• A B O U TThis is a blog about everything and anything Jenna is crafting, cooking, eating, reading, or generally obsessing over, here in the Boston area. When not cataloging her make with hands endeavors here, she is a technology instruction librarian at a school by day, helping educators deploy meaningful technology and Web 2.0 tools in the classroom to better engage students. When not playing with geeky computers, she teaches fiber arts/knitting classes, and is grateful her school finds handiwork a valuable educational experience. What’s more, she’s able to use various Web 2.0 tools in her knitting classes to merge a traditional mode of making with a new, innovative form of creativity on the web. Her interests include graphic novels (books of any order, for that matter), any and all works by Adrian Tomine, Drawn & Quarterly, wedges of pungent cheese, pints of beer, felted squiddles, anything spiraled ham, black coffee and hot whiskey, librarians who wear cat eye glasses, 50s inspired housecoats, self striping sock yarn, journalists, writers amok, punk monkeys, music music music (please nod over to her first love, Pulp and Circumstance where she talks all things instrumental), the bump (yes, the dance).

    w.i.p.: the balan cardigan.

    Please help me find the inspiration and brain space to pick up the amazing Balan Cardigan by Emily Greene that I started last spring. This was before we decided to sell our small place in Boston and move to a gorgeous, 1940s house with so much more room to roam–and a bunch of projects to […]

    f.o. : sunshine sweater.

    This Sunshine Pullover by TinCan Knits was a dream–I splurged on my first skeins from Rainbow Heirloom and I’m so pleased because the yarn is absolutely incredible. Vivid, striking! I got a few mini skeins, as well, to use on a hat or small accessories later. The Sunshine was made for my youngest nephew, who […]

    f.o.: sheep camp sweater.

    This is Sheep Camp Sweater by Jennifer Berg. It’s a really fun one to knit–my only modification was to make it a full length sweater with full length sleeves (hello winter, New England!). I used Brown Sheep Prairie Spun DK for this one, which I haven’t previously knit with before and I have to say, […]

    f.o.: stria cardigan.

    I thought knitting the Stria Cardigan by Andrea Mowry would be so tedious, given all that fisherman rib and ends to weave in. But surprisingly, this was right sweater at the right time. It just flew off my needles and I had a ton of time over my winter break to sink my teeth in […]

    in progress: stria cardigan.

    This is the Stria Cardigan by Andrea Mowry nearing the finish line. A very satisfying knit with plenty of ends to weave in (!), it’s been nothing but a pleasure and a stretch to my color comfort zone. But, I’m in love. I couldn’t get the yarn originally intended for this pattern because some of […]

    f.o. : my favorite cardigan.

    This is the My Favorite Cardigan by Ozetta: Hailey Smedley and I’m totally in love. It’s perfectly lofty and oversized and it feels like you are being hugged tightly every time you wear it. It’s probably, to date, my most worn handknit, and I just completed it this winter. Dream knit, for sure. It also […]

    f.o.: bellows cardigan.

    I’ve been dreaming of a Bellows cardigan by Michele Wang for as long as the pattern has been out. I’ve looked at others–I started one, at one point, using a substitute yarn before quickly realizing, as always, the designer chose a specific fiber for that design for a reason. And so I frogged. 2021 was […]

    f.o. : hanko

    It’s been awhile, but I promise I’ve been making things–maybe more so now than in all of 2020 and 2021, combined. I’ve had so much more headspace for my own personal creativity and for knitting in the margins. And with that, I’ve completed a number of garments–all of which, mostly, I haven’t worn much after […]

    f.o. : grettir.

    I’ve been wanting to knit a Grettir pullover by Jared Flood since the pattern was released in 2013! And 2021 was apparently the year–even though I purchased the yarn for it in 2019. Here we are. A completed Grettir with the rolled collar option; I also chose to do the shaped version but with no […]

    f.o. : northgate tweed pullover.

    My mum commissioned me to make a baby sweater for her this summer, to gift to a friend. I decided the Northgate Tweed Pullover by OGE Knitwear would be a perfect option–a bit of color work and an adorable shawl collar to give me a bit of interest when knitting. I was able to use […]

    f.o.: osprey pullover.

    For some reason, this was a slow knit for me. I started it last spring and didn’t finish it until early fall. It sat for long stretches. The brioche is beautiful, but slow to knit. But, I love it. Osprey by Jacqueline Cieslak is a nice wardrobe staple pullover knit up in DK yarn. I […]

    f.o. : arnica.

    It’s been quite awhile since I finished this gorgeous Arnica baby cardigan by Orlane Sucche for a colleague having a baby in the summer. I decided to root around my stash to find similar colors to the original sample because that yellow/peach combo really struck me and I couldn’t get it out of my brain. […]
