I was avoiding this So Faded for a little while. For one thing, I really wanted to finish the gargantuan Dotted Rays, so I did (pictures soon). And secondly, I felt like the colors were off. This IG photo shows my original lineup of colors, working left to right. When...

I’m feeling a little SSS is happening for me. Usually that refers to Second Sock Syndrome, which is a common ailment among sock knitters, but in this case I mean sweater. I’m making a Little Oak for Zooey, which is the exact same color as the one I made...

This project imbues me with joy every time I pick it up. This is color therapy, people. After struggling through a charcoal colored sweater that took me 9 months to birth, I’m really freaking excited to be working with so much vibrant yarn. The pattern is So...

Golden Orchids is a lovely (and free) pattern on Ravelry. I used Cloudborn Fibers Merino Superwash Sock Twist in Autumn Heather and I am delighted by the color. This is a piece that is going to a silent auction and I’m happy to hand it off and get back to the...

Knitting for charities is nothing new. Whether it’s for saving penguins from oil spills or warming up homeless folks or to help prevent shaken baby syndrome, if you want to put your needles (or hook) to work at helping others you can do it. My current project is...

Congratulations to lucky number 17, aka Class5knits on winning the Manos Fino! I’ve sent you a Ravelry message and the yarn will be on its way when I learn your address. I’ve been jumping back and forth between Vasa and this Dotted Rays. Dotted Rays is...

First, apologies for the grainy photos. I did a rush job and these have less detail than I’d like, but I’d rather get this post out than wait for the perfect moments for pictures. This Astonish Top had its rollercoaster moments. First, I couldn’t get...
