30/30 Ravelry
30 Day Knitting Challenge Day 30: What’s your name on Ravelry? If you don’t have a Ravelry account, why? Surprise!

29/30 Tips
30 Day Knitting Challenge Day 29: Do you have any tips, or things that you’ve learned from knitting? I have lots and lots of tips, but most of them pertain to specific situations or problems. For example, to cable without a cable needle, it helps to hold your knitting below the live row so…

24/30 Design and Dye
30 Day Knitting Challenge Day 24: Have you ever made your own pattern or dyed your own yarn? How did it turn out? Yes to both. I have several patterns for sale on Ravelry and etsy, which all started with the Owl Honeycomb Blanket. That wasn’t actually my first pattern, just the first one I…

23/30 Fantasy Project
30 Day Knitting Challenge Day 23: If you had the supplies (and patience) for it, what project would you start today? Hands down, another Bohus cardi or two; I especially like The Blue Light and The Forest Darkness. And The Wild Apple. And The Spring. Maybe I should just plan on knitting my way through…

22/30 Un-knitworthy Recipients
30 Day Knitting Challenge Day 22: Have you ever stricken someone off your to-knit-for list because they didn’t appreciate/take care of your last knitted gift to them?
