Summer has gone and fall has come. It's finally sweater weather and I couldn't be more happy about it! First up in July, I finished a top (that I started in May), because I finally found a pattern that I could use this yarn for! And I used EVERY. LAST. BIT.

Hat Binge!
2016 seems to be the year of the hat for me. Hats are straight forward. They are quick to make (relatively), they are very portable, and satisfying. They are great for single skeins of yarn (which we all have too many of) and can be very soothing. The year of hats started with a hat… Continue reading Hat Binge!
Hot off the Presses!
As I finally got around to sharing the story of my nephew's blanket with you, the next step was to edit & post the patterns for the afghan squares. As I was puppy-sitting our limping husky Sunday morning, I decided this was as good a time as any. So I got some tea, sat down… Continue reading Hot off the Presses!

Oy… the Ennui or Block your lace, people!
Life has been a challenge these last few months. The biggest thing looming over us right now is that we have decided to move out of our leased townhouse and look elsewhere for a residence. The management company here just isn't holding up their end of the deal. And despite diligently looking for a suitable… Continue reading Oy… the Ennui or Block your lace, people!
FO Friday – Mixed Bag of Delicious
After what seems like forever, I have some FOs to share! First up, I knit a wee Flax sweater from Tin Can Knits' The Simple Collection. This is made from Malabrigo Rios in the Azules colorway.
