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. : 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.: 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.: socks for doc.
I try to make a few of the Purl Soho Boot Socks for doc each year; he wears them nonstop all winter (and sometimes even into warmer months) and so he’s always in need of new pairs (I don’t darn once they get holes–terrible, I know, but convince me to add this skill to my…

f.o.: western rose pullover.
Can I just wax poetic on how genius designer extraordinaire Thea Colman is? This Western Rose pullover was a dream to knit, start to finish. I’d definitely like to knit it again, and also use it’s general shape for other sweaters, as the fit is bomb (minus the way too long sleeves for my short…

f.o.: birch pullover.
I had a few starts and stops with the color work on my Birch pullover because I didn’t check for errata online since I had a print version of the pattern in a book. It definitely gives me pause about buying any kind of knitting book in the future. And digital patterns are easier anyway–can…

f.o.: birch pullover.
This Birch by Pam Allen was so fast (despite some hiccups with the color work which I will discuss). I’ve been wanting to knit it for years but for some reason never cast on. I had a gift card so I bought the Quince and Co Owl Tweet (soot for the main) and Quince and…

f.o.: norwegian fir sweater.
My colleague and his wife had a baby this fall. I decided I definitely wanted to make them something. I had some leftover Harrisville Designs Shear from the Morchella Cardigan (which believe it or not I’m going to knit another one with lost of ease) and it was a perfect match for a sweet pattern…

f.o. : patterned outfit # many.
I wasn’t lying when I said the pandemic gave me a strong desire to add prints to my wardrobe–and time. Time at home. Time with my sewing machine (much needed). I made a bunch of 100 Acts of Sewing pants no. 1 and shirt no. 2 to get me in the clothes making groove (great…

f.o.: 100 acts of sewing pants and shirt.
The pandemic has accelerated my interest and production of made by me clothing. Let’s just say, I’ve had time. And I decided, even though my wardrobe loves all black all the time, that this pandemic has urged me toward pattern. All the pattern. Patterned top and patterned bottom. Enter this outfit. The patterns are 100…

f.o.: ash pullover.
The Ash Pullover by Pam Allen has been on my list for quite awhile–I can’t remember how long it’s been since I bought the Plain and Simple knitting book but it’s been since then. I decided to use a different yarn than the pattern called for–swapping out the Quince and Co. Owl with The Fibre…
