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…

Christmas in… whatever.
Last summer, I pulled out an old yarn advent that was languishing in stash and decided to do something with it. The result was a bit of an advent in July project that I really enjoyed. I enjoyed the minis, the colors, and the feeling of satisfaction of using up this beautiful advent from Woolberry…

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 stitch at a time.
I’ll just come out and say it – I’m getting married! We’re tying the knot in May, just a few months away now. Of course, the first question that a lot of folks ask me is whether I’m making anything for the wedding and… of course I am! I am making my dress, a tie…

Revival.
It’s a new year, so how about a new look, a new post, and a new challenge (or two)? My creative mojo is soaring these days, so I thought it would be a great time to refresh and revitalize the blog. I’ve given things a bit of a face lift around here which feels nice.…

Happy, uh, Christmas?
It is the new year and that means new projects, new ideas, and the same old me. Turning over the calendar always gets ideas sparking for me. Part of that is the general sense of new and fresh that surrounds the start of a new year. The other part is returning from our holiday trip.…

Killing me softly.
Socks. I talk of them often. A self proclaimed sock addict, I have a pair on my needles at all times. But lately, I find these oh-so-light-and-portable projects are weighing me down. You may recall at the beginning of the year, I set out to knit two pairs of socks every month. One rainbow and…

Like bees.
We have been a wee bit busy around our household. Typically we don’t do much in September, leaving that time to get back in the swing of things with the new school year. Such has not been the case this September, though! We’ve had friends over to stay and have taken the first of two…
