Work in progress.
I have posted mostly about finished objects recently. Looking back, I believe all of my posts this year have included some finish of some sort. Well, not today! With all of those finishes, it stands to reason that I had to start a few things. After I finished the knitting on my Crumb, I got…

Button, button, who’s got the button?
You know, I really hate sewing on buttons. Or at least, I think I do. I put it off for a month on my Populuxe and last week I found myself doing the same thing on my latest cardigan. I finally realized this isn’t going to work, I love cardigans and have plans for a…

A long time coming.
Late last spring, I stopped by the dearest Kemper’s trunk show over at one of my local yarn shops, Knot House Yarns. Kemper is the dyer behind Junkyarn and a super cool human. She helped me pick out yarn for a pattern that I was dying to cast on. I drove home, wound up those…

Sweets and my sweetheart.
I have to tell you, I am having the most lovely spring break with my son. Our trip to Denver was a work weekend for me–and a pretty stressful one, at that–but having Joshua along was the perfect spot of sunshine. We flew out on Friday morning. This was Joshua’s first flight and he reports…

Two out of three ain’t bad.
At the beginning of the week, I set out to try to finish three projects. Well, I’m here to tell you that it didn’t happen. On the bright side though, I finished two, I swatched for a new sweater, and I can knit sleeves on the plane. My first finish of the week was the Audra…

Perhaps a clean slate is in order.
Every once in a while, I am looking for a clean slate. Not necessarily because I’m tired of my projects or don’t like them, but just ready to start something fresh. I’m in one of those moods today. I’ve got a bunch of things on the needles, but I’m trying to focus on a three…

Dressmaking 101
For quite a while, I’ve been itching to try my hand at dressmaking. I made myself a knit dress a few years ago, but that just didn’t click for me. Enter B5748. This is a reprinted vintage dress pattern from the 1960s. I have loved it ever since I realized that most of Andi Satterlund’s…

I don’t know what it is, but I like it.
I have been firmly in the “grey is my favorite color” camp for a million years. But lately, I’ve been thinking about how Astra so easily revises her favorite colors. Orange has been a long-standing fave but that key second favorite spot rotates in and out, I think it’s green right now. So what is…

Populuxe.
Way back before our holiday trip, I swatched a little swatch. I knew that when we got home it would be the new year and I’d be ready for something fresh and new on my needles. So I wound up some yarn and got to it. Once we arrived back home, I wasted no time…

Hello darlin, nice to see you
It’s been a long time… It has been a hot minute hasn’t it? Suffice it to say that I’ve not felt like blogging for several reasons and have no idea how much I’ll feel like it moving forward. But we’re here today, so let’s recap. I have been quite non-prolific over the last few months.…
