Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
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 …
“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 …
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.

The semi-circle is one of my favorite shawl shapes, but I haven’t designed one since Fenestra (Ravelry …
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 …
Yep, I’m making a lot of them. I’m onto the body of my Prismatic! The colorwork actually stretched me a bit more than I expected; there are a few rounds of 3-color stranding, and quite a few long floats. But I’m quite satisfied with how it came out and can’t wait to block it. This …
Today’s release is a special one. My supervisor at SweetGeorgia Yarns, Tabetha Hedrick, suggested that I create a capstone design to close out my time as a Designer in Residence at SweetGeorgia. She wanted me to push myself, try out some skills I hadn’t used before. Thaw is the result. Thaw is an a-line pullover …
I’m starting to get quite nervous, because this design is working up exactly the way it’s supposed to. I shouldn’t be getting nervous. I should just be really, really excited that for once I’m not having to make any unplanned panic decisions because my gauge is off or I got my lefts and rights confused …
