amirisu wrap-up
The main pattern work I’ve done alongside working on my PhD has been a series of patterns for Amirisu, all but one of which I’ve shared on the blog already (see my previous posts on Bramble and Blomsterkrans, and Kitchen Stories). My fourth and final pattern for Amirisu was published in issue 24, the spring/summer… Continue reading

queue check: september 2023
Several years back I would occasionally post a “queue check,” an overview of active project WIPs and plans (fully based on the ones Karen Templer of Fringe Association used to post). Now that I’m carving out a little more time for crafting, I’ve started going back to projects that have been on hold for 2-3… Continue reading

kitchen stories (salmer fra kjøkkenet)
I’ve been meaning to share a bit about this design since the autumn 2021 issue of Amirisu came out in November! The issue’s theme is knitwear inspired by films, and I found the process of coming up with a design for this one super interesting, so I thought I’d share both my new design today… Continue reading

new work for amirisu
The previews for issue 22 (spring/summer) of Amirisu magazine went live last week, and I actually have some new work to share! For those unfamiliar with the magazine, Amirisu originally started off as a digital-only knitting magazine, publishing bilingually in English and Japanese (they are a Japanese company). Nowadays they’re a print magazine, publishing each… Continue reading

March and April have definitely brought signs of spring this year. I think this March was milder and less snowier than last year’s, something I’m feeling grateful for. We’re still in that in-between stage, where it sometimes snows, but it’s mild enough now that it never lasts for too long when it does. The daylight… Continue reading

a WIP check-in
Aside from the new patterns I shared recently, it’s been a little while since I’ve actually shared any of my makes with you all. I thought it might be nice to have a little bit of a WIP check-in so I could share the main things I’m working on at the moment. I’m very keen… Continue reading

winter solstice collab with the crimson stitchery
One of the projects I was working on over the fall was a small collection done in collaboration with Anushka of The Crimson Stitchery. I’ve mentioned Anushka and her YouTube channel on this blog a few times before, including when I shared a few favorite video podcasts earlier in 2020. So deciding to do a… Continue reading

FOs: angelou & hazel
I have two finished sweaters to share with you today. First up is my Angelou cardigan, started earlier this year and first appearing on the blog back in April. I actually finished knitting this one in July (I shared it nearly finished here), but it took me a couple of weeks to get around to… Continue reading

FO: vellum
Today I wanted to share my Vellum cardigan. As I mentioned in my previous post, this one was an unplanned knit. I cast on May 1st and was finished by the 9th, so it went rather quickly. It was also a fun project for a lot of reasons. This pattern is from Karie Westermann’s book… Continue reading
