Today’s finished object starts with SpinDecember, a Wool n’ Spinning spin-along hosted by our own Dionne. Dionne began a practice of saving little bits of her spins throughout the year, and making them into a combo spin in December as a way of reflecting on her year. Well, I didn’t have a collection of intentionally … More Handspun Waves
Happy March, everybody! Wait… It’s March Twenty-Fourth? I cannot even deal with that. I was so braced for March this year – for the bitter cold, the disappointment, the inevitable not-spring-ness of March. But it’s like March knew I was bracing myself, and doubled down with February weather all the way through. I tried to … More Feb-March 2026 Media Round-Up
Do you have any hobbies you’ve gotten into purely because you love someone? Well, that’s me and bento box lunches. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always thought they were cool, but if I had no other motivation I could not be less bothered. But I do love food, and I do love my children – … More Winter Lunches
These reflective posts at or near the end of the month can help me notice when the character of life changes dramatically from one period of time to another. Last month, in January, I was enjoying the depths of winter in one of my favourite ways: by holing up and crafting and consuming as much … More February 2026 Round Up
I’m trying something a little different this month. Rather than my usual making round-up at the end of the month, I thought I’d share a bit about what I’m reading, watching, and listening to. January is a relatively non-busy month when I have lots of time to craft and consume various types of media. But … More January 2026 Media Round-Up
I have a sweater finish to share with you! This is the Big Easy Gansey from Knitting Ganseys by Beth Brown-Reinsel. I knit it in Donegal Yarns’ “Irish Heather” 3-ply yarn, an aran weight, in colour 8093. It took almost exactly 75% of the kilo that I bought. This sweater was just the right amount … More Big Easy Gansey
Are you making WAVES yet? Our little knit-along for Migraineur is slowly picking up steam, and a few of you lovelies are messaging me or posting in the Ravelry group about your plans and starts. Of course, you don’t have to knit Waves, that’s just what I’m making! As for me, I’ve finished the main … More Making WAVES: Yarn and Cast-On
Tuesday was a very special day. Not only did my husband come home after a 9-day trip, but he brought with him a special box. A box I could have had a little sooner, but delayed so that husband could bring it back as one of his “bags” on this trip, saving me a portion … More Behind the Book: Why Amazon?
Happy Weekending, everyone! It’s an exciting time: early orders of Migraineur have arrived in knitters’ hands, the KAL in my Ravelry group is slowly building steam, and we even have our first FO! (Well done Maria!) In a few days, I should finally have my author copies in hand too. I finished the handspun main … More Behind the Book: Milarrochy Tweed Yarn
Good day, lovelies around the world. I am the sort of person who will watch all the extras on any DVD I own. Don’t ask me how many times I’ve watched every featurette about Lord of the Rings. So it seems fitting that I give you some behind the scenes low-down on the making of … More Behind the Book: Photos on the Land
