Surround yourself with the kind of people who find the Oxford comma to be illuminative, beautiful, and necessary.

An old, but very appropriate article, as well as one of the most pointed pieces of journalism I have ever read.

If you feel powerless, you really should channel that energy into community strengthening and support. It can be as simple as searching "(your city)+mutual aid". Start there. The most valuable thing you can give is your time, volunteer for a reputable org and make a difference where you can.

It’s the perfect day to find a secluded cottage in the Scottish Highlands and go off the grid for a few years.

Two years ago I knit this beautiful, and very basic, hat. When I got the Embroidery on Knits book for my birthday, I needed something simple to play with, and that hat was the perfect blank canvas. The flowers are a delightful addition and my first real foray into knitwear embroidery.

I really believe that I should have to opt in to AI. I hate having it forced down my throat.

This is so much fun and I'm obsessed. Thanks to J & J Knits for inspiring me and helping me with my French Knots. I'm so excited to see how it comes out. I'm working on a simple hat I made a couple of years ago and really enjoying the whole process.

I'm at the gym actually working out. It turns out I really like working out and I look forward to my gym mornings. Even if they are too bloody early. It's interesting to be rewriting this part of my story.

A quiet morning moment. May your tea be warm, your knitting be soothing, and your heart strong as you face this day. 🧶

First finish of 2026! This is the Xanthous Hat by Triona Murphy. I knit this in Malabrigo Mecha. It was a fun & interesting knit. I'll be teaching this as a class at Cozy in Eugene later this month.

Let it be known that today is Brinner Day.

Our family will be having breakfast for dinner - pancakes, breakfast sausage, maybe some eggs.

Will you be celebrating Brinner Day?

If you're in the Eugene/Springfield area and what to learn how to knit a cabled hat, this is your chance! I'm teaching this beautiful hat at Cozy at the end of the month. Link to sign up is in the comments.

I really would like to be knitting or sewing today. But instead I have to get my teeth cleaned and go to Costco. These are the things they don't tell you about when you're looking forward to being an adult.

It's my birthday! That message all my patterns on Ravelry are 25% off through Jan. 13th. Even my new Campaign Party Hats pattern!

🧶 Now available on Ravelry and PayHip! The Campaign Party Hat was years in the making. It started as a simple desire to make stocking caps for my family for one Christmas and finally today it has been released into the wild for anyone to enjoy. What colors might you use in this hat?🧶
January 6, 2026 at 5:40 PM
🧶 Coming soon to a PDF near you! 🧶

The Campaign Party Hat was designed to make colorful and unique stocking hats for everyone in your D&D campaign. It's even easy enough to knit during an exciting TTRPG session.

This pattern will be live on Ravelry and PayHip on Tuesday, so mark your calendar.

Introduction post!
My name is Taylor. I design knitting patterns some of the time and I teach at my LYS other times. I live in Oregon with my husband and three amazing children.

I truly believe that knitting should and can welcome everyone. My goal is to live that belief in my classes and designs.

Of course I also had a New Year Cast On. I'm attempting the Wooly Dozen this year: 12 hats by @woollywormhead.bsky.social in 2026. This is the beginning of hat number one and my new journal.

As promised: the final FO of 2025. A beautiful white shawlette. It's a fluffy angora held with a thread of miniscule white sequins. I can't capture the softness, the halo, or the sparkle.
