpel, but whatever.) and two colours…

The continuing cardi story…
The cardipalooza cardi is still coming! It’s been a month and I’ve been knitting it while reading weird gardening texts: #gardeningproblems A photo posted by Terri Oda (@drterriko) on Mar 25, 2016 at 10:45pm PDT While enjoying my actual garden: Late afternoon knitting and tea time ☕ Glad to be done work before the sun…

Strawberry gloves
My other goal for 2015 was to try some more stranded colourwork that wasn’t double-knitting. I had intended to do more simple stuff, but I fell in love with this pattern and you know how it goes from there. The pattern is Strawberry Fields by Jami Brynildson. It was one of the shop patterns offered…

A sweater for me (just started!)
One of my goals for 2015 was to knit an adult-sized sweater, but I cheated a bit and made one for my sister (who’s smaller than I and one of the smaller adults I know). So I revised my goal for 2016 and here’s the start of something cool, I hope: That’s the swatch for…

Jimmy Beans Wool Beanie Bags, January 2016
January 2016’s Beanie Bag was all about yarn construction. I got the purple version, which was really quite nice! This month’s notion was a shawl pin from Knitter’s Pride (I was so glad mine arrived intact — apparently a few got broken in transit!), there was the usual little package of wool wash from soak,…

Rose City Yarn Crawl – Mystery Crochet-a-long (Clue 3 and 4)
Crawl starts soon, and of course I’m last-minute blocking! Here’s clue 3: And the final clue, clue 4, unblocked. I actually missed the final colour change, those last points are supposed to be cake-coloured. But honestly, I’m so in love with the yellow/orange yarn that I’m kind of glad I made the mistake. Plus it…

Rose City Yarn Crawl Mystery Crochet-a-long (Clue 1 and 2)
This pattern is named after Rimsky-Korsacoffee house, one of the local places that takes “keep Portland weird” as a personal mission. Also, it has great cake.

Rose City Yarn Crawl Mystery Knit-a-longs (Clue 1 and 2)
As I mentioned in my post about knit-a-longs, the Rose City Yarn Crawl runs both a knit and crochet a long in the month leading up to the yarn crawl. It’s a real treat seeing people wear their creations out on the crawl, and I wanted to be one of those gals sporting a new…

Catch a Falling Star MKAL Clue 3
I’ve paused on this knit-a-long since the Rose City Yarn Crawl ones have started and I foolishly have tried to do both, but here’s what it looked like at clue 3: I really liked the bind-off in this. You can’t tell from the in progress photo, but it’s designed so that the bind off is…

Catch a Falling Star MKAL week 2
The week 3 clue came out on Friday, so I’m a bit behind still. But Clue 2 was much easier than clue 1, at least! Here’s what clue 2 looks like for me and my dino buddy: Still loving that thick cuff, but not so much loving the transition at the wrist bead line —…

Catch a Falling Star MKAL
I did manage to cast on one of those knit-a-longs: the fingerless mitt “Catch a Falling Star” MKAL. since clue 2 has now been released (as I write this — I think clue 3 might be released by the time this posts), here’s my pictures from casting on and clue 1!

Celtic Shawl for M
Made this one for my friend M. But apparently this is the only picture that turned out! Pattern: Celtic Myths (heh, I typed “Mythos” first — I think a bit too much Cthulhu in my life) Yarn: Timberline Ice by Alexandra’s Crafts. This is a really lovely blend: 63% superwash, 20% silk, 15% nylon, 2%…
