My mind is surprisingly alive and engaged even though I am knitting about a mile of stockinette on this sweater, or at least 1300 yards. This is the fifth time I’ve worked on a Hannah Fettig sweater in the past year. Crazy, huh? I just think she’s got good...

I have been slow about blogging over the holiday, not because I was so crazy busy knitting last minute gifts, baking, cooking, or traveling to family homes in a whirlwind, but just because it’s good to unplug sometimes. Matt, Zooey, and I had a quiet Christmas...

I think I started this Noro Striped Scarf in 2010. It was lounging in my UFO drawers with about 1/4 left to knit. I just get bored with scarves. I wish I had been better about Raveling all of my projects at the time, or at least keeping track of the ball bands. I have...

I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to announce that I’m published in the latest issue of Knitty! I designed a pair of socks and they accepted it. It’s been a dream of mine to get published in Knitty for awhile now. The socks are called Earlybird. Go...

I guess I just don’t get tired of stockinette, or Hannah Fettig sweaters for that matter. Since binding off the Rocky Coast I cast on some stockinette socks and a Breezy Cardigan . I devoured The Hobbit on my iPad while I knitted a bunch of this. It makes me sad...

I wanted to quickly post an update on my NaKniSweMo Rocky Coast Cardigan. I finished it on December 3rd. Three days past my deadline, but a sweater in 24 days is not bad. The color in that shot is a horrible representation of the beauty of the yarn, but I took it with...

The end is nigh, people! I made the sleeves longer than the pattern called for because I wanted to make sure they went slightly past my wrists as I like to wear them. They’re 18.5 from armpit to cuff, so a full 2 inches more than the pattern called for. It took...

What’s going on with this Rocky Coast Cardigan? It looks like I’m knitting on two different parts at once. Well, I sort of am. Matt, Z, and I were in the car on the way to our first of three Thanksgivings and I was chugging along on the body. I realized I...

Yesterday I received my issue of Make It Yourself by Better Homes and Gardens. They published my Wasabi Cowl in their premiere issue! This has been in the works for awhile, but I didn’t want to post about it until I had a copy in my hands. Check it out:...

I’m not going to panic yet. This is five day’s work shown above. I’m about to enter my day 6 of this challenge, since I didn’t get my yarn until the 10th. I feel like I’ve been moving along fairly well, despite Z’s new short nap...
