Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
Muntins is back! The Ravelry selling rights have returned to me, so now you can purchase the pattern from my Ravelry store (here) formatted in the style of my self-published patterns. (The original format is still available from Knotions.) To celebrate, I’m having a sale! From now until 7:00 PM EST on Saturday, February 6, …
I freely admit to being grateful for the opportunity to do two yarn reviews in a row over the last few weeks (and to show off other people’s projects!). Between two birthdays in the family, some tricksy design decisions, and lots of ripping and re-knitting, I haven’t had much to share in the way of …
Ludwig would be proud—after a delightful month of games, chatter, and, of course, knitting and crocheting, his Birthday Cowl-Along has come to a close. Prizes were drawn last week and will be shipping out before long; and now it’s time to show off all the amazing projects! ByMelodyGould whipped up the first FO of the …
Thank you everyone for your patience—because here, at last, is my review of Oasis Camel Silk Fingering from Expression Fiber Arts! This review has been on the back burner for almost six weeks now; Clair de Lune came out in early December, but my routine of reviewing the yarn in the next week or two …
It isn’t often that I get to review “personal” yarn; most of my personal projects are made out of old stash, clearance finds, or odds & ends. Come to think of it, this might be the first time I’ve ever done it—which is why I’m so stoked about bringing you this review of Osprey by …
This should have been last week’s post; but I’m late, because this shawl just had to have perfect pictures. This is Shh! by Jennifer Weissman; a fitting way to close out the old year and kick off the new, since I’ve had it in my mental queue since late 2019. I absolutely love it. It …

It’s been a hectic month of crafting, even by my standards. Despite my festive delusions of working on potential Christmas gifts all year long, it just …
Today’s the day! Happy 250th Birthday, Ludwig! Festivities are officially starting now—and because this is such a big day, we’re going to celebrate for the next 5 weeks. We’ll be knitting and crocheting cowls galore: To see all these patterns conveniently grouped together on Ravelry, there’s a bundle here. For discussion and other fun, we’ll …
Goodness, that’s an absurdly long post title; but I have lots of exciting things to share with you today. First of all, please welcome the Helenental Cowl! I’ll be totally honest; this release is a bit last minute. I don’t even have progress photos to show you because I was too busy knitting maniacally to …
The random number generator hath spoken; and the Clair de Lune giveaway winner is… Amy Stromberg! It was a joy to read all the comments on the release day post here, and to get thoughts from all the entrants about what drew them to Clair de Lune; this helps me to know what works, and …
