I wonder if anyone could help me with a modular knitting sort of idea?
I already did a "domino square" project a while back, nice little diamond-shaped pieces which you then attach further pieces onto as you go along (by picking up sts along sides of existing blocks). Quite a simple pattern (garter st with 3 sts worked together in the centre).
I was thinking of making a fun, multicoloured shawl in a similar fashion (diamond-shaped tesselating pieces) - does anyone have any recommendations for other modular patch patterns that also produce a diamind shape? (Slightly lacey might be nice).
I could probably make something up as I go along, but I figured that you guys might be able to point me in the right direction.
thanks!

confused- 19:38 Why wouldn't they show the Bart vs. Thanksgiving episodes of The Simpsons on Thanksgiving? #

What to do on Thanksgiving when all your family is on the other side of the country?
Finish the biggest project of your knitting career, of course.

First of all, I just wanted to wish all my American members a very happy Thanksgiving. As a Canadian I celebrated the holiday around a month ago myself and had a lovely holiday. I hope you eat lots of turkey and stuffing (My personal weakness) and spend time with the ones you love. Best wishes also to those of you brave enough to participate in 'Black Friday'. I don't take part in it myself but I hope everyone stays happy and most importantly - safe!

My current Facebook drawing. Hope everyone here in America is having a nice Thanksgiving and, if you're don't happen to be American, a wonderful Thursday.

- 22:02 @plukasik Did you buy a case of the Winter Sampler? #
- 23:27 @plukasik I hope so! I'll take a #CranberryLambic home to make beer bread if you don't want it. #
I got rather ill this month, so I spent a lot of time on the sofa, knitting while I watched television. As with everything I make, there were no patterns involved for any of these (because I can't read them). They were ALL made up as I went along, so any wonkiness can be attributed to that. Image heavy, because I made a bunch of stuff.

I know I sort of beat a dead horse with this week’s batch of comics. I felt like they were a little self-indulgent, but then I remembered that this whole concept of drawing a comic about my life is, in and of itself, the height of self-indulgence, so I just went ahead and indulged.
Much discussion here recently about favorite interchangeable needles. Good info, I enjoyed reading it all and drooling over the pix of mentioned favorites.
But here is my question. What are the pros/cons of interchangeables versus standard? I have some bamboo standard circulars and they are fine except for the occasional need for sandpaper. I like to knit socks and hats. I detest fighting with stiff cables. I need to expand the toolkit and don't know which type to get. What features should I consider?
Thanks!

Hello So if you remember a few days ago I posted here about resizing a pattern, well I followed the advice I was given and I measured the brim today when I finished the hat and it's about 19.5" !! I wont know for sure if it fits it's intended recipient until Tuesday but the size should be right according to all the advice I got.
Anyway now that it's finished I thought I'd show it off and to do so I finally fleshed out my Raverly page! (I used the one project listing to show all the berets I've done with this pattern so there's two identical blue ones but you can tell the most recent by my shorter hair in the pictures! The pink one is the latest)
So come check it out here!
I love this pattern! It's so quick and easy!

My umpteenth umbilical cord hat (with pompom substitute) from the Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook. It's to match the baby booties from the same yarn.
( Another Baby Hat )
It's really easy! One day I'll make a more complex baby hat. But thhis one is instant gratification though. I think it only took an episode of the Amazing Race and The Big Bang Theory.

you are my only hope.
Well, sort of. But I do need some advice.
I have 12 skeins of Lana Grossa "Secondo", five of them purple and the other seven in red, orange, white, blue and teal.
And unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with it. It has a lovely sheen to it, and the colors are very rich, but I have no idea how to use them, especially because the fiber content (cotton/micro fiber/silk) does not lend itself to stranded color work.
Anybody have any ideas? Please? Kids patterns, patterns for small or big items, whatever.
