Welcome to day 7 of the Migraineur book release advent party! The countdown continues – hopefully the next pattern you see will come with an ordering link. Last time, we looked at small clamshells on gloves. Today’s pattern, Toasthead, puts slightly larger clamshells on a hat, inspired by the pillowy top of a good loaf … More Art Deco at a Mid Scale
For day 2 of our month-long Advent-season pattern-reveal party, I have another pattern inspired by ferns. Meet Fernhands, a pair of mittens with mirrored ferns to match Fernhead. In this book, you will find that most of the patterns are parts of a set. Often we knitters will just knit something we love, without bothering … More Ferns on Hands Too
Sock science continues! I haven’t yet finished knitting up Cohort 2, all on a Panda base; 6 pairs done and 2 to go.

Hi, Blog. It’s been a minute since I’ve posted an update about our lives, and it’s been a challenge to find a few minutes to sit down and do so! But it’s time, so I’ll give ‘er a go. Two Weeks in Edmonton Jared and I had work to do in Edmonton, and our work … More June 2025 Round-Up – Things Change in Edmonton
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you’ve had a splendid celebration. Don’t forget that it lasts twelve days! I refuse to take my tree down before Epiphany! I have one more finishing party left for 2024. I’ve been putting off taking pictures of this one, because winter (read: indoor) sweater pictures never turn … More Finishing Party: Handspun Jethro
I went to bed last night and realized, I meant to do a round-up blog! I gotta admit, having multiple avenues to express oneself is awesome, but I’m still learning the rhythm of it. Not all of y’all have subscribed to the Wool Circle, and even though it’s easier and faster in some ways to … More September 2024 Round-up: Oh yeah
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
So for the Spinner’s Book of Yarn Designs book study we’re doing over at Wool n’ Spinning, we’re offering two ways to spin along as we go through the book. You can, of course, go through the book and spin sample by sample. But not everyone is in a sampling place, so we created “Track … More Capstone Sweater: Fiber and Prep
Here it is, already the last day of January! I have been hard at work, but… mostly with stuff I can’t show you. It’s been a massive month of finishing and testing new designs, and working ahead on cool stuff for the Wool Circle. The Wool Circle episodes, if you’re interested, were an initial discussion … More January 2024 Round-Up – Busy with Secrets
