Shawl of joining.
I’ve been with Kevin almost as long as I’ve been knitting and I’ve known two things since pretty early on:1. I wanted to marry him.2. I wanted to knit a big, fancy wedding shawl. Check, check! We got married on May 10 at Norris Dam State Park in Tennessee. The wedding was everything I hoped…

Two down, more to go
I don’t know what it is, but I love pulling out my advent projects in the summer! Perhaps it’s that I’ve had them in hibernation so long, they feel fresh and new. Perhaps it’s the halfway slump of creativity in the year, and it’s nice to have projects already on the go. Either way, I’m…

Like a snail.
I’ve set my intention for my year of making: to take things slow, not rush through projects, take on some bigger, harder projects that I’ve wanted to try, and generally take my time. Reflecting back on the first half of 2025, while life has been anything but, my making has definitely been slow. I’m trying…

In other news.
I’ve been making my sweet, slow progress on my wedding shawl. That doesn’t stop me from being myself and working on other things. I’ve been in a cast-on kinda mood and I’m here to tell you about it. First of all, I finished my first pair of Christmas socks for my self-imposed sock club. To…

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…

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…
