fringe hatalong
I was hoping to get this post up last week, but it’s been so busy with the semester start I’m only just getting it up! Those of you who read this blog regularly will know I love the Fringe Hatalong series Karen is running this year, so when she got in touch with me to design pattern Continue reading

velkommen til tromsø
We’ve been in Tromsø for two weeks as of today, and what a whirlwind it’s been. There’s been so much to do and so many new experiences that I’ve barely had time to think, let alone sit down at the computer (let’s not even talk about the state of my email inbox). We’ve been in our Continue reading

a day trip to harrisville, new hampshire
My last week in Seattle went by in a flash. The whirlwind of emotions is difficult to describe, but in some moments, it just hit me. In others, it really didn’t feel like I was leaving at all. I expect that’ll continue to happen for a little while. I left Seattle on Sunday, and I’ve been in Continue reading

FO: simple gathered skirt
The drought continues, and its friend Terrible Heat Wave has come to hang out as well. We’ve been hovering around 85F / 30C lately, and I can’t deny that it has me daydreaming of autumn already. Fortunately, the weather cooled down a bit and we actually had cloud cover for an entire day today, so Continue reading

around the net
I’m super excited about a couple of things popping up on the Internet today. Firstly, the pattern for the next Fringe Hatalong has been posted, and it’s a worsted weight version of Gudrun Johnston’s Hermaness! The original pattern is written for fingering weight, and calls for Brooklyn Tweed Loft; this new version is worsted and calls for Brooklyn Tweed Continue reading

summer days
The longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere is right around the corner (Sunday the 21st, this year). The days have been hot lately, too. The entire west coast is in a drought – not just California, which you’ve probably heard about in the news, but up here in Washington, too. The cherries Continue reading

new hat patterns!
Okay, neither of these is technically brand new anymore, but they are both newly available as individual patterns through my Ravelry store. You might recognize Fjordland, shown at right, which was first published in issue 7 of Pom Pom Quarterly (Winter 2013). I’ve been meaning to release it as an individual pattern ever since the rights reverted, and my Continue reading

some recent FOs
I haven’t shared any knit FOs for a little while, so while I’m working away on projects for fall that I can’t show you just yet, I thought I’d share a few! (I’m using the term “recent” a bit loosely, here, since these stretch back to March, but let’s just roll with it). First up: Continue reading

photographic milestones
I got a new camera!! My very first camera was a 35mm SLR: a Nikon FG-20. It was a hand-me-down from my mom and I loved it. I used to walk around my yard and my neighborhood as a teenager, snapping photos of anything and everything (but rarely people). I remained a faithful Nikon photographer when Continue reading
