I'm revamping a few hat patterns this week, just in time for fall knitting season. These colourways are also waiting to be revealed, but I can't wait to show y'all what these designs looks like in new colors! 🧶

I'm lucky enough to work with some amazing dyers and woodworking artisans, so I took advantage and created a beautiful new pattern. Once the dyer has revealed the colorway, I will too! 🧶

I've been playing with coffee art lately. I find my attempts may not be exactly on the mark, but they are a good Rorschach test. What do you see?

Joining the knitting soapbox trend. If you can knit, purl, follow well written instructions, and have the desire, you can knit ANYTHING.

Especially important for gauge swatches, IMO. 🧶
Knitting content/controversial opinion: blocking is not synonymous with stretching and pinning. Pinning should be the exception, only for lace shawls made of wool/silk/other animal fibres. Other projects, though: nope. Wash and dry as you will the FO.

I'm seeing a lot of ARTIST threads to help show people's work. Which is great. But it seems those artists only consider painting or drawing to be art. Perhaps they should broaden their definition because a handknit sock is art. This handknit wrap is art.🧶

I'll see your appliances and raise you cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and dust from under the couch. Why must we?
You know, few things make me more irrationally irritated than having to clean my cleaning appliances. The dishwasher filter? The washing machine drum? The vacuum brush? Please. This is balderdash.
