For the first time, in a vvveeerrryyy long time, I actually achieved what I set out to do this season….I finished 3 lace project, and got to cast on another! Sweet Hanami (above) was truly a labor of love. This pattern sang to me from the day it was published. I love that it’s asymetrical! [...]

This season of resurrection has proven to be incredibly inspiring to me. After a nice long week at the beach, I’ve only got 2 charts left on Hanami. (Yeah me!) I’m considering dyeing it, once it’s off the needles, to a pale gold color. One I might wear more often than white. With the long [...]

Last summer, I finally cast on for Hanami, a project that had been sitting in my queue for a number of years. I had just learned that my step sister was getting married in March, so thought I had plenty of time to finish this and wear it to the wedding. Here we are, more [...]

Aaaahhhh….the Ruby Red Mystique is done. The picture is not so good, but with temps in the 100′s here, it’s a little too hot to go outside and get some creative pictures of it. Later. I actually finished this in just a few days, over the 4th of July weekend. It’s really silly that it [...]

Wow, it’s been a long time. Seems a few sweaters got me a little side tracked. I’m going to use the Summer of Lace to get a few projects off the needles. One scarf, 2 pairs of lace socks, and dear sweet Hanomi! Looking forward to some more lace inspiration

It’s not to say, with all this craziness, that lace knitting has gone anywhere. Quite contrare…..when you look at my Ravelry [...]

It’s definitely an “off” season in these parts. I’ve got projects on the needles, projects in my queue and skeins of yarn wound into workable little balls of fiber fingering goodness. Yet, I can’t seem to get to any of them. Holiday knitting is at it’s height, and with a family of all boys, sadly, [...]

Finally!! Who knew getting this thing published would actually be more work than designing the pattern itself. But, it’s now available here.

When I started knitting 7 years ago, I was all about wanting to design. I’ve had ideas floating around in my head for several years now, and finally decided to bite the the bullet and start drawing/mapping them out. This sock pattern, Hope Grows, is the first, and I am beyond excited with how they [...]
