It has only been a few weeks, but it already feels like the winter holidays are so far behind us. Decorations are put away, schedules have returned to normal, and the winter gloom has really settled in here in Spring Creek. On top of that, I was promoted to a new management position at work…

I thought I would keep the momentum going with wrapping up old projects to try to get as much done as possible before the motivation fizzles out. Continuing the trend of my last post, I have another finished sweater to share! This pattern is Timberline, by Jared Flood. I knit most of these sweater pieces…

The holiday season is upon us, and this is the time of year when I take stock of everything I have in the works to try to wrap up a few loose ends before a new year begins. As a general rule, I don’t typically make (knit, sew, weave) gifts for other people during the…

It feels rare that I tell you about a project in one post and then share the finished product in the next without getting sidetracked*, but prepare to be shocked because I have two finished knitting projects to show you today. The first is the sample I was knitting for The Yarnery. This was a…

A sweetness in the air an unmistakable…

When we last encountered our determined crafter, he was three weeks away from attending a wedding for which he had no shirt, no waistcoat, no pants, and no gift. With only seven days to go, will all the details fall into place, or will he be left scrambling at the last minute searching for a…

We are two weeks closer to my friend’s wedding now and while I am making progress on a shirt, I still do not have an outfit to wear. I was able to complete a muslin for my button-up earlier this week which allowed me to confirm the modifications I needed to make to the pattern,…

Is it just me, or does it feel like this summer is flying by in the blink of an eye? I find it hard to believe that August is in just two days, when it feels like yesterday was June. Where has the time gone? While my mind is still fully focused on carefree summer…
