Superlite
The Superlite Top and Boxy Superlite Top are live! Find full details on each pattern and purchase each on my Patterns page. Three years ago I embarked on the process of creating my first garment design in multiple sizes. If you’ve been reading a while, you know I have a tendency to re-engineer perfectly good…

Blanket Parade
Hello, readers! Today we’re here to look at blankets. Baby blankets, to be precise, all for fresh new babies that are not mine. The baby parade was announced last winter, and I have worked really hard to be intentional about gift knitting but say baby and I’ll get a blanket on the needles in a…

All the Socks
Welcome back, everyone. I got stuck for a few weeks there trying to make a perfect post instead of just a completed post so here we go. The days are hot, the nights are cold, and my Globe Mallow just won’t quit. This plant brings me so much joy. It’s been all socks, all the…

Baby Surprise Jacket
Hello everyone, I have a new FO for you! This one was started on purpose in the summer, before the semi-accidental house, before the neverending story of repairs and renovation, before Peanut was a toddler of DESTRUCSHUN…wait, no, he’s been that for longer. My point is that I started this project before most of that…

Something Different
As longtime readers know, my tastes in yarn tend towards earthy and autumnal with the occasional gentle pastel or solid red. But a couple years back, I was living in Kansas and my dearly departed LYS got in HEDGEHOG FIBRES. There was a whole group of us who would meet up at the shop and…

Level Up
Hello everyone, remember how I said I was going to knit another Mermaid Crop Top? I really did it! I feel like I leveled up finishing this project: my notes from the first one were comprehensive enough to duplicate with ease, the yarn I chose gave me the intended fabric, and I was even able…

The Millennials Finally Got Me
Hello all, and welcome to real and proper summer in Phoenix. None of those cool mornings and soft nights. This phase of summer is the real deal, where your lip gloss gets weird in your bag and the shadows of lampposts are so stark they look like debris in the road. Today I have for…
