Sometimes I think my creative life reads a little like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. One thing leads to another. Last week I introduced the new Splashed and Speckled Jane Austen colorways. I realized I should make another semi-solid to go with them, so I made Renaissance Blue. That one isn’t new, but… Read More Two New Colorways
If you were headed to a deserted island and could only bring one author’s complete works, whose would you bring? I think I would choose Tolkien, but if I got two choices, Jane Austen would probably be next. She’d keep up my spirits on that deserted island, especially after I ran out of yarn. Or… Read More Jane Austen Returns
A while back, I decided to weave some tote bags, and it was so much fun that I decided I would share the process with you.

She crocheted it using my Monet’s Water Lilies colorway on Squoosh DK. She actually made two–one for her mom and one for herself–and they… Read More Show and Tell – April 2026
Last week I went on a trip with our two youngest sons to visit our daughter who is a teacher in Arizona. We had a great visit, and the little boys got to go on their first roller coaster! One of my favorite things about knitting is that it means never being bored. While waiting… Read More Playing with Planned Pooling
This week I have some lovely fresh-dyed semi-solid and tonal colorways for spring. Here’s Rose Petals: This was the semi-solid colorway I made to go with the April clubs, and I dyed a couple extras for the shop on Sock Perfection.
