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

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

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

woolful podcast
I’m SO excited to be the guest on this week’s episode of the Woolful podcast! If you’ve never listened to the podcast before, it’s absolutely wonderful (and you’ve got 22 back episodes before mine to listen to). The podcast is the creation of Ashley Yousling, who currently splits her time between a tech job in San… Continue reading

new favorite blogs
Work is slow right now while we’ve been doing a lot of move prep, but I’m slowly chipping away at projects for fall when I can. In the meantime, I’ve added a few new inspiring blogs to my regular blog reader lately, and I thought I’d compile them here in case they’re new-to-you too. Top row,… Continue reading

very shannon’s tops, tanks, and tees KAL
Today is the official start – cast-on day – of Shannon’s annual Tops, Tanks, and Tees KAL. I learned about this KAL last year during the Vasalong, as many folks knitting a Vasa were including it in both KALs. I was pretty stoked to learn about the TTTKAL, as it’s ideal for spring heading into summer,… Continue reading

a vintage norwegian yoke
Perhaps the posts about vintage yokes from Kate or Ella finally got to me, or perhaps it was just the siren song of the bright, bright teal, but I found myself impulse-buying this beautiful Norwegian yoke last weekend when I spotted it on the sidewalk rack of a local vintage shop. While the fit is a bit… let’s say dated, and the sleeves… Continue reading

a move; a shift; a change
I have some rather big news to share today. I’ve been looking forward to sharing it so I’ll get right to it – and for those of you who want to know the hows and whys and buts, you can read on below – but here it is: I’m moving to Norway this August where I’m going back to grad… Continue reading

Hello everyone! Just a quick post today to let you all know there are still a few spots available in my upcoming workshop at Tolt Yarn and Wool, Mittens in May. This is the traditional mittens workshop I taught at the Nordic Knitting Conference last fall, and I’m so excited to be teaching it again. The… Continue reading

the fringe hat-along
Back in February, Karen of Fringe launched the Fringe Hatalong series, and I really enjoyed following everyone’s progress with the first pattern she picked, the Audrey hat from Tolt. I didn’t join in on that round, knowing that there would be more coming in the series, but I’m excited to say that I’m very much looking forward to hat number two.… Continue reading
