Large Shallow Felted Bowl with Smaller Opening

This was not the best color to use, as it’s a little too dark to see well, so I will probably redo it in a lighter color. I’ll also do one that is deeper. Right now, though, I’m working on a bowl with a ruffle.
Materials
Size 11 circular or double-pointed […]

These are the bedsocks that I knit for Lawrence’s teacher for Christmas. I used Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande in #2567 and used a pattern from the first issue of Knitscene, although I ribbed the cuffs. It’s a fairly basic sock pattern. I call them bedsocks because they’re so thick that they’re really best for keeping […]

The site itself is gorgeous and useful. You can shop for products in several different ways, including by color, by location of seller and by Time Machine, which lets you see all the listings […]

I’m working on a pattern for a felted bowl, which I plan to post here when it’s done.
I’m using Noro Kureyon color #74, just a single strand, on #13 needles (I tend to knit tightly). I started off with 75 stitches and will start decreasing after about another inch of stockinette.
