This has been a busy week in crafting! I started a new pullover, Melville (Ravelry link). I like a lot about this pattern. First of all, I love Moby Dick, which it is referencing a lot. I love the colorwork pattern of the waves and the whale (though the pattern shows a baleen whale and… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
OMG – Powdermill is finally done! I started this cardigan 1/1/2023 as a KAL with Alissa of Alissa Makes, so it’s been in the works for a little over 2 years now.

One of the fun things I did late in 2024 was take an online class with Felix Ford on journaling your year. It involves doing a journal wrap up of your year, which could be just a simple listing of all the things you did each month to something a lot more elaborate. I’ve been… Continue reading 2024 Wrap Up

I don’t love that style, so I am doing a very gradual decrease as I go until it gets to a reasonable width, then I’ll… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
Something I have struggled with over time that I think is common to many crafters is stash management. Once your crafting supplies exceeds a certain amount, you kind of need a way to organize them and know how to get to what you have. For a long time I used Ravelry’s stash feature. It is… Continue reading Stash Management
This book is the end product of Kate Davies’ knitting club event for this year – a read along of several of Margery Allingham’s mystery novels accompanied by some lovely knitting patterns. The essays and patterns in this book were released periodically though the club time period. This club was a bit different from what… Continue reading Knitter’s bookshelf: Kate Davies’ Margery Allingham’s Mystery Knits
My Open Weave Wrap is done! The pattern is Open Weave Wrap (Ravelry link), designed by Nancy Marchant of brioche fame. The yarn I used is &Make DK from The Fiber Company. I started in late July and finished at the end of October, so it wasn’t a quick project, but it was a fun… Continue reading Friday FO: Open Weave Wrap is Done!
