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
I thought I brought an absurd amount of knitting to do during our summer travels. But it turns out that over the course of several months, I do an absurd amount of knitting! I finished knitting I planned for: the Wervel Sweater, and 3/4 clues of the Goff Mystery Knit-Along (spoiler below); that’s about what … More Socks and Other Summer Knits
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
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
This post was meant to publish on January 2nd! I don’t know why, but this is the second time I had thought I posted it and came back later to find it in my drafts folder. Oh well, better late than never! I’ve been writing through the last several turnings of the year, reflecting and … More Looking Ahead to 2024
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
Happy New Year everyone! It’s the first day of a new year, but I’m not quite done looking back yet. You’ve maybe heard of a “Make 9” – an Instagram grid of 9 projects that you plan to make. I didn’t make one of those last year. But looking backwards instead of forwards, I decided … More Made 9 2023
