night beaching, 8.23
Steven and I have spent a lot of time this summer on the beach at night; particularly under the path of planes headed in and out of Logan at Winthrop Beach, where we snapped this photo of my feet and shadow on Tuesday night. I’ll miss these when the weather turns…

honeycomb twist hat, 8.6
Beautiful knit. Easy to work up, but interesting enough not to create coma burden, I knit up my Honeycomb Twist Hat by Joyce Yu just as the pattern called for, no modifications. More snaps when its actually hat weather.

two recipe project #6, 8.15
Incredible; use beer with some taste, too, so you actually get that beer batter. I used Brew Dog’s Hardcore IPA, which is just as good coated over onions as it is going down the gullet in liquid form. Drink it, cook with it. More from the two recipe project, of course.

church key (peyote stitch), finished 8.7
I finally finished my first peyote stitch bottle opener and I’m fairly pleased with the result so I’ve already begun designing my next one. I’m pretty sure these will make great gifts for all my beer drinking friends come the holidays. You can check out more snaps of the church key over at my beading…

two recipe project #5, fish tacos with spicy slaw.
Didn’t, unfortunately, get snaps of the fish tacos, but they were done on the grill and goddamn delicious, particularly when paired with this made up spicy cabbage slaw on the side, which was filled with jalapenos from the garden. A hit, for sure. I haven’t kept to my goal-unfortunately, its been so hot many days,…

The beyond hilarious, witty, and charming Kiss and Tell: A Romantic Resume Ages 0-22 by Marinaomi. It’s such an expressive graphic memoir; color me completely smitten.

sneak peek linen sweater, 8.7
This summer, I’ve definitely been obsessed with knitting using linen; after spying the Amiga Sweater done in some Louet Wet Spun Euroflax linen, I knew I had to try it. Here’s a sneak peak at my final result. My mum adores it, so it will probably be gifted to her. I’ve already bought two more…

cheese, 8.3
Some pretty incredible French cheese filled with cranberries. Salty and tart all at once.

church key, 8.3
I’ve become obsessed of late with traditional peyote beading around things like pens, wine bottle openers, and the above church key, or er, bottle opener. In the true spirit of our heritage, my sister has been making these things for years, and for some reason my interest was finally peaked. For this particular church key,…
