Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
Today we address a conundrum every shawl knitter must reckon with—people don’t wear shawls anymore. Even grandmas don’t wear shawls anymore (despite the fact that you will most certainly get called a grandma if you do), especially frothy lace bonanzas like Noblesse Oblige. But hey, just because nobody knits anymore doesn’t mean we shouldn’t totally …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

It’s happening—a knitalong for Silence Tee! The full pattern releases in one week, next Wednesday; I can’t wait to get this pattern into your libraries! 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 …
Yesterday, a designer friend asked me on Instagram to talk about the design inspiration for Silence Tee. I got excited, since that’s something I love talking about but didn’t necessarily think others would be interested in. This info will be dispensed in smaller chunks on Instagram later, but I thought it would be fun to …
I’m trying something new today—Silence Tee is available for preorder! Silence is a boxy, top-down tee with lace saddle shoulders and a square neckline. It’s graded for an inclusive range, with 12 sizes to fit 32″-74″ bust, and there are lots of ways to customize the fit. If I do say so myself, it’s one …
Sometimes things just…work out grandly. I’ve been working up a design based on the sketch I showed in last week’s post. It’s a half-pi shawl with a variety of lace motifs and slip stitches bordering the different sections. The semi-circle is one of my favorite shawl shapes, but I haven’t designed one since Fenestra (Ravelry …
