I'm knitting for the first time since learning how to crochet. I forgot how much slower it is XD

I also bought some Starbella yarn, which feels very weird to knit. And it also feels like I'm cheating.

Anybody have any advice to sewing up seams when knitting? I made this project http://www.ravelry.com/projects/CDMacZane/dog-sweater and I'm really happy with it except for that darned seam. I've watched countless youtube videos to no avail. I think it's maybe because the stitches at the end of the rows are kind of sloppy?

Getting back into knitting after a long hiatus of being overworked, in grad school and depressed last year. I forgot how much I enjoy just sitting down with a project and listening to a few podcasts! Heaven.

I started with something simple to use up some light blue yarn. It's fingering weight and bamboo. I used it for a few baby projects for a friend, but had some left over. I wish I was confident to buy nice yarn for a garment project, but I'm still nervous I'll fork it up and waste the yarn. Hopefully I'll get over that.

This is the pattern on ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/botanical-cowl

Start with something small! That's what I do, haha. Though I seem to be stuck in an endless cycle of little accessories...afraid to attempt an actual garment.

It's needle work season again!

(We're all on the settee together: I am crocheting an infinite scarf in a wonderful colour of blue and my special lady friend is reading Dykes To Watch Out For with my cat napping on her back. Autumn isn't too bad.)

OMG hayleylujah and creep! I'm dying.
Such cute patterns! And I'd totally wear everything. All the time.

I've got a million other things to do, but of course I had to start a stripy scarf made exclusively from leftover yarn. Yarn weights differ a bit, but I guess it will look okay when it's done. :)

I'm working on combining a white cotton summer dress and a short sleeved blouse into a Lolita dress for Halloween. I'm going through lots of online tutorials choosing which elements of Lolita style I want, making silhouette sketches and have already bought some broderie trim for it.

Look at the beautiful sweater Maygles made for my daughter Scarlett! What a lucky baby! She won't stop kicking her legs with excitement when she's wearing it, so I couldn't get a picture that wasn't a little blurry.

I have this medium weight denim fabric, should I use my regular fabric scissors or do I need something more heavy duty? I don't want to ruin my scissors!

This is the skirt for my Halloween costume. I decided not to put the broderie on it as it's going to end up blood stained:

And here is another skirt I made. It's the same pattern but without the ruffle on the hem:
