Let’s start off this week with a finish, shall we? This is the Mushroom Hat, designed by Lotta Lothgren. I believe it may be available as a standalone pattern now but I have the entire pattern collection, Observations, that it appears in. I used 2 colors of DK-weight merino for mine.

I don’t have much to show this week. A video shoot for work + several hundred miles of driving meant it wasn’t a great week for crafting. Here are the few bits and bobs I did accomplish. Book Club Cardigan: I finished the right front and picked up stitches for the left shoulder seam so

Most of my craft time this week was spent putting the binding on my Birds and Bees quilt. I will have a separate post on that now that it’s finished in a day or two. Otherwise I worked on: Book Club Cardigan: I’m working my way down the back. It’s all just straight “work in

I started this shawl in January 2025 and finished it this week (December 13, 2025). Absolutely no reason on earth why it took me this long because I enjoyed the entire process of creating it.
