Knitcation: sweater accomplished.
Well, I did it. I knit a sweater over the weekend. To be fair, it was a long weekend. With Kevin and Astra heading out of town, I took the day off on Friday and crafted myself a wee knitcation. Joshua certainly didn’t mind, he was busy with camp, bike riding, and as many video…

A small subset.
As you may have seen, I’ve been casting on a lot of new things. I don’t tend to work on that many of them actively, so I’ve been making progress on just a few. First up, I finished my Selbu Mittens. I knit them in just over a week, but I was by no means…

Sharing is caring.
About a month ago, I signed up for the most recent round of Fibreshare. If you are unfamiliar, it’s an international swap for fiber-y crafters. Weaving, spinning, crocheting, and you guessed it… knitting. Sign ups opened up back in May after a particularly stressful week and I decided I could use a little extra joy in…

Madewell.
All done. To say that I love it would be an understatement. I’m only sad that it’s 85 F and June rather than 48 F and October. I cannot wait to be oh-so-cozy in this sweet sweater. This is Madewell by Joji Locatelli. This is my fourth make nine finish! The pattern is a dream. This…

Super Secret Socks.
I’ve been knitting a pair of socks under top secret conditions for a month. Why the spy-level stealth? One simple reason. They were for Kevin. Kevin and I hang out most of the time. We’re both introverted and like to do our own thing a good bit of the time, but we like to do…

Go with it.
I’ve sat down to write this post a dozen times over the last few days. I’m feeling a bit scatterbrained with my making and can’t really seem to synthesize all that’s happening into anything coherent. Let’s come at this from a different angle. The current state of affairs, in pictures: Happy making!

Wrapping up.
My knitting drive is at quite the high at the moment. I’m getting a lot of peace and joy out of my knitting, both the process and the products. After my last blog post, I was inspired to get some things finished up. First on the docket was that hat. As I mentioned, I cast…

Stress knitting.
To be honest, I’ve been stressed out lately, and when I’m stressed I tend to knit like a bit of a nutter. Stacy of StressKnits named her podcast and business after her habit of stress-knitting; I definitely know what she’s talking about. There’s a lot going on around here so grab a cup of something…

Windswept.
I am certainly swept away by this shawl. Knitting it was a dream: the rhythm, the texture, the squish. I loved working on it so much that the shawl only spent two weeks on the needles. Now that it’s finished though, the shawl itself is just perfect. This Windswept, a pattern by Molly Klatt of…

Sometime in April.
I believe spring has sprung. The weather is warming up, we spring cleaned the bedrooms, and a delightfully spring-y colored pair of socks has fallen off of my needles. These are my April rainbow socks, pair #4 in my rainbow box o’sox. The yarn is from Kntitterly Things, from the 2017 Rainbow of the Month…
