Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
I’m a participating designer in the Fasten Off Yarn-Along, together with over a hundred other amazing indie designers—if you’re not a Ravelry user but are looking for a great community of makers to share the holidays with, this makealong is for you! The Fasten Off Yarn-Along is an entirely off-Ravelry holiday crafting event with a …
Apparently, quite a few people knit and crochet to cope with stress. So do I. In fact, when I’m stressed because I have so much knitting and crocheting to do for work, I cast on more knit and crochet projects to cope with it. Yes, that is ironic. It’s also quite factual. As you can …
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 …
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 …
I’ve been needing a fresh crochet stitch dictionary for a while; I’ve been working out of an old Reader’s Digest dictionary, which has a surprising number of useful stitches, since I started designing. Recently I’ve been asked to create some more crochet content, and I’m beginning to feel the limitations of my faithful Reader’s Digest …
Crocheters, I’ve got a new one for you today! After releasing Glimpses of Autumn last year, I knew I wanted to revisit the same bias triangle shape, but with mini-skeins instead of a gradient. Minis give the design more flexibility, since crocheters can make personalized choices regarding how many colors to use, where to change …
I’m back from a brief hiatus with something exciting to show you! After Glimpses of Autumn came out last fall (Ravelry and Payhip links for interested parties), several people asked for a winter version with snowflakes. Originally, Glimpses of Autumn was supposed to be a one-off, but designing it was so much fun that I …
I’m going to make up for missing last week’s Indie Gift-A-Long update with a bumper post today—so buckle in, because this is gonna be a long one! My first finished object of this GAL is Stitch Oasis by CJ Brady (Ravelry link). I’m really thrilled with the way the yarn and pattern worked up together; …
This week’s post was supposed to be Indie Gift-A-Long Week 2. However, I’ve actually made next to no progress on my GAL projects, in part because I’ve been working on this: That’s right, there will be Cluaran Mittens and a Cluaran Hat! As soon as I finished knitting the Cluaran Cowl, I knew I wanted …
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m a participating designer in the 2021 Indie Gift-A-Long! The Indie Gift-A-Long (GAL) is a massive multi-designer make-along that takes place on Ravelry every holiday season. Hundreds of designers’ patterns are eligible for categorized KALs/CALs that are designed to encourage festive gift-making (for loved ones or for yourself…); there are …
