Knitty Nerd: Red, red yarn
http://www.knittynerd.com/2013/07/red-red-yarn.html
Friday, 5 July 2013. Red, red yarn. I have decided how to begin my journey towards writing my own patterns. One of the skills I lack is choosing yarn. Usually I just use the yarn recommended in the pattern. Next, I will try to make the same things with different yarns, and try to learn about their qualities and what they are best used for.

Knitty Nerd: More adventures in red
http://www.knittynerd.com/2013/07/more-adventures-in-red.html
Monday, 29 July 2013. More adventures in red. So, I've knitted my red bow. In several red yarns now, but needed a break so I tried a new pattern for baby booties. I found the pattern at Drops. And knitted it in a cotton yarn using 3 mm needles. It was a very simple pattern and definitely suitable for beginners, and they turned out quite cute. I didn't add the crochet edges, and now they kind of look like doll booties, but they are in baby size. Until next time,. Monday, July 29, 2013.

http://www.knittynerd.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 August 2013. This is so nice. Over at Miss Marple's Knitting Club. They have written a good explanation of what intarsia knitting. Is, and at the same time they have featured one of my cowls. Now other people is writing about my knitting, too. In other news I am looking for input on colors for a dragon over at my facebook page. And I am contemplating what to do with the skein below. As you may have already seen here on the blog, there is a plan to have an evening of slow TV about knitting.

Knitty Nerd: June 2013
http://www.knittynerd.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. Outside the sun is shining, a bee is buzzing and a cat is chasing something unseen through the grass; in short, summer is here. But every summer is a sign of what is to come next, and so, even though I don't live in the same world as the Starks of Winterfell, winter is coming. In a few months a cold breeze will caress my neck, a leaf will turn to more earthly tones and the weekend music of lawnmowers and hegdeklippers will no longer flow through the neighborhood. And so I prepare.

Knitty Nerd: Tiny
http://www.knittynerd.com/2013/08/tiny.html
Monday, 26 August 2013. I have now tried my hand at miniature knitting. My first attempt is this knitting project for a doll living in a dollhouse with what I think is an Edwardian style (but I might be totally wrong about that). The dollhouse is 1:12 scale (compared to our regular sized houses), and very impressive. The masks became a little loose with the cotton yarn, it was a little stiff, so maybe I should try with softer woolen yarn to get a tighter finished fabric. Until next time,.

Knitty Nerd: Almost patterns
http://www.knittynerd.com/p/almost-patterns.html
This is where I publish my almost patterns. These are simple type ups of projects that I've done without any pattern, but they are not worked through properly and do not have any tension or gauge recommendations, for instance. However if anyone can use this, feel free. Thick and thin cowl. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Miss Marple's Knitting Club. A book on my wish list.

Knitty Nerd: Slow TV about knitting
http://www.knittynerd.com/2013/06/slow-tv-about-knitting.html
Monday, 17 June 2013. Slow TV about knitting. Thursday NRK, a Norwegian broadcasting company, announced that there would be a full evening of slow TV about knitting. According to Wikipedia slow TV. Is "a term used for a genre of live "marathon" television coverage of an ordinary event in its complete length". NRK has covered ordinary events in this manner before, like in February when they had a focus on firewood which was written about by The New York Times. I'll be back with more later. Until next time,.
