One to go.
I’m starting to see the light at the end of the make nine tunnel. I did a fair amount of sewing in late August and early September, and now I’ve got a few new garments to show for it. First up, is the Stasia Tee. I had hoped to make the dress but I just…

The dark side of something.
I’ve told you once and I’ll say it again, I’ve knit a lot of socks. Literally hundreds of socks have come from my needles. I’ve had my share of mess-ups here and there, but it’s usually a straightforward process. Until I pulled out a special skein of yarn way back in January. I decided to…

Hinterland, revised.
It’s been a while since I actually made a dress and it didn’t actually go all that well. A couple of years ago, I made a Hinterland and… Still can’t believe I caught a cicada on my dress in this one, but that’s not really the point here. Bottom line: I’ve only worn this dress…

Sweet summer time.
I have sat down to write this post so many times and just keep getting distracted. This last month has been a bit of a whirlwind with travel all over and not so much making. I’ve got a surprising number WIPs going but I don’t think there are any finished objects to be found here.…

Canopy 2.0
July was a busy month. I knit far more than I wrote, so today’s finished object hasn’t even seen the light of the blog. I’m talking about Canopy, one of my make nine projects for the year. When I was pulling from stash for my make nine, I had originally pulled out lots of potential…

Welcome.
Last week, in the deep dark of a long summer night, a precious human joined our family and we call him Oak. He brought with him my entry into aunt-hood and I can’t really put into words the joy that is in my heart. I was fortunate enough to be able to take some time…

In which I knit some wee socks.
Let’s just get right out and say it – you know it, Kevin knows it, heck even my kids know it! I like to knit socks. I love to knit socks. They are my favorite project among all crafts and my comfort knit. When I found out that my sister-in-law and brother are having a…

Make four.
Buckle up friends, it’s going to be a long one. I’ve not shared my make nine progress so far so that’s what we’re going to talk about today. I’ve completed 4 of my nine projects – 2 sewing and 2 knit – and I’m here to tell you all about them. The first project I…

Summer break.
It’s wild to think July has come around again and the first half of 2023 is done. I’m on break from work for a few days so I think it’s a great time to do a bit of recap. I’ve finished a few things, started something fun and fuzzy, and made some progress on my…

The most wonderful time of the year.
Happy May, y’all! Spring has sprung for real around here. I’m finally planting my back porch containers planted and I’ve been enjoying beautiful evening walks after work. May is one of (and might just be) my favorite months. The weather here in Maryland is perfect, everything is in bloom, and of course the month culminates…
