I’m delighted to say I have finished up my Bloom shawl this week. It’s currently blocking so I’ll do a separate post around it later this week. With that done, here’s what I’m working on currently: I have started back to work on my Book Club Cardigan by Sari Nordlund. I’m using Berocco Blackstone Tweed

Looking for Knit One, Spin Too? You’re in the right place! I took last week off from posting to do a little site update to rebrand and get ready to relaunch my podcast at the end of next week. I think I’ve got the old website URL with an auto redirect, but you may wish

This week I managed to get the colorwork collar on Dyad and do the finishing of the front bands. Still needs the sleeves and a good blocking but the hard stuff is done and I’m hopeful I can cruise along on the sleeves. I also worked on my Book Club cardigan and I’m at the

We’ve been enjoying a few warm sunny days here although we did build the first woodstove fire of the season this weekend which was lovely. Here’s what I worked on this weekend. A very quick start and finish of the Everyday Brew hat by Clare Devine. I have had this pattern in my library for
