I’m over the moon for this sweater. It was killing me not to wear it sooner because I love it so much, but I am strict about getting photos before creations leave the house. It makes me so happy to start the week in this sweater, Element by Kirsten Johnstone....

These simple, unobtrusive socks were the aforementioned project that I worked on for several weeks in Matt’s presence without him noticing them. I had teased him a little bit when I asked him if he knew what he was getting for Christmas. He assumed he would get...

I’m not a big fan of Christmas knitting. I like to knit for birthdays or hand off knitted items throughout the year just for fun. Mostly, I don’t like the pressure to finish things by a certain deadline because knitting is my coping skill and I like to use...

It’s election day, United States readers. Please go vote if you haven’t already and you are able. I don’t care who you vote for (well, actually I do but I won’t go there), as long as you get out and vote. Pictured in this sweater, pattern...

I’m working away on a Gathering Stripes for Charlotte. The smallest size is a 2T. She’s quite petite–wearing a 12 month size at 18 months, so I am working this at a slightly smaller gauge (7 sts to the inch) to make up for some of the size...

Happy Halloween, friends! I finished a pair of socks that I started in, ahem, July. Thanks, Ravelry for keeping me accountable! A few years back people focused on knitting a pair in socks and called it Socktober. It seems lately Socktober has come to mean donating...

Rift is hanging out on the blocking board, finally. I started this sweater ALMOST A YEAR AGO. I kept thinking it was last March in my head, but then when I went to Ravelry to look, it shows that I started it at the end of January. Wowza. Slow fashion, indeed. This...
