A little of this, a little of that.
Happy Sunday to you! I’ve been crafting up a little storm around here so let’s jump right in! First things first, I finished up this little cutie last weekend. This is the Thimble Basket pattern from the book Rainy Day Sewing by Amy Sinibaldi and Kristyne Czepuryk. The pattern is well written and pretty easy…

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…

Intentional.
intentional (in-ˈtench-nəl) adj. done with intention or on purpose; deliberate. I’ve been thinking about one little word for 2018. A little late to the party, perhaps, but here I am. I’ve been tossing around a few words over the last few weeks. From my new year’s blog post, challenge sprang to mind. But that’s not exactly what I want…

Year of Making: 2017.
On the first day of this year, I decided to commit to one small thing: “put energy into a making project every day.” At first, that meant a conscious decision to sit down with a project every day. Sometimes it meant sleepily knitting a few rows before bed so that I would keep my commitment.…

Nothing to see here.
I am heading out today for a work trip. I’ll be gone until Tuesday–if you’re keeping score, that’s two days before Thanksgiving– and then we’ll leave Wednesday morning to go see family for the holiday. So in the face of a six-day work trip followed by a five-day family road-trip, what did I do last…

A few new things.
With the recent finishing party that’s been happening around here, I had to cast on some new things. Absolutely had to. First thing, I cast on for a new shawl. It’s the next in my wardrobe architect knitting list: the Boho Blush by Andrea Mowry. It looks so big and squishy and cozy and romantic,…

Giant Family Road Trip, phase 1: Tennessee
We’re on a bit of a tour to see friends and family back home. Phase 1 included two destinations in Tennessee. Road trip day 1 was the longest car ride planned of the trip so we switched off driving duties. I knit during my time off: Our, first stop was to see Kevin’s best friends.…

Half way.
Yesterday was the half way point in my year of making. It’s crazy to think I’ve been doing this for a solid six months! I am still really enjoying this project. I have found it easier and easier to be sure to set aside making time each day. Let’s have a bit of a check…

Pack it up, pack it in.
At the end of my last post, I was wondering if I wanted to stay true to my Fairyhill shawl or if I wanted to cast on a million other things. It turns out sort of both and neither. I did not cast on anything new, but I cheated on the Fairyhill a bit anyway.…

Mojo.
I’m in a lovely mood of finishing things and starting new things all over the place. My knitting mojo is raring to go. To start off, I finished my seventh pair of socks for the year. This yarn, BAERfoot sock from Baerenwolle, is the squishiest yarn I’ve ever knit. I felt the same way when I…
