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.: 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.: 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. : ardenwald.
I knit this Ardenwald Hat by Jared Flood in Brooklyn Tweed Arbor back this winter for my colleague. I was really pleased with this knit; plenty of interest but easy to memorize the cable pattern and the stitch definition in this fiber is gorgeous. It’s so soft, but keeps nice shape, and looks great on…

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: snoqualmie cardigan.
This sweater is quite the labor of love. I keep picking it up and putting it down, which is why it’s taking me so long (more than 6 months! but I’ve made a bunch of stuff in between). The Snoqualmie has been on my list for quite some time. I know I will cherish this…

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.: galloway hat.
This hat! What a dream to knit. I bought a kit to make it from Brooklyn Tweed because I liked the idea of having just the right amount of yarn for the pattern, but I ended up having some extra of the main color way because I didn’t add a pom pom. This is a…
