Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
I finished two things this month, both involving ombres and the colour blue. First, the cloth. This started as a gift from my mom. For my birthday one year, she put together a “club” of unique spinning experiences for me to open throughout the year. One of them was a Loop batt, which was sort … More A Cool Blue Ombre
This month, Instagram has offered a sort of order to my life that has really helped. Yeah, it’s a little neurotic, a little fictional in the relationship department. But I think, for this season, it has helped. Me Made May Me made may is an Instagram hashtag, a chance for makers to practice wearing the … More May 2023 Round-Up: Me-Made
The accessories parade continues today, as I got on a bit of a tear. There’s something so satisfying about a project that you can start and finish in a couple of days. And there’s something satisfying in an entirely different way about going out in a set of knitted accessories that actually coordinates. I decided … More And Weel Accessorized
I’m really behind on blog posts right now. Our fam is actually in Yellowknife, the capital of Northwest Territories if you didn’t know. It’s a combo work trip/family getaway, and I’m super thankful we’re here. Maybe I’ll get a little writing done during our down time. I finished Weel Riggit over a month ago! This … More Exceeding Weel Riggit
March…. oh my word, March. I esplain. … no, is too much. I sum up. Lots of things happened, many of which will get their own blog post later. But I’ll sum up for you, so you know I’m ok, and that… yeah… a new month is about to start… and I’m alive. Sheesh! Teaching … More March 2023 Round-Up: I Mean, Life
I finished a few really pretty things last week! First I’ll show you the Shakerag Top, by Amy Christoffers. This was a design I had eyed since it came out a few years ago, since before the name of the publication it’s in was changed to “Modern Daily Knitting.” I thought it would be a … More Too Pretty to Wear
I completely forget how many times I have shared this exact picture. Well, now I finally get to share this picture. I did not, in the end, achieve the fine control I was hoping for to get a DK-weight yarn rather than a heavy-fingering. But because I had sampled so much, when it came to … More Superfine Merino is Finished
For the last year, I’ve regaled you with the stories of the handspun socks I’ve been knitting. On Wednesday, I cast off the last pair. Two pairs were for Stringbean and are already in circulation; these eleven are to become my new sock drawer. Mostly, I have discussed the colour handling in the sock yarns … More Socks for Science
The kids were supposed to go back to school on January 3rd. But between heating fluid leaks at the school, extreme cold closures, and professional development day, the elementary school has been open a grand total of 11.5 days this month. Subtract another couple of days for illness, and the fact that I don’t make … More January 2023 Round-Up: Not Much School
As I said in yesterday’s post, the wefts I wound up at the end of 2021 started out as a big hairy audacious goal of weaving through a book. They sat for so long that I don’t care any more about finishing that goal. Now, I just want to get the warps used. So, while … More Finger-Manipulated Weaving Sampler
