🧶 I’m almost done with my fall housekeeping!
|
Hey there! How are you!?! I’m feeling invigorated this week! I took last week off for a staycation. After a long, lazy summer, I had some housekeeping to do. Fall is my favorite season, and September through December are my busiest/funnest months of the year. I like to head into this time prepared, so I can really enjoy it. Chris and I spent the week cleaning, hanging art, setting up the bones of my art studio, and getting out Halloween decorations. And we topped it off with a concert! We saw Train and Barenaked Ladies — it was amazing! Here’s some Halloween stuff in my signature decorating style, which I call “I Spy Book.” Because I want you to see something new every time you look! 🤣🤪 I’m not quite ready to share pics of the studio yet. Mainly because it’s covered in boxes of supplies that need to be put in their new homes. I can’t wait to finish setting up, though, because I’m itching to get in there and MAKE STUFF!!! New season, new projects! That got me thinking about your projects, too. I love seeing projects you make from my patterns. And I absolutely ADORE when you customize and make them uniquely yours. (It is one of our superpowers as knitters.) Since I'm getting ready for the season's projects, I thought it would be fun to help you get started on your next project, too! Here’s the plan:
Since I'm all excited for the rest of the year, I'm going to keep this going until the end of December. You can only use each code once, but I'll send you a new one each time you post a new project. Dive into your camera roll now, I'm sure you'll come up with something to share! 🎉

Hello! How have you been!?! I’ve been working on some more knit wall art. I’m so excited to show you some pics today! This is Aries, it’s part of my zodiac series. I’m loving how they’re coming out! Here’s Pisces: You can see how I just let all the strands of working yarn hang. The longest length I use is about 6-8 feet. Sometimes they get pretty tangled if there’s a bunch going at the same time, but it’s rarely bad enough for me to have to pause and untangle. I like it so much more than...
Happy Friday! How was your week? I’ve been getting another travel-friendly knitting project ready. I won’t be bringing my Popcorn Ceiling sweater because it’s too big to pack. I’m on the first sleeve, though. Yay, progress! 🎉 I’m still working on the tank top, but you know it’s impossible to bring only one project on a week long trip! So I started a fingering weight ribbed hat. I’ll write it up and send it to you after I decide how I want to do the decreases. I’m picturing a fingering weight...
Hello and happy Friday! I'm back from my trip and I brought back a knitting mistake to share! 🤣🤪 Only, I was too mad to remember to take a picture when it happened, so I recreated it as best I could for you. You know how every knit in the round pattern warns you to be careful not to twist the stitches? We've all done it at least once and ended up with a mobius strip. But have you ever managed to do it while knitting flat!?! Did you even know it was possible!?! I'm working on a tank top that...
