Having a very nice at-home long weekend this Labor Day. I had lunch out with a friend and we walked around the Santa Fe art market on Saturday but otherwise I’ve been home enjoying some crafting time. I finished the collar on Dyad and the first sleeve on Asterie but since both of those look…

A little bit of progress on a handful of things this week: I started the cabled collar on the Dyad sample. It’s a fold over collar with cables on both sides so I’ve gotten to the halfway point and have worked the turning row, ready to work the second half. I also put some time…

Has it only been a week? It feels like 10 years have passed. If you read my life update section from last time, you’ll know we were planning to put our house on the market. We live in a fairly remote area with limited housing options and we had signed all the paperwork to list…

It’s been another super busy week, so not a ton of progress on anything. If you’d like the life update, you can read that after the project info! I did manage to finish the body of Asterie and I’m excited to have this to wear (hopefully!) for the fall. Sleeves are left, but this week…

I finished up the Hedgehog Fibres handcarded Corriedale, merino, camel and silk batts with a sportweight 2-ply with 380 yards and 120 g. This really spun up more beautifully than I had imagined. I thought the…

The stories that are familiar will always be our favorites. This was another HRCYED challenge pick for me as it was a 2025 Booktube award winner (top 3). I will be honest and say I probably would not have picked this title up without the nudge of the challenge but I’m so glad I did!…

A couple of finished things for this week and a handful of other in-progress items: I finished my Sailing School Socks, design by Helen Stewart/Curious Handmade. I used Less Traveled Yarn’s 757 Sock in the Prickly Pear colorway. The design isn’t particularly hard – some 1/1 cables and a fake eyelet cable done without a…
