Generally I am not a monogamous project knitter. I tend to have multiple projects going on at all times, piles of yarn in assorted states everywhere too. It suits me and my mood, unfortunately it likely drives the rest of the family nuts. I love working on a detailed project but there are times when… Continue reading Piles

A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal
I've decided for the A to Z blogging challenge to take a good hard look at my yarn stash and pattern queue. Thank You in advance to Ravelry! Likely this will surprise no one. In my work for my day job with Stitchcraft Marketing, I am constantly looking at patterns and yarn. Sometimes I am… Continue reading A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal
Finished is What the Fox Says
This fox says Finished! This is the Failynn Fox Cowl from the Velvet Acorn, requested by a cousin in my family. This is the adult size in Lion Brand Thick & Quick Yarn. The Pumpkin Spice, Black and White colorways work quite well as fox colors though at first I was concerned it would be… Continue reading Finished is What the Fox Says
Animals Sprouting
I have been working my tail off to get a moving on a few commissioned knits this week. One is the Sproutlette Dress, a sample knit for MarigoldJen. I am savoring working on this one - the yarn, a merino silk blend, is so lovely both in hand and the depth of the color! The… Continue reading Animals Sprouting
Friday Favorites
I wanted to blog today and keep my general blogging mojo going (even if I didn't blog on Wednesday, sorry Dan!), but I am stumped for how to best photograph my current work-in-progress pile. Plus this week my time has been better spent on getting the knitting done, getting my work done, and not worrying… Continue reading Friday Favorites

In case you haven't heard of Stitch Fix, it is an online service where after you answer a series of… Continue reading Stitch Fix 9
Frozen Ocean Air Scarf
Each time I crochet something I am amazed at how fast the project seems to go from "ball of yarn" to "finished"! On Wednesday I posted that I was going to start a new crochet project, on Wednesday night it was finished. When we woke up on Thursday morning, the snow had already started. By… Continue reading Frozen Ocean Air Scarf
Looking for Color
Do you ever feel desperate for color? Where I live, by the time March rolls around you start to see a few daffodils or snowdrops here and there. It has just been too cold for too long and the piles of snow are not going anywhere fast. Today we were met with another few inches… Continue reading Looking for Color
Music on My Mind
Hello March! It came in like a lion that's for sure - there's another 5 inches of snow outside this morning! Yesterday I did a bit of knitting in public while I was at my daughter's Irish Dance recital. An afternoon of jigs, reels, hornpipe and hard-shoe stomping makes you want to get moving. My… Continue reading Music on My Mind
Baby Presents
I'm excited to share two recently finished items - an elephant and a baby blanket for my cousin who is expecting a baby later this month. This is the third time I have knit the Baby Squared Blanket pattern, and it won't be the last. I absolutely love how the Encore Colorspun works up in… Continue reading Baby Presents
