Beeswax Hat.
Many moons ago, I saw this hat on The Fat Squirrel podcast. I loved it then and have thought about knitting it many times. I purchased this skein of yarn to try out the color, really thinking it wouldn’t work on me even though I like it. Looking at the pattern and the yarn, they…

No Frills Sweater.
It is finished and fuzzy and fantastic! That’s right, my No Frills Sweater is all done. This is the coziest, softest, and warmest thing I own. I can’t wait to wear it this fall and winter. The pattern is No Frills Sweater by Petite Knit. It is knit holding one strand of fingering double with…

Whatever I feel like.
What happened to August? It felt like a whirlwind and here we are, a whole week into September. The kids are back in school and I’m back to cooking in a way that makes me feel good. Something has switched with me this week and I’ve felt motivated to make. Let’s catch up. I finally…

Off the list, one way or another.
Do you ever notice how life just seems to get slowly, inexorably busier all the time? At least that’s how it seems. Somehow, I am making progress on projects. I have crossed some more things off my list–four!–all in the last few days. Last week, I wanted to finish my 4-patch heart mini quilt and…

Sewjo.
I really feel like assessing all of my works in progress has energized me. We are only a few weeks into my #wipwipeout and I’ve completed 6/19 projects. Pretty darned good. I will freely admit that I have tackled many of the easiest and/or quickest to finish. The two quilts that needed binding, a mini…

Yarn chicken.
Yarn chicken is not a game I play often. I had a rousing match with a skein of yarn recently — and lost. I didn’t realize we were even playing until I was almost out of wool. The project that served for the playing field was my Lumen. I recently was quite inspired to pick…

The end of the line.
Welp, I’ve done it. We’ve finally come to the end of my storage space on the blog. Two and a half years of craft blogging really does a number on the old photo uploads. While I figure out what I’m going to do, let’s talk quilts. I came to a bit of a frustration point…

We were on a break.
I am definitely not batting 1000 over here. Sweaters are just not doing me any favors these days. I spent most of last week knitting on the body of my Damejakka Lopa. I knit a solid five inches more and decided to try it on. Womp womp. Too big, again! I know what happened this…

Brought to you by the letter F.
Finishing a project is such a satisfying feeling. Putting the final finishing touches on any make always get’s me a little giddy. Last night, I was feeling a twinge of that excitement as a I bound off the body on my Beauty School. I broke the yarn and hurriedly slipped the sweater over my head.…

Fairfield Shirt
Well, I’ve done it. Completed my absolute proudest sew to date. If you, as I was so recently, did not realize how detail heavy a man’s button up shirt is, then come along with me. I’ve got something to show you. I sewed the Fairfield Shirt by Thread Theory. It’s a beautifully written and drafted…
