Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
The 2021 Indie Gift-A-Long is in the home stretch! I’d say it was winding down, if it weren’t for the fact that things are actually moving faster. The deadline approacheth… Then there’s the matter of this yarn—Autumn and Indigo Classic Worsted. I bought seconds and really have now idea why they were listed as such; …
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 …
The 2021 Indie Gift-A-Long is already a week old, and I’ve got projects to share! Even though I’ve loved being a participating designer this year (thank you to everyone who bought a pattern—or patterns!), my absolute favorite part of the GAL are the giant searchable bundles of eligible patterns, and the KAL/CAL threads where we …
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 …
A few months back, Selena from Wool & Pine Designs approached me about preview knitting for Wool & Pine’s new collection for children. In other words, they hit some of their bestselling designs for adults with a shrink ray. Needless to say, I jumped on that bandwagon faster than you could say knit. Now, towards …
You know those annoying film franchises where the producers didn’t know when to stop? Like when a single book turns into a trilogy, or a trilogy turns into a quartet, or every character gets a spin-off movie or tv series until all the plot holes are disguised by a thousand hours of backstory? Apparently I …
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 …
Y’all remember my recently finished Seaglass Tee by Wool & Pine Designs. I won’t regale you again with how much fun it was, or all the attending philosophizing. But I bring it up because that tee brought me an extra-special opportunity… Wool & Pine is a design team of two talented women, Selena and Abbye. …
I’ve finished my Sea Glass Tee by Wool & Pine Designs! This was my impromptu summer memory project; I love it even more than I expected I would. There was more than one “I’m not sure why I thought this was a good idea” moment throughout the process (because neon pink…) but the final result …
