Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
I know favoritism is a bad thing; but I have to say that this might be my favorite design for this year. Okay, okay. I have quite a few favorite designs this year—some already published, some close to publication, and some that are scheduled far into the mysterious mists of 2021. But this just might …
As you can tell from the title of this post, Nuit d’etoiles is here! It almost didn’t arrive on time, however; if you want the peaceful country ramble, read on. Pattern and giveaway info are a bit further down, so trot along and follow the subheads if you’d rather not wander around among the dandelions …
What ho! What ho! This project has been a big secret for over a year now; but next week, all will be revealed! My Perpetua Cowl is being published by Stone Wool in their Fall 2020 season; they offer an incredible range of American-made, breed-specific wool yarns in a variety of weights. My design is …

Muntins is here!!! (Pardon me—I’m not actually a screamer in person…) As I mentioned last week, this scarf is part of Knotions September 2020, which is portal-themed; when I saw the issue theme in the submission call, my geeky knuckles began cracking on reflex. I’ve loved windows as long as I can remember; originally I …
Me oh my, am I glad this day has come—now I don’t have to keep this a secret anymore! Meet the Muntins Scarf, part of the September 2020 portal-themed issue of Knotions webzine. As you can see, it features cables and lace, as well as a fun picot edging. It’s a decorative scarf and knit …
Finally we can talk about what this pile of yarn is for! (And why it’s inside a piano…) What It’s All About The notion of a shawl collection inspired by music has been kicking around in my head for at least a year now. Originally the idea was to use general musical terms (obbligato, allegro, …
Next month will mark the first birthday of Sojourn: A Knit Lace Collection by Knit Picks (as well as of my Fenestra Shawl), so a review seemed in order for this week’s post. ‘Ware lace!
