http://blog.sharonmattnadia.com/2007/05/monmouth-cap.html
Knitted Alternately on a Sofa. Monday, May 14, 2007. It seems fitting that the first entry should celebrate a first finished object. These two hats were made from the same pattern, same yarn, same needles. One new knitter (Matt) determined to strangle the yarn. One experienced knitter (Sharon) exploring Continental knitting for the very first time. Lamb's Pride Bulky (85% wool, 15% mohair) in M77 Blue Magic or M03 Gray Heather; 125 yards per skein. Knitted plain until hat is 5 1/2" (rather than 5") and t...

Knitted Alternately on a Sofa. Saturday, November 26, 2011. Building a Modern Calliope. I am thrilled and honored to have my Calliope brioche socks. Published by Twist Collective. Even though the pattern bears my name, it’s amazing how of a collaborative work it really is, what with yarn choice, editing, layout, photography, and modelling. And a rocking sample knitter. On Ravelry) who made the red and purple socks, which totally sell the pattern. There’s no way of knowing, of course. One can on...So, I t...

Knitted Alternately on a Sofa. Thursday, November 14, 2013. Keeping Our Skies Safe From Jam - At Only a Very Minor Risk of Botulism. My checked bag was inspected by the TSA yesterday and I was deeply impressed by their vigilance.

Knitted Alternately on a Sofa: Plastic Pipe (CPVC) Swift
http://blog.sharonmattnadia.com/2009/03/plastic-pipe-cpvc-swift.html
Knitted Alternately on a Sofa. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Plastic Pipe (CPVC) Swift. I recently embarked on a project to reclaim laceweight cashmere from a commercial sweater. I quickly realized that I had no interest in skeining approximately 3500 yards of yarn onto my niddy-noddy. Matt to the rescue - with plastic pipe of course (other plastic pipe projects to his credit include a woodwind instrument, a laundry airer, the niddy-noddy, a footstool, and a yarn rope maker). Here are Matt's write-up and proj...

Knitted Alternately on a Sofa: October 2011
http://blog.sharonmattnadia.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Knitted Alternately on a Sofa. Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Picturesque (aka Dust Bunny). I am very proud to have a new pattern in an Interweave Knits publication. I do feel a bit goofy about it being in Jane Austen Knits. I know I should lead with the quote from Northanger Abbey in which Henry Tilney instructs Catherine Morland on the art of the picturesque.* But this quote is priceless, and I couldn’t resist:. And to her treatment of the subject I will only add, in justice to men, that though to the la...
