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
Time for me to once again share with you about a sweater I made, after wearing it for a month! Photo shoots are weirdly hard to coordinate, or hard to get motivated for, especially when it’s too cold to do them outside. So yesterday, while my dogs looked on at the beautiful sunshine outside… I … More Finishing Party: Fitton’s Dynamo
I have one more finished sweater to share with you from November. This is the first sweater I’ve ever knit from a kit. One year for a birthday or Christmas, I forget which, I asked my mum to get me any colourful kit from KDD, as I’m such a big fan and hadn’t tried their … More Finishing Party – Lilia’s Day
It’s time for another finishing party! I’ve been on a real sweater-knitting streak, but the outdoors is no longer sweater-photography ready. With high temperatures below -20 C, and only a few hours of daylight, it is literally unsafe! With Jared out of town last week, I decided to stop putting it off, and took some … More Finishing Party – Weekender-Metamorphic
The last big finish I’d like to share with you this week is another souvenir of my summer. But it starts earlier, with a book I received for Christmas: Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat by Norah Gaughan. Norah is a master of knitted fabric, and she really went to town in this book using unusual directions … More Finishing Party: Afloat
Hey everyone! I’m here on the blog again, with some very belated posts about some big finishes I’ve had over the last couple of months. I’ve shared about some of these finishes on The Wool Circle, but I still find value in collecting my pictures and thoughts and celebrating these big projects with a post … More Finishing Party: Port Charlotte
Today’s sweater starts with a curiousity about the world of neon. Super-bright colours have been a trend for a while now, and last year my curiousity about these colours reached a high point. During the summer of 2023, when visiting Magpie Yarns with my mom, I treated myself to a copy of Aimee Gilee’s book, … More Wervel
It’s done, it’s done, and it’s time to talk about it! I finished this capstone pullover back in March, actually. I had so much fun knitting it that it was finished in just a couple weeks. But now, I’m about to talk about it on the next episode of the Wool Circle, so I wanted … More Capstone Sweater: Finished
It’s a hazard of blogging that when the time comes to write about something, you might be in a mood that does not at all reflect what you have the task of writing about. For example, right now Casa de Osborn is kind of depressed because Jared is out of town and someone has been … More Puffin
You know, one day, I will finish something and post it on here, and it won’t have a super-long back story. Today is not that day. When I started spinning again, in January of 2017, I got sucked deep into the world of Instagram. Instagram is a world of marketing, and I was particularly sucked … More Solaris Vest
