This month I chose the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for the club colorway. Michelangelo painted it between 1508 and 1512, and it is certainly one of the most famous works of Renaissance painting. Can you imagine working for four years on something over your head?! I had the great privilege of singing in The… Read More June’s Club Colorway: The Sistine Chapel Ceiling
I have a new colorway to share with you this week. It’s simply called Tulips, and it was inspired by our visit to the Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan, many years ago. Here is Tulips dyed up on Sock Perfection: Here is a little (unblocked) swatch I knit in stockinette so you can get an… Read More Tulips – A Fresh New Colorway for Spring

It’s such a joy to make something for a beloved baby that will be enjoyed and hopefully passed down for years to come. It’s also great fun to make a complete project in a fraction of the time it takes for… Read More Joy in Miniature – Beautiful Projects for the Babies in Your Life
Beautiful Universe is my most popular colorway, but it’s also the one that takes the most time to dye. For that reason, I don’t have it in the regular dyed to order section of my shop. Right now, though, I finally have enough open space on my dye calendar to be able to dye it… Read More Beautiful Universe Preorder

It’s a 3-ply yarn with 328 yards per 100 gram skein. In terms of softness, I would compare… Read More Introducing Sublime Sport

Butterflies are like flying flowers, and I love them. A few weeks ago, I saw one of the little orange butterflies that flutters about in our backyard all summer long. This one was struggling along the sidewalk, and it looked like it had a hurt wing. It was getting cold out, so I let it… Read More Butterflies in Winter
