If you’re into knitting and politics you’ve probably already heard of the Pussy Hat Project. This post is quite belated for the marches that happened all over the country and world at the end of January, but I finally finished one of these Pussy Hats for...

I’m mad at this sweater. Sometimes I want to throw it across the room or shove it into a project bag and put off thinking about it for a year. Perhaps I should have ripped it out (for the third time) awhile ago. This is a case where I want the finished object...

I got the opportunity to try out some Regia 6-ply yarn in my very favorite Arne and Carlos colorway, fall night. Recently I got a hole in a pair of Regia socks and contacted their customer service to replace the yarn (since they have that 10 year guarantee listed on...

Zooey’s mini Still Light Tunic is finished! She’s in love with it and that makes me so happy. I’ve made myself Still Light Tunics on two occasions and I love the pattern. It’s a pretty simple top-down raglan style, so I modified it to...

The body of Zooey’s mini Still Light Tunic is finished! She had a few complaints about the “skirt” as I was knitting it, mostly because it doesn’t contain ruffles. I think she will change her mind when she puts it on, and I’ve let her...

Sometimes I’m working on a pattern and just can see all of the ways the pieces will form and fit together. It is this way with Flaum. I don’t want to give away any of the secrets of the pattern, but it starts with the collar and that will be worked with...

I’ve finished another pair of socks. Gasp! Surely not me! I never knit socks! (Insert plenty of sarcasm here). Put “sock” in the search bar on the side and you’ll see what I mean…The pattern is called Staccato Socks and the yarn is...

…she’s going to ask for another one. And then she’s going to want a hat to go with it. And so on. We’ve come full spectrum from Zooey rejecting things I’ve knitted for her to having a running list of things I should knit for her next....

I got the opportunity to try another Knitcrate sock subscription box and this time I received some Buffalo Wool Co. Tracks Sport. The color is Amethyst. This isn’t a yarn I would have sought out for myself. I’ve never knitted socks in a heavier weight than...
