Secret Project Details

It’s been all “hush hush” around neoknits recently and it can be so very very hard to keep a secret. I’m not able to tell you what I’m working on, but to keep things interesting, I’ll be posting some progress pics along the way! Now, to give you a little bit of a background on [...]

Finished and In Progress

Thanks to everyone who left a nice comment about my little fashion industry series. I hope you enjoyed getting a little glimpse of behind the scenes action! I finished my chameleon socks a week or so ago. They were surprisingly really fun to knit. Somehow endless stockinette isn’t so bad when the colors change on [...]

Part IV: A Day In the Life of a Sweater Designer

PS May – Green

View my complete green photoset for May here. Where did April go? I blinked and it was over. I never even got the chance to work on my orange sweater! Hopefully I’ll be able to finish something for May! I have my eye on my chameleon socks and the DB boring raglan. Of course the [...]
