I don’t know about you, but it always bugs me when I see Christmas decorations for sale in October, Halloween costumes for sale in July, and Cadbury Eggs for sale in January. However, it’s a little different for all of us crafters, isn’t it? We have to plan ahead to actually make things in time… Read More A Trio of Christmas Colorways
I’m super excited to share my new Four Seasons Wrap with you! This has been a long time in coming! It’s a rectangular wrap made with different motifs that go with each season. You may recall the Four Seasons Boomerang Shawl design I published at the beginning of 2026. That one was made for DK-weight… Read More A New Four Seasons Wrap
This week I created three new colorways. Two are Halloween colorways, and one is a new sunset colorway for a place I can only dream of visiting. The first Halloween colorway is called Ghoulish. It’s an assigned pooling colorway with black as the background and dark purple, bright orange, and neon green as the assigned… Read More Three New Colorways with Two for Halloween
Good morning, and happy Labor Day weekend! One of things about being a knitter, crocheter, or weaver is that we have to plan ahead. For me, Labor Day is the annual reminder I need to start thinking about what I want to make for family members for Christmas. It’s also a great opportunity to decide… Read More Why, yes, I am having a Labor Day sale!

I enjoy making lightweight shawls and garments from sock-weight yarn too, but here’s what I love about DK-weight yarn: Right now I have lots of lovely colorways in stock on both my DK-weight yarn bases. Here’s a bit about the… Read More In Praise of DK-Weight Yarn

It’s my goal to bring you joy with every skein of yarn all year long, but Advent calendars are something special. They provide respite in the midst of a very busy season, and this year’s Advent calendar is no exception. When I was about ten, I had a conversation with a family friend who was… Read More 2026 Advent Calendar

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
