These socks sat on my needles for ages because the were always a filler project when I needed something repetitive and meditative to take along different places. The yarn is Vesper Sock in Spring Sonata. I love the pop of colors. The yarn is not so soft, however. This...

Summer seems like it will be on its way out soon (in Arkansas) but in the meantime, I’ve finished my final warm weather sweater. It’s Catchfly made with BC Garn Tussah Tweed in the color Rust Aqua. I used just a little under three skeins for this project....

For those following along on Instagram, there are some make-a-longs going on that involve using patterns and yarns from BIPOC designers and dyers right now. Two of them that I know about are the #myrhinebipocsweater and #bipocmal2019. This sweater has Studio DK yarn...

This has been a quiet background knit for a few weeks. It’s the Ripple Bralette by Jessie Mae Martinson and it’s all over Instagram right now. How could I not cast one on? This project uses less than a single skein of sock yarn. I’m using some Dream...

We had the loveliest full moon the other day. I admired it for several days. It might sound hokey, but I felt so full of energy. I reorganized TONS of things in my house and went crazy putting things in containers and straightening with a frenzy I haven’t felt...

I’ve got a couple of projects waiting to be seamed and have a little collar work done. League is one of them. This is my SSKAL19 project. I have no idea if the deadline has passed or not. That part isn’t really as important to me, but I love a good...

My work on Nightshift continues, mostly at home in the evening (as seems appropriate given its name). As mentioned in my previous post, I’m barely deviating from the specified colors of Spincycle Yarns Dream State, aside from swapping out a maroonish-purple hue...

About a week ago I posted about my finished Tegna sweater, with the sentiment that I was pretty disappointed in the designer for blocking BIPOC women for no reason on Instagram. She has since issued a seemingly sincere apology, which is a great start. I think the jury...

I finished this Tegna a couple of weeks ago and took these pictures last Wednesday. I was ambitious and decided to take pictures of two projects in progress and one finished object (this one), but just as I was getting to this sweater it began to POUR. I decided not...

I feel like this League SSKAL 2019 project is finally well underway after flip-flopping about my colors on the front end. The back is complete and blocked. I’m trying to block pieces as I finish because my blocking board only has room for a back and two sleeves,...
