I’ve been rather quiet on the blog, and I apologize for that! You see, we’ve been KILLER busy! According to our [back of napkin] business plan, ModeKnit Yarn, LLC wasn’t scheduled to begin working on acquiring wholesale orders until 2015.

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Archer Mitts
Provisional cast on? ICord Bind Off? Short Rows? Grafting? Creating a Thumb Gusset? These are all techniques that you can try out with this simple pattern. Note that I said SIMPLE, which is not the same thing as EASY!
The Knitting Dead, All The Colors
I’ve made the decision to display ALL of the colors together, in a cohesive group, which I hope will make these more compelling colorways!
The Knitting Dead, Color 2: Daryl Dixon
Daryl’s the quiet muscle, the thinking wo/man’s redneck, and he’s proven to be a better friend, defender and father-figure than almost anyone else on the show.
An Open Letter to Mrs. Brokaw

Straighten Your Knocker
Straighten Your Knocker brings all of the rich, masculine colors of the portal into Sherlock’s world together into one beautiful colorway.

And we’re proud and happy and absolutely joyous.
