Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
The last few weeks have been pretty scatter-brained, even for me! My needles and hooks are going like mad but there are only a few things I can actually show you. So today I bring you a bubble-and-squeak of the things I can. First off, I’ve currently got a testing call running for the Silence …
Some ideas, well, have their own ideas; and my job is just to keep up. If you’re subscribed to my email newsletter, you’ll recall this skein of yarn from Olivia of YarnBaker, one of my favorite small batch dyers. This is her Pimpernel colorway. I love me a good rich, dark red, but it has …
The contents of this post will reveal why my blogging schedule went sideways this week—I’ve been working on a lot of stuff. First up is the SweetGeorgia Mystery Knitalong, which has eaten largish bites of my waking hours over the last few weeks. There’s not actually anything to show for this one yet (mystery…), but …
The linen tee design is progressing apace! And oh, look—it has sleeves now! So far, astonishingly, no fiascoes have broken out. I have had to recalculate armhole and neck numbers (because, erm, I’m new at this), but I’m good to go, and thankfully I haven’t had to rip and reknit anything. While the trend is …
Last week I mentioned that I’m going through the process of creating my first garment design. There are several other announcements in that post (and pretty yarn pictures!); you can read that here. Surprisingly, I haven’t experienced any major disasters yet. Okay, a thing or two may need to be reworked. But overall, I think …
It’s almost time! Á Chloris comes out next week, and since I can’t wait to show it to you, I have more pictures. My testers’ needles are blazing away and some of them are already done; their projects are stunning. They’ve done their shawls in a variety of weights and yarn amounts, so you can …
Á Chloris, the final design in Mélodies comes out in three weeks! It’s hard to believe that Mélodies is almost complete—this collection has been in the works for over a year (and the first design, Le Soir, has been kicking around in my mind since summer of 2018). While I can’t show the whole thing …
The last couple of weeks have been an epic speed-knitting marathon for me, which should mean that I have lots to show today; problem is, I can’t actually show it to you yet. One of the wacky things about working in the knitting industry is that everything is done 9-12 months ahead of time, which …
On the best of days my works-in-progress basket is…largish. I’m a chronic case of what knitters call startitis; the good news is I only have so many circular needles. After a while I start wondering “Where are all the size 4s, anyway?” and am forced to go rummaging. But one of my general craft resolutions …
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 …
