A Day in the Life
A day in the life of a pro knitter, well, this pro knitter, is kind of hard to describe. Some days are so busy with no knitting to show for it. Needles can go untouched when there’s behind the scenes work to do. Looking at my desk, I see a capsule of my knitting life. …
Anytime I Want
It appears as if the pocket shawl is now a thing. So, of course, I had to try and make one of my own. OK, I made two. But let me clear, I can stop making this shawl anytime I want. It’s not like I’m obsessed with it. However, I will make five more because …

The Cables I Subscribe To
