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.: 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. : 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.: skiff hat.
I did finish this Skiff Hat a long while back, but realized I never wore it or even photographed it because it was just a bit too big for my petite head. Enter my partner, the doc, who has a large head. The perfect fit. I loved this pattern. Knit up using two skeins of…

f.o. : newspaper print roku hat.
When you live in New England, you can never own too many hats, right? This is my mantra every fall, as the cooler climes start to head in and I begin to think about updating my knits. Of course, I always make my own hats and scarves. My needles have been no stranger to the…

wip: skiff hat.
I finally cast on (and finished!) the Skiff Hat. I used Brooklyn Tweed Shelter, as the pattern calls for, in the artifact color way. It’s a deep forest green and I love it. Since finishing, I haven’t yet snapped it or worn it because I wonder if it’s too large for my head. Does it…

f.o. | striped hats.
The Striped Hats pattern by Quince and Co. is for sure my favorite pattern this winter. It’s simple, easy to memorize so the project is good for travel or knitting in public, and they knit up in a day or two. Plus, the color combinations are endless and you don’t need large amounts of wool…

finish line | striped tweed.
This sweater was such a fast knit. A modified Tea with Jam and Bread in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter cast iron and fossil. I did a split hem at the bottom and I finished the sleeves last night, so all it needs is a good blocking. Finished snaps soon. What are you making this fall for…

wip | striped.
I decided I wanted to make myself a basic charcoal and white striped sweater. I’ve made a version of the Tea and Jam and Bread sweater before, loved the fit but ultimately gifted it to my mum, and decided I wanted a version for myself. The thing I love about this sweater is it can…

varia brooklyn.
Here’s another shot of me wearing my super high Varia hat, which I knit in various tones of Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. I’m such a Brooklyn Tweed devotee. It’s a problem.

tweed horses.
This is the first wool purchase I have made in a year. The reason I decided to stop buying yarn was because my stash was really large and I had this really lofty goal of saving money and purchasing a home in 2015. And guess what? I didn’t purchase yarn, and I bought my first…
