		<title>It really can be more fun to give than to receive.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is B, in a hat I (finally) finished and sent him, of my own original yarn-combining (Malabrigo Worsted and Knitpicks Palette, if you must know) and design-composing um&#8230; design.
By sheer dumb luck with my measurements, it seems to meet his fits-in-pocket, covers-ear-tips-at-least and is-soft-and-warm qualifications, while not quite managing to clash terribly with his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=38&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wine cozy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the pattern on knitty.com, I have finally finished a project (well, mostly finished a project). I present to you, my wine cozy!

I am going to embelish it with red sparkly felt hearts, and perhaps some red beads to match. I&#8217;d like to use a smaller weight yarn next time, maybe fingering, so the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=34&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m not dead!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just been entirely unmotivated in the crafting arena these past few months. Moving to Oakland really took it out of me, and deciding to go off my meds certainly couldn&#8217;t have helped.
I have been drifting a bit towards paper crafts though, and now have a little shelf dedicated to them above the foot of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=32&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I have arrived.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scarves,
My progress on Bob is stalled.  He is teal and legless.  This is the part of creating the world where I rest (or at least Bob does, &#8217;cause he doesn&#8217;t have to go to work or anything).
However?  In terms of spinning, I feel like I have arrived.  Silk hankies, stretched into pencil thin roving, may [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=30&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Behold:

Free Pattern: Bob



This is a free and easy pattern for everyone to enjoy. Please check out the Mochimochi Land Shop for more patterns that you’ll love!

This is Bob. Bob’s shape was inspired by the plastic thing that floats in your toilet tank. He’s not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=29&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>spinning wheel envy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Skewers,
So how are things going with the spinning wheel? Is it getting plenty of use? Does it have fights with your harp for a coveted space in the front room?
I still really want a traveling wheel.

		<title>Fun scarf and fun bag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend sent me a very cool skein of yarn. It even smelled cool. How did she do that? I don&#8217;t know.
This is the end result. A scarf, of course:

Closeup of the fringe:

The best lighting was in the bathroom, sadly.
I found a cute purse at a yard sale last weekend. See where the buttons are? [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=27&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Conservative Sweater Lust and Geeky Patterns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scarves,
I suspect, instead of my originally planned sweater, that I&#8217;ll knit this, Stephanie Japel&#8217;s Cropped Cardigan with Leaf Ties.  Why?  Simply because it&#8217;s so much smaller and should use less than 1000 yards of worsted weight yarn. Between the smallness and the relative simplicity of the pattern, I might even finish it in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=26&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>DNA and tea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I want to make some version of this:

Probably very small (ugh, will have to break out the teenytinydriveyouinsane needles). There needs to be more nerdy knitting patterns out there, or at least more that I am aware of. Maybe a water molecule pattern, except I hate chemistry.
Also, I want to try a version of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skewersandscarves.wordpress.com&blog=2203501&post=25&subd=skewersandscarves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
