HEAVY SOCKS knitted on the ADDI 22 This is my own pattern for making heavy (bed or house) socks using my Addi 22 from start to finish: heels, toes, ribs and all. This pattern makes socks that fit women’s US size 8 or EU size 39. It’s not possible to make them wider using the…
Asymmetric Scarf/Shawl from Vichy Here I am in Vichy, in early winter, staying inside as much as possible… and thankfully I brought some yarn and some 5.5mm circular needles! Vichy Asymmetric Shawl This shawl is very straightforward: there is a six-row set-up, then a four-row repeat. The shawl starts in one corner and you can…
Non-binary 2 Asymmetric Scarf/Shawl This is a shawl I designed and made for my niece, who is non-binary. I added a tassel to the ‘plain’ end, where I cast on the silver main color. Gauge is not all that important, so long as you make a fluid fabric. I used a circular 4.5mm…

So after frogging (that is, unwinding the entire sock and rewinding…

Here is the original link: https://www.marthastewart.com/1042286/cozy-mittens Of course, I immediately wrote up the pattern, then turned to my…

84-2020 Shawl Collar Pullover In these days of COVIC-19 confinement, I’ve been knitting… a lot. And with a colder spring than usual, it’s been great to have some warmer wool pullovers to hand!
