I picked this fun pattern up as a quilt kit from Pastry Shop Quilts on Etsy because I fell in love with the fun fabrics. It’s a pretty basic star pattern with sashing but I think the fabrics elevate it a bit. There’s this fabric with robins and gold flowers and this alternates with a…

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. Design is by Inese Sang who has several other lovely shawl patterns I’d like to make. The pattern is well-written…

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…

I finished up several things this weekend. Sunday a.m. we woke up to rain (which hardly ever happens here and definitely not in November!) and I enjoyed a full hour of knitting with a cup of coffee while I sat and listened to it drum on the roof – heavenly! First on the finish list…

I finished up the second of the Dyad samples I was making for designer Kate Oates. The base design is a worsted weight, surplice-front jacket with long sleeves. It is worked mostly in stockinette with the reverse side showing, and several slip-stitch “seams” at the sides, center back and along the raglan shaping. The jacket…

Although I have had many enjoyable good reads this year, I haven’t had many 5-star ones, so when I was plotting out my nonfiction November titles, I grabbed The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane to add to my TBR, and it did not disappoint. MacFarlane has an amazing knack for writing accessible but lyrical prose,…

Limited things to share this week as I just put my head down and plowed along to finish up Dyad. I’ll have a more detailed FO post on it this week but it is done and blocked! I am also super close to a finish on The Autumn Garden. Just a few more leaves and…
