Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
This should have been last week’s post; but life happened, so today I get to introduce you to my Overland shawl! Overland is published by Quince & Co. This design should have come out almost 2 months ago, but ran late due to supply/shipping hiccups with their linen yarns. In the meantime, it’s been really, …
Normally I’m a protein fiber gal, all the way. Sit me in a pile of wool, alpaca, mohair and yak and I’m a happy camper. In fact, I frequently avoid plant fibers because they just…don’t act like wool. The lack of halo, heather, and sproing are all things I typically struggle with when knitting with …
This review should have been posted two months ago; but better late than never. Today I’m reviewing SweetGeorgia CashSilk Lace, the yarn I used in one of my samples for my Á Chloris shawl! Before I begin, full disclosure. This yarn and the next yarn I’ll be reviewing, SweetGeorgia Flaxen Silk DK, have acquired some …
Crocheters, I have a new pattern for you today! I’ve been teasing this design on Instagram over the last few weeks and I’m pretty stoked about releasing it. Please welcome Pyrifolia! Spring is usually a bit touch and go where I live—we’ll hit summer weather in February and then freeze hard in April. This year …
It’s time for the Mélodies KAL! Signups (and lovely yarn pictures!) are beginning to appear and I can’t wait to see what everyone makes.

These last several months have been a whirlwind. Now that Mélodies is out, I’ve had a chance to take a breath, survey, and hopefully reset. I’m a nostalgic and introspective bird by nature; and the culmination of my first capsule collection, a longtime dream, has set me thinking about my knitting journey and my lace …

I’ll be contacting you shortly to get you a free pdf copy of Á Chloris. Thank you so much to everyone who commented and shared their thoughts; your input is always valued. In other news, …
Is it really time to do this? I almost can’t believe it; but here we are. It’s time to release the last pattern from Mélodies: please welcome Á Chloris! Pattern and giveaway information are towards the bottom of the post, as are more details regarding the Mélodies KAL which starts in just a few weeks; …
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 …
