september bits
September second marked one month in Tromsø for me. It also seems to be a seasonal milestone: in the past week there’s been a noticeable change in the weather, almost like someone’s flipped a switch. The air outside feels fresh and brisk. A few of the eager birches are starting to turn golden yellow, and 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

project prioritization: managing WIPs
With both Jen and Karen writing about handmade wardrobe planning in the last week, I can’t help but find myself thinking about the things I’m wanting/planning to make as well. I have fabric and patterns ready to go for a Deer and Doe Chardon skirt and a Grainline Linden sweatshirt, and the list of sweaters I want to cast on for right now is only getting Continue reading

vasalong: results & the winners!
June 6th marked the last day and deadline for the Vasa KAL, so I gathered all the finished entries over the weekend, and today I randomly drew two winners! First, I drew for the two skeins of Road to China Light: congratulations, Tien! And then I drew for the issue of Extra Curricular: congratulations, Ines! I’ll be Continue reading

vasalong ends this friday!
I can barely believe my eyes, but the calendar’s telling me it’s already June, which means that the Vasalong (the Vasa KAL) ends this Friday! That’s my own unfinished Vasa in Quince & Co. Sparrow pictured above – I’m sitting at around the 75% point, so I’ve got some knitting to do if I’m going Continue reading

WIP wednesday
I’m still totally underwater trying to get everything ready in time for the Paper Tiger F/W 2013 launch (the official release date is 10/29, but I’ll have a sneak peek around the 22nd!), so this post’s short and sweet, but I thought I’d share a photo from yesterday, a WIP. Yesterday was my first day Continue reading

I’m home from Japan and when I have the time, I have many things to share from the incredible trip! Meanwhile, it’s crunch time for me in getting the Paper Tiger Fall/Winter 2013 collection patterns finished and prepped for publication, and the samples ready for a photoshoot! It’s all very exciting but it’s also a Continue reading

faire du vélo
Today’s the first day of the Tour de France, so it feels like the perfect day to share my main WIP of the moment. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I got a bike recently: Since Paper Tiger moved out of the apartment and into a proper workspace, I decided a bike would 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
