The idea is pretty much everywhere, from the most radical of feminists, to the most superficial ad campaigns put out by companies that also sell skin-bleaching agents in India. “Love Your Body”. It’s about the only thing most feminists, most mainstream people, and the Empowerment Industry seem to find common ground on. And on its...

Commented on "Fuzzy Logic"
Thanks, I’ll post another video later on how to pick up from the purl side, which is necessary sometimes. There’s also a trick involving picking up an extra stitch in the corner which I’ll have to document somehow.
I changed the look of the blog about a week ago. Blogger makes it pretty easy to do. Originally posted as a comment

Perfecting the Perpendicular Pickup →
In a previous post, I described how to join knitted pieces at right angles to each other, in such a way that the join is as neat as possible. The join used the sliding-loop technique devised by…

Four entrelac hats →
Four hats, originally uploaded by fuzzyjay.
These are the last four hats that I designed and knit. They are meant to be worn with the brim folded up, either inside or outside, for…
YAREH! Yet another ribbed-entrelac hat →
Lori made herself a ribbed entrelac hat using the techniques I taught her. It’s her own design, though it shares an affinity with the other hats I made with this technique. Like the others, it’s…
Random time, plus another Ribbed-Entrelac Hat →
I finished the third entrelac hat made up of ribbed squares. I like this one a lot, and I’m happy with the way it came out, even though there are a number of small errors in the i-cord edging.
"Walkerized" decreases →
Barbara Walker started the whole thing when she changed slip-one-knit-one-pass-slip-stitch-over (sl1-k1-psso) to slip-slip-knit (ssk). Did you know that most decreases can be modified in a…
Entrelac Star →
This would be nice as a decoration made of cotton and starched. The example is knit of worsted-weight acrylic. I don’t really recommend acrylic for this. The tips of the star tend to…
Entrelac diagrams →
For the last year, I’ve been experimenting with entrelac knitting. I find diagrams to be a good way to think about and explore entrelac knitting.
In this post, I’ll show how to read my…

60 squares. Will I ever knit it? I dunno.
Continuous-loop cable design, Part 3 →
Getting fancier:
See how I can’t help but complicate things?
Continuous-loop cable design, Part 2 →
Here’s how to generate continuous-loop cable designs.
Cables can cross where 4 entrelac squares meet at their corners.
Any regular polygon can be decomposed into (possibly distorted) squares.
Continuous-loop cable design →
Fleegle has set the challenge: simplify. I tend to make things more and more complicated in knitting, to the point where (to myself anyway) I call it “Stunt Knitting.” Yes, in my mind it’s written…

Not my most symmetrical diagram, but shows an interesting interlacing of “continuous-loop” cables in entrelac. No idea…
