On Sewing: Stashbusting
While I may not have completed Kyle’s knitted birthday present on time, I did sew him something as well which I did manage to get done by his birthday. I had been waiting to share these gifts here until I had everything finished so I could present them tidily in one post, but it is

On Knitting: Sleuthing and Discovery
It’s time to come clean about something. Sometimes my knitting projects can languish – forgotten, unfinished, pining for the day that I see them again out of the corner of my eye and excitedly exclaim “there you are! I’ve been looking for you!” Perhaps if you’ve read any of my previous posts you’re rolling your

On Weaving: Pride and beyond
I’ve spent the past few months working my way through another very long warp on my loom. Two years ago, before I had an Etsy shop, I designed a pride-themed towel and wove enough of them to give to friends and family. I thought it was about time that I revisit the topic of pride

Field of Flowers
There is a certain point in every project where it feels like the finish line is almost in sight, but the amount of work remaining feels insurmountable. It’s that point in a knitting project when you only have a few inches of ribbing left on a sweater, but then remember how many ends you’ll have

On Weaving: Fabric and Memories
I’ve been working my way through the longest warp I have ever put on my loom for the past two months, and it is such a nice feeling to know that the finish line is right around the corner. I started with a warp of about 53 or 54 yards, which should be enough to

On Knitting: Socks, and Chickens
Last I visited here in my little corner of the internet, winter was still well upon us. It’s hard to believe that was almost two months ago now, and I think it’s safe to say that spring has firmly settled in here in Spring Creek. With highs in the low 80s yesterday and today it’s

Hoarfrost
We’ve been graced with a week of warm weather and it has been so refreshing to be able to step outside and feel the warm sun on my face. Everyone around is talking about the first of several “False Springs” that come along each year, and I am fooled each and every time. I know

Am I a Process Knitter Again?
I’ve been wanting to get back to the blog for weeks and here I finally am, well into the new year. I hope everybody had a wonderful end to 2024 and happy holidays. I was more than ready to say good riddance to 2024 and am looking ahead to a brighter 2025. With the presidential

Knitting, Revisited
I told you I would be back with some knitting content! It feels so strange to me to talk about knitting so infrequently because it used to be the only textile craft I did and my entire blog was devoted to just knitting. Now with spinning, sewing, dyeing and weaving added to the mix it

Making It Work
A snow day and a cancelled meeting have blessed me with some time to sit down and write a quick update again. I know I have been absent since we were hit by Helene over two months ago now, but I’m hoping to settle back into some sort of routine and normalcy. This snow is
