Better than flowers.
Friday night was date night. I got home and met Kevin before heading back out for supper. As we were heading out, I noticed a big box had arrived. Kevin asked me to bring it in and open it for him while he put his shoes on. I was curious and a bit confused but opened…

A little motivation.
I have felt extraordinarily motivated in my making lately. The plan is–so far–doing an amazing thing. I’m so excited to get to everything that I have planned, I’ve been highly motivated in my knitting. I couldn’t think of anything else until I got this cowl off the needles: This is Slipstream by Maria Montzka. I…

What about the yarn?
I have a yarn stash, it’s true. I’ll be honest, it’s a pretty serious stash. I love it and dig through it often. Sometimes looking for yarn for a particular project, sometimes sock yarn, sometimes just looking and petting. I also purchase yarn from time to time… As I mentioned at the beginning of this…

Color story.
I love color. I don’t think that’s any secret. From my love of rainbow to my fascination with neon, I love it all. This last year, though, I’ve noticed that my color choices have been slowly shifting. Colorful, but much softer. I’ve really felt a strong draw to softer, subtle color. This shift made me…

Speaking of catching up.
It seems like ages since I wrote a regular ol’ blog post. You know the kind, where I just chatter along about the things I’ve been working on? Well buckle up and grab a cup of something hot and tasty, this is going to be a long one. Let’s start with the dresses. I made…

Box O’ Sox.
It’s here. It’s finished. It’s beautiful. Of course, I’m talking about my box of socks. I love the idea of knitting a dozen pair of socks a year and the Box O’ Sox KAL is the perfect motivation. I completed my box last year in October, I think. I didn’t consciously try to finish faster…

Life and socks.
I keep thinking, I should write a blog post soon. And then something else happens and I just don’t write. It’s been nice to take a bit of a break, I’ve been a trifle inactive on social media as well. But I do miss writing and sharing. This blog has really helped me coalesce my…

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.…

Birthday.
This year’s birthday has come and gone, but I’m still riding pretty high on the warm and fuzzies that it brought. For the actual day of my birthday, Kevin and I both took the day off from work. I woke up early and had some knitting time with my coffee, my favorite way to start…
