Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
I’m so excited that I didn’t even bother to come up with an artsy title for this post. As you can see from the on-the-nose announcement I went with instead, the LoveCrafts team has selected Pyrifolia as one of their nominees for their Pattern of the Month competition! I’ve been using LoveCrafts as a Ravelry …
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. This is a super laid-back knitalong, so most of the housekeeping items below are to make the prize draws at the end easier—from the top: Any of the four patterns from …
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 …
On the best of days my works-in-progress basket is…largish. I’m a chronic case of what knitters call startitis; the good news is I only have so many circular needles. After a while I start wondering “Where are all the size 4s, anyway?” and am forced to go rummaging. But one of my general craft resolutions …
This should have been last week’s post; but I’m late, because this shawl just had to have perfect pictures. This is Shh! by Jennifer Weissman; a fitting way to close out the old year and kick off the new, since I’ve had it in my mental queue since late 2019. I absolutely love it. It …
Six weeks just shot by like a bullet train—it’s time to release Clair de Lune! We’re following the usual drill today—pattern & ebook info and giveaway instructions are down at the bottom, so if you want to skip the customary ramble, do so with my blessing. (Though rambles are known for their lovely scenery…) The …
So, I made a lace monster. I will not tell a lie; that’s what it is. I’m clearly a little crazy. But the real question is whether there’s anyone else as crazy as I am that would actually want to make this thing themselves. The answer? Yes. That’s right, I actually did get testers for …
