Everyone loves a mystery. I found myself browsing through a collection of antique knitting books on archive.org, and realized that these early collected works were much like a mystery pattern - No pictures, and instructions that required a bit of translation to understand.

Caveat: Chart is complete but instructions are not. (I’m still working on my own knit prototype!). I’m still working out the bugs and very happy to take feedback.

What more could a Whovian ask for during the winter? Mittens with swirling police boxes, some reoccurring villains to chase, and a sonic widget or two!

The husbeast has been angling for some time for some fingerless gloves he can wear while out smoking his pipe.

“Twenty-eight days, six minutes, forty-two hours…twelve seconds. That…is when the world will end.”

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I find that the original “Monkey” sock by Cookie A. is a quick but attractive knit. The only problem is that there isn’t really any male equivalent…and my guy, at least, does not cotton to the whole concept of lace. Holes in his socks usually mean that something is wrong, not right.

A major character from the Warcraft series of video games and novels, Medivh is the last of a long line of magical guardians. He was possessed and corrupted at birth, twisting his brilliant mind to evil while still retaining an aspect of good.
