What’s the point of a self-imposed goal if you can’t ignore it now and then? I didn’t finish my spinning goal for February, but I decided, ah chuck it, and opened the special February package on the 28th. I had two helpers this time. They are such little clones! M was very curious but knew … More Club Mom: February Reveal
It’s the season for knitting, sitting, and blowing one’s nose, as this month in review will reveal. I’m actually very thankful that I have not been the sick one this month (aside from a couple of migraines), so I could focus on taking care of my family. But some things did happen, and I’ve been … More February Check-In: Cold Season
At long last, my Draper Cardigan is done! This was an exercise in bringing all my attention and intention to bear to make a sweater that was practical and suits my body shape, while using my stash. I’ve already written about the yarn and Underhill Farm, whence it came. I feel completely validated in my … More Draped in Longwool
When I received the Milarrochy Heids book in the mail, N took one look at the cover and said “I want that hat.” Well, to be honest, I think we all had that reaction. I made my own Breiwick from leftover BT Loft. N tried it on and wanted it for her own, but it … More Bitty Breiwick
As you know, I’ve been talking a lot about Kate Davies recently. I own several of her books and have knitted a couple of her hat patterns. For Christmas, Mum signed me up for Kate’s new club, Knitting Season. Meaning every week, for the past four and the next eight, I’ve been looking forward to … More It’s Definitely Knitting Season

I was trying to wait until my January 51 Yarns samples were all the way finished, meaning blogged, then I had to remember to open it when baby was awake, since the box lives in her room… anyway. I had an extra helper this time. … More Club Mom: January reveal
After posting a pretty intense set of goals at the beginning of the year, I thought I’d let you know how things are going. I’ve tried bullet journaling before with limited success. I had another go this time, making a monthly spread with weekly goals on the left side. Then I made daily lists when … More January Check-In: Shifting Goals
I’ve been thinking about the reasons we have for making things. I finished my kamiik a couple weeks ago. It was a wonderful surprise to be able to finish them so quickly. My ayanguaq let me come over to work on them, and decided I didn’t have to totally redo the soles, which about made … More Kamiik: Mine and Not Mine
Can we talk about this book for a moment? Background: Alice Starmore is a force of knitting. She wrote the literal book on fair isle, and while prior to this I didn’t own any of her books, Mom and I used her Oregon Autumn pattern (published in Vogue Knitting about a decade ago) for the … More Glamourie
