I’ve been lax about blog attempts through the holiday. Along with the whirlwind of Christmas I caught a nasty cold and am recovering from that. I should have taken more time off from work, but being self-employed, I feel I should still work some of the days and...

This hat is a Quill, by Andrea Mowry. This is for Zooey’s treasured first grade teacher. Z loves her so much that has a period of time where she wrote, “I love Mrs. Lawson,” on every single worksheet. It seemed like she should have some kind of hand...

I am immeasurably pleased to show off Foldlines. This sweater was a pleasure to knit, and so far it’s also wonderful to wear. I used Kelbourne Woolens Scout in Mint Heather for this project. This color makes my retinas happy. Or my cones and rods. Or whatever...

Oshima the Second has begun. I’m a little further along than these photos, past the ribbing and into the stockinette portion of the arm. Alas, these were taken on a day when there was sun, and if I were to update the picture today it would be too dark and gray...

I actually finished these socks back in July, but you know, it was hot then and I promptly took a picture and forgot all about them. I was trying to update my Ravelry project page the other day and saw that I hadn’t put them there or blogged about them, so here...

How about this endless parade of kid socks? This year I made kid socks for the turning 6 year olds of some of my friend’s kiddos that have birthdays in September and October. I used to knit sweaters and hats for them when they were smaller and the sweaters were...

I’m so excited to share pictures of Marshal. We are deeply in love. I already wore it twice last week since finishing it. It’s a lovey design that’s simple to follow. This color is Embers and the yarn is Brooklyn Tweed Shelter and Loft. I added a few...

Another lovely friend is having a baby soon and I just can’t stop making Pinwheel Blankets out of Tanis’ amazing DK color palettes. They knit up more quickly than the fingering weight versions I used to make and she puts such stunning color combinations...

Ok, ok. I thought I would have something more impressive for 12 years of blogging. Like a design. Or a finished garment. But I have a mostly finished back piece for Foldlines, and that’s all folks. This sweater is a pleasure to knit because the pattern is...
