I started another project, though it did come on the tail of finishing Astonish Top (pictures soon), so at least I didn’t just add to the ever-growing list of UFOs hanging around my house. This is a Vasa, which might be the simplest top I will have knitted to...

I’m no stranger to buying yarn to enhance my stash and store for future projects. Recently it came to my attention that my under-the-bed storage system is getting overly full. Thus, it seems time to make a giant shawl. I was recently admiring some posts about...

As mentioned previously, I adore my first Aperture shawl. It continues to be my go-to for taking to my office while I avoid shivering under the air conditioning vent. I knew I would probably make another, but didn’t think it would happen so soon. When packing...

Sometimes you finish a knit and it’s just disappointing. That’s how I feel about Over the Top Top. Don’t get me wrong, it’s adorable in the sample photos, and perhaps could be with some alterations, but the moment I tried it on I had a feeling...

I have finished objects to share, and haven’t been able to keep up with the official posed, taken by my SLR camera, and processed in Lightroom photographs I usually aim for. Instead, I went on a little vacation and with Matt’s help I took a bunch of...

When I was seeking out summer tops I fell in love with a few and bundled them in my Ravelry favorites. I was attracted to Astonish Top because it’s made from linen and cotton (it’s freaking hot in Arkansas), and also has a relaxed and breezy look. It also...

I’m back at working on Aperture Shawl after a break to solely focus on Over the Top Top. While Over the Top Top (what a mouthful) is blocking, Aperture Shawl has moved back into my field of attention. I really enjoy working on this and can’t wait to see...

My backup yarn is in place. In my last post I discussed worries about not having enough yarn for my project and ordering a solid version of the color I’m using (Dream in Color Smooshy in the kettle dyed Melon Bomb). As shown, the Melon Bomb I ordered is not the...

I’m in love with this color. The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy and this color is Melon Bomb. My first garment for Zooey was made with this colorway in the Starry DIC base, back when it had actual strands of silver in the yarn. I’ve loved the color since....
