It's a (late) review of my visit to Vogue Knitting Live in NYC and the details of a newly-finished knitting project. Plus, a poem by Ellen Bass, sewing another Amy Jumpsuit and giving woolens a refresh in the snow!

Sweater in a Week!

Jan 11 2025 31 mins

You don't necessarily need a sweater's quantity of yarn to knit a sweater. My new Orbital Jumper used up most of my scraps and leftovers. It's cozy, warm and uniquely mine. Plus, what's on my needles now and I finally have a craft room instead of an office with an ironing board in the corner!

Really Good Sweater

Life-changing Loaf

Oct 26 2024 44 mins

It’s a review of my weekend in Rhinebeck for the New York Sheep and Wool Festival and A Woolen Affair. I talk about what I wore, where I shopped, and all the goodness of a fiber festival at peak leaf peeping in New York State. Plus, a life-changing loaf of bread, my clog obsession, and a poem to celebrate the season.

Once and for All

Aug 31 2024 33 mins

Once and for all … I commit M1L and M1R to memory. Two nearly, oh so nearly, finished knitting projects, a new one on the horizon, sewing the Plover Pouch, and a new frontier in education. Plus, a poem featuring allusions to sewing and needlework by Samiya Bashir.
