Happy New Year, pals. Yes, the pattern book is still on the burner, but as you know, we are all just climbing out of the remains of 2020, hoping for a much better 2021. Right now, at least in the United States, the coronavirus is still raging and has taken a good many lives and… Continue reading A New Year, A New Hope

Memories
I woke up this morning really missing my aunt, who passed away suddenly in June. I feel like, when I knit (but only with good yarn), I'm talking to her. I think about my childhood in Oregon and California and how much I miss the Pacific Ocean, the Redwoods, the Cascades, and I remember that… Continue reading Memories
What’s Mine Is Yours: Giveaways of a Sort
A couple of weeks ago, I announced that I'd have a book of patterns coming out this fall. This is very exciting news. Not just for me, but for all the people out there who keep asking me for a pattern to some of the wacky designs I create off the top of my distracted… Continue reading What’s Mine Is Yours: Giveaways of a Sort
Book News
My Dear Readers, my first book of patterns will be out in the fall! Info to come soon.
What would you write here?
There's something so enticing about a clean slate, the option to start anew. Each season is a clean slate for me, a movement towards to the future. But sometimes, I actually stop and notice the present.

What Remains
It's been, I don't know, two months since we all went on lockdown due to Covid-19? I am one of the lucky ones, in that, I can teach college classes from home and I write and crochet within the comfort of my own beloved spaces. I'm an introvert by nature, so this whole staying home… Continue reading What Remains
It’s As Good to Have Half-Finished Projects as It is to Have Half-Finished Books
Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know...Umberto Eco I don't know about you, but I'm one of those knitter/crocheters (and writer/readers, for that matter) who begins a project and gets so freaking inspired by the work of it that I come up… Continue reading It’s As Good to Have Half-Finished Projects as It is to Have Half-Finished Books
Crossover Stitch Table Runner–Free Pattern!
***Correction Made. See the end of pattern*** I just finished this lovely little piece over the weekend. It's relatively easy to create and is based on the Crossover Stitch, which creates an "X" cable into an entire row. Below, I have written the pattern and supplies. Let me know if you have any questions or… Continue reading Crossover Stitch Table Runner–Free Pattern!
The Cozy Shell Sweater
I loved creating this design and I sold three sweaters before I was even finished crocheting the one I was working on. It's an easy shell stitch, and it reminded me of the rich green that comes after a long summer of rain, which we had in Pennsylvania last year. It's a clean, fitted, shape,… Continue reading The Cozy Shell Sweater
