The cardipalooza cardi is still coming!

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…

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!

Why are there so many knit-a-longs starting in January?
January is apparently the month to start knit-a-longs! I guess it makes some sense, since many people are done with holiday gift knitting, but oh my goodness, I’ve seen so many of them that I feel rather overwhelmed. Here’s three I’m seriously considering.

Building the best bacon cookies (Recipe: Spiced Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies with a hint of Sriracha)
I’ve had a few different types of bacon chocolate chip cookies now, because I have the type of life where that’s a viable dietary choice and plenty of friends who are willing to try something new. But I’ve got to say that I’ve got mixed feelings about them. Some bacon chocolate chip cookies are pretty…

Things I always forget about setting up git
You may have seen xkcd’s comic about git: I feel this pain. Because of Mailman, I actually learned Bazaar when many people were learning git, and did most of my contributions through launchpad, so I’m a relative newcomer to git and doing contributions on github (Mailman’s on gitlab now, but I do github for work…

A simple hat in progress
Most of my energies have gone into the new house lately, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been making things too, just that I haven’t had as much time for writing up of late. So here’s what’s currently on the needles while I start sorting through the backlog of photos and creations: This is from…

February 2015 Knit-a-long: week 1 and 2
A local designer (PDXKnitterati) started advertising herFebruary Knit-a-long (KAL) and I thought I’d give it a try. It’s an excuse to try out one of her lovely patterns, to take more pictures for sharing (I definitely need more practice photographing my knitting projects to best effect) and there are even prizes, which is fun.
