One of the best knits
Imagine my horror the other night when I showed this to my husband: And he had no idea why I was so excited. Apparently, he never read Calvin and Hobbes as a child. It was my absolute favorite comic growing […]

Queued: Hakusa
There’s a shawl in my future… In the interest of full disclosure, it’s likely Rock Island, and it’s likely going to be done in Schaefer yarn’s Audrey base in this color. But I have a ton of queued/planned projects. I […]
Wool People and more sewing
Brooklyn Tweed just came out with “Wool People 3,” which aims to tackle summer knits in wool. It’s an interesting concept, really, because we see SO MUCH cotton, linen, and flax blends right now. Rayon’s another great choice for lightweight, […]
Queued: Connate
My queue is out of control. And yet, I can’t stop myself: This is Connate, by Norah Gaughan. It’s brand-spanking new and absolutely gorgeous! This sweater is kind of sweetly jackety and pretty, with some structure and cool detailing: I […]
Queued: Abalone
I’m not a big fan of short-sleeved sweaters. I guess I don’t get it. Like vests, it just seems odd to put merino on your torso and leave your extremities open to the elements. If I’m cold in Houston, it’s […]
Queued: Stuff
So I was REALLY hoping to show you photos of Andrew’s finished Brownstone, but I failed super hard… I have mere inches to go on the neck, so I’ll save it for the next non-giveaway post, which will be from […]
So close…
I haven’t forgotten about you! The end of the semester is here in Houston. Finals season is well underway, and I’ve just finished grading my last projects for the class I teach at my alma mater. With all that out […]
Downton FAB-bey
I don’t normally talk about pop culture here, but I definitely have a few favorite knit-friendly shows. It seems, like everyone else, I’ve somehow accumulated an addition Downtown Abbey. For those of you who don’t know, Downton Abbey is a […]
Queued: Fuse
I’m having serious issues with sweaters lately. I see so many I want to knit, and my desire for smaller (easier! faster!) items like socks, shawls, and hats has totally waned. It’s kind of disappointing, actually, because I want to […]
Queued: Summer Flies
I’m going to a wedding on Saturday, and although the weather’s looking to be nice, you can never really predict the coolness in a conditioned space at this time of year. The temperature ping-pongs from 55 to 80 in a […]
