My friend had a baby! So I made the baby (girl) a hat!! It’s Miss Dashwood from Knitty Winter 2004. I can’t handle how well it turned out. Looking through all of the possible baby knits- it made me want some kids myself! Which means that I will no longer be looking at things to [...]

I cook a lot. I mean- quite a lot. I make dinner about 6 out of 7 nights of the week, and it’s usually good. My fiance is very lucky to find someone who likes to cook and is willing to cook for him. He is a horrible cook! He is great at dishes, though. [...]

I know I’ve been pretty MIA lately. I haven’t been doing much that has been blog worthy. Maybe I’ll take a picture of all my boxes tonight to show you. So, on this happy friday I decided to share something that I find adorable.
Sheep Piggy Banks! I couldn’t decide whether to call them Sheepy Banks [...]

This is the swatch I did for Ben’s sweater. Well, this is the correct swatch- all other swatches have been on the wrong needle size. From left to right we have Shepherds Fold, a cable, and Fish Bone. My fishbone is a little different I think, but I like it! I also think I’m going [...]

This is the final knitted Christmas gift: a scarf for my friend, Becca. I’m totally in love with this scarf. I want to knit myself one this very second. It was really fun to knit and I think Becca will really like it!
Here is a better close up of the pattern. It was knit from [...]

Attention: This is a gauge swatch. I have officially begun working on my first sweater!
I am quite excited about this project. When I went to Rhinebeck (which was on Ben’s birthday) I bought him- for his birthday- a bag of yarn. And the promise that the yarn would turn into a sweater was his other [...]
365 pictures of me!

As many people did at the start of the new year, I began a 365 project where I take a portrait of myself for 365 days. I started on the 3rd of January, so my numbers do not coordinate specifically with the days of the year, but I wanted to share my progress so far [...]
New Blog!

Jessie and I are collaborating in a new blog called 419thousand stitches. I’m really excited about it! I’ve been trying to talk her into a shared blog for awhile. It’s about a shared experience of crafting. Because we are no longer living together- we don’t have the visual recognition that we usually do [...]
From the Ground UP

This is my new studio space. FAB! I’m uber excited! I’m also a little nervous because it’s so oddly shaped, I really need to make the most out of what I have. I have been looking for different table/ storage options.
This is what I’ve been thinking:
This is the Vika Manne table from Ikea. It is [...]
