Eventide has come to an end. I barely made it with the amount of yarn I had. I ended up having to unravel my swatch and I had about 10 rows left of the 4 inch swatch. Phew! I was definitely getting nervous at the end and consoling myself with thoughts that I probably...

My motif work on Eventide is coming to an end! This has been my primary knitting during work and sometimes in the evening and I’m surprised that I’m as far along as I am at this point. I think I started this on July 13th and there are 70 full motifs and 10...

I keep telling myself that this is not going to become a sewing blog, but lately that’s where I’ve felt like putting my crafting energy when I have big chunks of time at home to craft. It’s been so satisfying to jump headfirst into a wider world of...

This is my second, and not my final pair of Arthur pants. I already have a third pair cut in some copper linen. These are made with double gauze from Mood Fabrics. While they are a breezy delight to wear, I did struggle with the flat felled seam with this material. My...

I made a second Washi Dress and I love it even more than the first. This one was made with some medium weight linen from Mood. I couldn’t find this particular color again, but it was called beeswax and it feels like pure sunshine. The first time I made this I...

I am so deeply in love with these Arthur Pants. My friend Morgan and I obsessed over them for about a month before they came out and when they were released last week we were on it. I was unsure about which fabric to use first. Yes, there will be many more pairs of...

I crushed on this Eventide pattern since I got the Autumn Pompom Quartely that included this in 2019. I had some leftover Miss Babs Keira in several colors and this seemed like a great project for the amounts I had left. The grey is Quicksilver, the orange is French...

When I saw this romantic, breezy dress from Sew House Seven I knew I had to make it right away. It’s called Montavilla and it comes in this long dreamy version, a shorter flirty version, and as a fun top. I knew without a doubt I needed a long linen dress with...

I finished a Rift in Louet Gems Fingering in Mint. I made the tee version with the v-neck option for the front neck and a boatneck for the back neck. The yarn I used was lighter weight than the pattern called for, so I went up a few sizes to get the width I wanted....

I finished a third pair of socks for Matt last week and thought I should post about them while they were still fairly fresh. I set an intention to finish more socks for Matt before the fall because he wore out several pairs in the last couple of years and I wanted to...
