looking back at 2018
I’ve been taking some time to look back, as one is wont to do at this time of year. Yesterday was the winter solstice, which means this year has almost drawn to a close. 2018 has been quite a year. I released a lot of patterns this year. I knew I had done more work than 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

lately
There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes for me recently, and I’ll share more about that soon, but in the meantime, here are some things I’ve been up to lately: I started a pair of socks with some of the new Arne & Carlos sock yarn from Regia.

swedish pancakes (pom pom spring 2015)
The preview of the spring 2015 issue of Pom Pom Magazine went up today, and I’m thrilled to have a design in this issue!

It’s a good excuse to get out and go for a walk (especially in the Continue reading

signs of autumn in ballard
When I need a break at work, I like to take walks around the neighborhood (and maybe stop for a donut at the coffee shop up on the hill…), and I’ve been enjoying them more than usual lately. Here are just a few signs of fall from around (and in) the Paper Tiger studio. Continue reading

sunny sample knitting
Instagram photos are a poor excuse for blogging, I know, but on a sunny day like this in Seattle it was too hard not to take my work outside. Fortunately for me, I knocked out a bunch of bookkeeping/business-end work I needed to get done in the morning, so I had a chance to get Continue reading
