recent knits

This week I got a custom order for an oatmeal-collored mug cozy with a wooden button. I used some beautiful fisherman’s wool form my stash and I’m so happy with out it turned out! I might add a few to the shop.

the thing about mittens

I’ve been working on a new project these days. My goal was to write a small collection of mitten patterns for the fall, but oh mittens! The thing about mittens, is that I can’t seem to make a pair! I mean I can make mittens. I know how and I have the technical ability, but [...]

recent knits

It’s been damp, foggy and cold today, which is just fine with me. Perfect weather for staying inside with a hot cup of coffee, a sleepy pup, and a brand new knitting project! I just started on a 100% lambs wool cowl in the prettiest burnt orange. I can’t wait to show you! Photos soon! [...]

because spring

Maybe it’s because of all the Spring-like sunshine (even though it’s still freeeeezing outside!) or maybe I’ve had a little more free time, whatever the reason I’ve been pulling out my old paints and canvasses, bright yarn and (figurative) gardening gloves and messing around.

wednesday loves: 3 sets of lovelies

Happy Wednesday! Lots of things are making mine happy: wearing a brand new dress, my side up-do staying in place (thanks to a zillion bobby pins!), sunshine and chocolate covered pretzels. Maybe it’s the sunshine, but I’m feeling extra loving today so I had to work hard to narrow down what I wanted to share [...]

coffee date cozy

Hello! I just wanted to pop in to share a new addition to the shop with you! This is the Coffee Date Cozy. It’s hand knit in pretty chocolate brown yarn and has an adorable row of tiny, pink buttons. I think it’s kind of cute! I found some forgotten bark buttons hiding in my [...]

knitting inspiration

I know we’ve been talking a lot about knitting this week. Maybe it’s the chillier weather that makes a lap full of wool so appealing or maybe it’s just because I’ve been spending my evenings with candles lit, yarn on needles and endless cups of hot chocolate. Whatever the reason, each afternoon I find myself [...]

music monday: music for knitting

Since I did so much knitting, movie watching, coffee drinking, and music listening this weekend, I thought today’s Music Monday should be full of songs for knitting. Last night I made the most random mix of knit-along-music ever!

shop talk

I had such a productive weekend! I got some house projects taken care of but mostly I dug in and got a whole bunch of knitting done. The shop has been getting busy with lots and lots of early holiday orders. So I’ve been working on those and trying hard to get a handful of [...]
