Superlite
The Superlite Top and Boxy Superlite Top are live! Find full details on each pattern and purchase each on my Patterns page.

Blanket Parade
Hello, readers! Today we’re here to look at blankets. Baby blankets, to be precise, all for fresh new babies that are not mine. The baby parade was announced last winter, and I have worked really hard to be intentional about gift knitting but say baby and I’ll get a blanket on the needles in a…

The Sock Drawer
Welcome back everyone! It’s the middle of March and we have some good news and some bad news. Bad news first: after a gentle, cool spring, it is officially shorts weather. My personal rule is no shorts until March and last year I was hard pressed to make it this long. An extra two weeks…

The Yarn Room
Welcome back, everyone! I hope your Valentimes went well. Ours came to a screeching halt when not one but two kids came down with colds and immediately shared them with Mommy and Daddy.
