I finished Livie, by Tamy Gore a couple of weeks ago. I made it out of the exact yarn specified in the pattern—even the suggested colors—which I rarely do. The yarn is Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn in Seed and Rusty Nail. After scouring through the available combinations...

Hello from the social distancing palace, aka my 900 square foot house with four humans, two cats, and thankfully, lots of yarn. It’s hard not to feel on top of each other during rainy days like today, but all in all, I think we are doing better than I expected....

I finished these New Pants in Town a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve had some weather that supports wearing them until the last few days. AThese pics were taken very quickly on a cold, cold day, so I do not have picture from every feasible angle for this knit because I...

I’ve dreamed of knitted pants in the past and they will soon be a reality. The pattern is called New Pants in Town and I’m making them out of some Juniper Moon Farms Herriot Fine in Aquarium. The yarn is alpaca and a little nylon and is blissfully soft. I’m making...

It’s been a struggle to blog lately. It hasn’t been on the forefront of my mind due to political chaos, mass panic in the news, an increase in the local collective struggles, and seasonal woes from many, many grey days. However, from previous bouts of seasonal woes,...

I made this sweater about 3 years ago and I truly did not love it. I wanted to. I made it out of stash yarn at the time and held two strands of fingering weight together to get the gauge. I think my gauge was off, knitting with two strands of slippery superwash...
