April 2013

I will publish a pattern in April.

I will publish a pattern in April.

I will publish a pattern in April.

19 minutes to go and here's an almost finished pattern for April. I will update over the next few days (of May) to finish it off and add some extras.

March 2013

This month I'm living dangerously and putting up the cockle shell pattern before I'm completely finished with it. Edits may occur over the next few days.

February 2013

Did you know I have to look up how to spell 'February' every single time I write it down. I am not one of natures natural spellers. This month: Carnations.

January 2013

Here is the pattern that I promised for December. Now that it's nearly halfway through January I thought it would be a bit much to post it under the heading "December". I'll use the proper date this time but then try to add a second pattern this month so it will all work out in the end.

Edit: January pattern added – I'm finally up to date!

Edit 2: A bonus fungi pattern because that last one was fun.

Edit 3: And another.

(Sort of) November 2012

Finally I have a hat like the one in my doodle. The world makes sense again.

October 2012

Here's the pumpkin pattern. Happy Halloween!

September 2012

So I'm attempting to find a link between my cartoon (pirates) and my pattern (apples). How about this: In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean Zombie Ship-Captain Geoffrey Rush wants nothing more than to eat an apple once he turns human ∴ apples are piratey.

August 2012

I'm starting off the month with a bonus fossil pattern that I made last month, but have only just written up. Now I'm adding the blank doll I've been talking about for weeks.

July 2012

Anyone who has been reading the ODDknit home page is probably sick of the word "crinoid" by now, but here it is again anyway. Mwa ha ha ha. Mwa ha haaa...

June 2012

ODDknit is two years old and still going strong!

It would be great if we could claim to be clever. We could say that we used cotton thread in this month's pattern because the 2nd anniversary gift is cotton. That's just not true though, we only just looked it up. Besides it's only America that has this anniversary as cotton, in the UK the 2nd anniversary is paper – cotton was last year.

May 2012

Quick, think of something clever to write about paint... err... err... umm... never mind.

April 2012

Congratulations to Martin and Jenny who were married on Friday! In celebration we have this knitting pattern for a special "throwing bouquet".

March 2012

Due to popular demand we have another flower pattern this month.

February 2012

These juggling hearts were originally designed as a cover for one of those little handwarmer packs. Unfortunatly the shape didn't look as good when it was unevenly stuffed. Maybe one day we'll get around to a new "heart-warmer" design. For the pun if nothing else.

January 2012

A nice simple pattern to start the year - it's not a toy though, these pencils contain a dowel rod to keep them straight.

December 2011

Knitted christmas gifts don't have to be socks or scarves, there are all sorts of toys and decorations that can be made. This month we have a garter stictch pattern for an ancient chinese game...

November 2011

There are loads of fungi out and about at the moment, but the one we've chosen to knit is one we haven't seen. It is the prettiest though.

October 2011

Hello and happy halloween. This month a devil's tail for a quick costume solution!

September 2011

Autumn has arrived and we can start wearing knitted jewellery again. These bracelets can be made with tiny scraps of yarn so they're particularly good for using up leftovers.

August 2011

This month we've been knitting fossils because we wish we were out finding the real thing.

July 2011

As a thank you to everyone who came to the SEOS event here is the most requested pattern - the gerbera daisy. We also had requests for the trilobite and pencil patterns; we'll try to get those up soon.

June 2011

And here's June's pattern, another leaf – enjoy!

April 2011

So Easter is coming up and it's Mother's day this weekend. When your mother collects egg cups (and you knit) that means just one thing - egg cosy time!

May 2011

Part of our new years resolution was to add some more patterns to the existing categories. In that spirit this months pattern is a leaf to go with the conkers in trees and leaves.

April 2011

So Easter is coming up and it's Mother's day this weekend. When your mother collects egg cups (and you knit) that means just one thing - egg cosy time!

(OK so there's only one pattern in the set at the moment, there will soon be more!)

March 2011

Another flower this month, largely because we felt we should start bulking up the existing categories, but also because it's spring!

February 2011

I know, I know, it's been done, but this month we couldn't resist designing our own pattern for knitted roses. Happy Valentines!

January 2011

The 12 days of Christmas may be over, but that's no reason to get rid of all the decorations. This month we have a pattern for some cute baby bunting to drape around the house.

December 2010

This month we have a set of patterns with a Christmas theme.

November 2010

For the last few patterns we've been having fun with spheres. Next time, just to change things up a bit, it might be a rectangle!

September & October 2010

To make up for the lack of patterns in September we're releasing several this month!

August 2010

I really struggled writing up this months pattern, not least in trying to decide what level to give it. In the end I rated it R1 because the actual knitting is really easy, but be warned - the sewing up can get tricky.

July 2010

A nice easy pattern this month, one that can be knitted in the long summer evenings and played with during the day!

June 2010

In the future we are planning to add 1 pattern a month to the site but in order to get us off to a good start here is a nice big batch...
