The past few weeks, I’ve seen a veritable explosion of traffic to this blog, so I want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s shared a link, either to a Friday Finds or the Design Theory posts. I love having a place to sit and chatter about knitting with people, many of whom I’ve never met in real life. You all are the bomb diggity! I hope you all have a lovely weekend, doing what you do.
- Joan of Dark’s new knitting book, Knits for Nerds now has a cover image up, and it’s hilarious! Joan also wrote Knock Down Knits, full roller derby–inspired knitting patterns, and I can’t wait to flip through Knits for Nerds!
- Allyson over at the Sweatshop of Love has a new free headband pattern available for download. It looks really cute and easy to make; maybe I’ll make a few to bust some stash yarn!
- Derya has posted a follow up to her fantastic Shawl Cheat Sheet, this time taking a look at shawl edgings. This is super handy, as I always tend to get stuck when working out a border.
- I love this cute little crochet half-apron from Lisa Gutierrez. Tessa is a free crochet pattern with easy modifications to make a larger or smaller apron. (I kind of love aprons.)
- Lovely Rita is SO CUTE. I love how this little girl’s jumper goes transitions between colors of yarn. So darling.
- Ruth Garcia-Alcantud’s just published a lovely lacy hoodie called Chambourcin. The open lace pattern in a fingering weight yarn would be perfect for cooler summer evenings.
- Sivia Harding’s Harmonia’s Rings Sweater is a study in fantastic construction. Look at that collar! Giant ribbed cables? Some mind-bending twist? What’s happening there, and how does it contain so much awesome?

It is a great pattern! 🙂
I want to make that lace hood so much!
You should! So I can live vicariously through you until I have the time to knit one myself.
looks like the lace hoodie is the favorite… lovin’ it 😉
It’s pretty sweet, isn’t it?
I started the headband tonight! Very cute and now I can do cables! Yay! I have been putting off learning, but this quick little pattern was the perfect thing to entice me to jump right in. Thanks for posting it!
Yay! Cables are so much fun, I hope you’re enjoying this project!
Stop it! Stop finding so many cute things!
OMG Knits for Nerds. Why is it not out right now?!? Want!
Haha probably because Joan of Dark is likely working through galleys or something. 😉
