Today’s the day! Hoa Sen Tee is out in full. There are a lot of top-down circular yokes out there in the world, which gave me a bit of pause as I was formulating this design. I don’t want to design patterns that don’t add anything to the world. You’ll recall from my preorder post …
Stitching Around the World
I think I’ve been bit by the knitalong bug this year! I’ve participated in one and hosted one of my own; I’m prepping for an MKAL next month (more on that soon) and here I am in the middle of another one, this time as one of several designers. The Around-the-World Stitchalong is a month-long …

4 Ways to Wear Noblesse Oblige; or, Make Percy Proud
Today we address a conundrum every shawl knitter must reckon with—people don’t wear shawls anymore.

But hey, just because nobody knits anymore doesn’t mean we shouldn’t totally …
On Virtue
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll have noticed that I am generally opposed to knitting things twice. You’ll also have noticed me doing a lot of that lately. This morning as I hunted around the ol’ studio for projects wherewithal to show you, I realized everything new I’m working on right …
You Knew This Was Coming, Right?
It’s been months since I posted a personal project update, but you didn’t really think I didn’t have any, did you? I did finish something recently—namely my cousin’s Sorrel Mini, which I honest-to-goodness cannot remember if I shared here previously. It’s been mostly finished since the end of March, but needed sleeve surgery since I …
Silence Tee KAL Check-In
It’s almost the two-week mark! How are your Silence Tees coming along? Mine’s still in its baby phase; I haven’t been able to work on it much, since I strained my wrist last week and needed to save my knitting time for work samples. But I can’t wait to get back to it, since the …
Pattern Release—Noblesse Oblige
They seek him here, they seek him there… Noblesse Oblige is out today! And if I do say so myself, this is a fun one. This post is going to be commensurately long, so if you just want to know where you can get this and what the discount code is, skip thou to the …
Pattern Release—Silence Tee
“Music is not in the notes, but in the the silence between.” ~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Silence Tee is out today! I’ve been blathering about it on here nonstop for the past few weeks, so I’ll be brief here. The biggest thing I have to say is how thankful I am to and for every …

We’ll start knitting along the same week and continue merrily into July. And yes, there will be prizes, about which we shall have further to say anon. (Can y’all tell …
