I couldn’t resist making a couple more toys. This little Rag Jackrabbit pattern was on sale before Christmas so I bought it and when I finished the pandas, it seemed like the next natural step in filling the toy making craving I had. I dived into the stash for...

These little pandas were made with a kit from Barrett Wool Co. The pattern is by Susan B. Anderson and it’s lovely to knit! The kit comes with black, cream, and red yarn, as well as some safety eyes. I bought two kits because I assumed each kit would have just a...

Just in case you need to make one more little thing before Christmas, there’s always an ornament. I made quite a few of these in the last week to give away to friends and pair with gifts. My children made off with a few as well. They’re extremely simple...

This sweater has been too long in the making for my liking. It’s an Astragal that I started at the very end of December as a BIPOCMAL2019 project. It involves a lot of purling, so I suppose that could be my excuse, but really I just kept getting distracted by...

I am working on other things, but the second Nightshift Shawl is oh so captivating. For this one I’m using many of the same Spincycle Fibers Dream State colors, but they look completely different. The colors I’m using in order are Melancholia, Salty Dog,...

As soon as the weather starts to get chilly outside a little alarm goes off in my head and it suddenly seems imminent that I must knit all of the warm things for the small people. I cannot explain why this does not occur to me in the summertime, with plenty of time to...

I finished League a couple of weeks ago, but it was not quite cold enough to wear it right away. Since then, it has traveled with me to our first family camping trip and it was perfect for the weather. The hat I’m wearing is a Sweetfern I finished last spring. I...

I started a Still Light Tunic at the end of September. I love this pattern and it’s my third time to make it. This time I decided I would fade some colors together, because, why not?! I have had these skeins of La Bien Aimee since sometime this summer when this...
