Knitting 101. There are some great quotes in this video, my favorite being: “Tape is like knitting for everybody”.
A new hat for Dempsey, based on Lee Meredith’s excellent Custom Tritops pattern. I was inspired by socks: the main part of the hat is an allover eye-of-partridge pattern, like a sturdy sock heel, and the ears are made just like turkish-cast-on sock toes. We had a fun time experimenting with the position of the ears. I opted to put them on the crown of the hat, but they looked weird with the slouchy way Dempsey wore the hat. Instead, the ears are stitched on just a few inches above the brim.
A new sweater. Something odd and fun. I knit this boat-neck jumper out of cheap lambswool, and put proper collegiate block letters on the front. More information than you desire is on Ravelry.
