sometimes when I’m grading for a new pattern, I think to myself “wow I love math. math is always right & is so dependable.” 🤓 other times, I want to break up with math & question everything I ever knew 😂

the fiber is from the nest fiber club & is polwarth and punta wools 🐑 I definitely see more combo spins in my future!

TGIF 🙌 my friday night plans after a rather long work week include finishing onyx storm, knitting on my avenue vest, & baking a focaccia 😌 what are you up to?

I don’t usually do a lot of gift knits (because there’s too many things I want to make for myself & not enough time!) but I’ve been dying to make socks for my husband so he can feel the unexpected joy & comfort of wearing handknit socks 🧶✨

I’m making another Avenue Vest for myself using my handspun! 🧶 this handspun was my first woolen spun & prep — I am head over heels in love with the loftiness!

it’s a special day because it’s the 3rd anniversary of my manhattan hat 🎉 this pattern was the 3rd one I ever published & is one I always turn to. if you have made the manhattan hat, I hope you love & wear it proudly, just as I do 🫶🏼

behold: the book that taught me how to knit when I was 10. I remember getting this at a school book fair & thinking to myself how incredible it would be to know how to knit 🥹

Thank you! It’s sport weight, however many of my test knitters were successful with meeting gauge using fingering weight too 🩷

to keep it real, joining a new platform feels a little scary to me, but it does take me back to when I first created my knitstagram in 2021, when I didn’t have any knitting friends IRL. four years and many wonderful connections later, I am here for the same reasons, and that reason is: community.
