I don't like weaving in ends ... so I tried to construct the mitts in a way that there are only two ends per mitt. It (sort of) worked.
EDIT: Here's the pattern: http://knitting-and-so-on.blogspot.ch/2013/10/hexagon-mitts-in-two-colours.html

Nori - 海苔
Lovely "Nori" Scarf (Pattern by Carissa Browning, published in Knitty, Summer 2013). The first time I ventured into a serious lace pattern - I'm quite happy how it turned out.
The only modification I made is that I did a p2togtbl where the pattern said ssp.

Hyperbolic Crochet
I love the idea that some fancy mathematical ideas can best be explained with a crocheted piece of fabric - hyperbolic planes. Here's a video that explains the idea, an interview and here the paper.
Plus, it makes a great bathroom sponge/scrubby :-)
How to make it
If you want to crochet such a sponge, it's really easy to do: you only need some leftover cotton yarn and the appropriate crochet hook.
Do a magic ring with 6 single crochet stitches.
After that continue to crochet 2 sc into each single crochet (i.e. doubling the number of stitches every round) ... until it's big enough or you run out of yarn.
Enjoy!

Short Wave Mitts (DK Version)
I knitted this DK version of the Short Wave Mitts to match a cowl I had made earlier - pinching the idea of inversing the colours from another knitter on Ravelry.

Variations on the Hitchhiker Theme
This scarf is based on the Hitchhiker pattern by Martina Behm - with some short row waves added.
To create the waves pattern, I used the technique described in the Mixed Waves Cowl
pattern, i.e. dividing the width of your knitting into sections of the
same length and filling them out with short rows in a random manner. As
the scarf gets wider, it is also necessary to make the sections wider as
you go along - I started with sections of 10 stitches and increasing
them gradually ended up with a width of 20 stitches per section.

Ten-Stitch Bath Rug
I knitted a rug for my new bathroom out of t-shirt yarn. I love how it feels under my feet. The pattern is called "Ten Stitch Blanket" by Frankie Brown.
