HANDMADE

I love to knit! (and sew and sometimes crochet…).  This is a catalog of recent projects.  These projects don’t figure into the professional side of my digital media work (although they sometime becomes props), but please contact me with any requests, ideas or potential collaborations!  I am always looking for new projects to take on and new skills to tackle.

SIMPLE CELL PHONE CASE

This is a basic cellphone case knit in circular needles using Judy’s magic cast on. I love a project with no sewing!

It is a variation from this pattern – alternating seed stitch with stockinette.

BABY GOAT SWEATERS!

Possibly the cutest thing ever! Every spring I try to visit the amazing Sunflower Farm Creamery in Cumberland Maine to hang out with adorable baby goats. This year I made sweaters! They were a bit challenging – as these are the first sweaters I have ever made – and they required some new skills. But they came out pretty well and the goats didn’t complain! The pattern is sold on at the Sunflower Farm farm store.

Sweaters are modeled by tiny siblings Frannie and Farnsworth – who are being help up by Hope Hall the amazing woman who runs the farm with her husband Chris.

SLOUCHY HAT BY SHEEP & STITCH

This is a great hat pattern by Divina at Sheep & Stitch. Her tutorials are super clear and helpful for beginners as well as experienced knitters. The pattern for this hat is extremely easy to follow – and free! – and there is even a detailed 1-hour step-by-step tutorial. Follow Divina @sheepandstitch

 I made this one for my Mom and will be making one for myself this fall.

SIMPLE MEN’S HAT

This is a simple 3×1 rib free hat pattern from B.Hooked – also comes with a video tutorial.  This is the first hat I ever made and first time knitting in the round.  I made it for my partner Shaun, but it was not slouchy/long enough for him – but kind of perfect for me (a second longer hat is in the works!).

This is made with the same yarn as the fingerless gloves below.  Its a handdyed merino from Luminous Brooklyn, the house brand of Argyle Yarn Shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
