It may have been more than ten years since I began knitting the Inspira Cowl with colorful, playful, frustratingly tangly Noro yarn. After a long hibernation, it is BACK and I’m determined to finish. Plus, casting on the Pressed Flowers shawl, continuing work on a hand sewing project, baking, and a poem by Margaret Ray.
It’s a (late) review of my visit to Vogue Knitting Live in NYC and the details of a newly-finished knitting project. Plus, a poem by Ellen Bass, sewing another Amy Jumpsuit and giving woolens a refresh in the snow!
You don’t necessarily need a sweater’s quantity of yarn to knit a sweater. My new Orbital Jumper used up most of my scraps and leftovers. It’s cozy, warm and uniquely mine. Plus, what’s on my needles now and I finally have a craft room instead of an office with an ironing board in the corner!
My recently-finished knit is a REALLY good sweater. So good, I plan to knit another one very soon. This, and all my other project details, plus some boba inspiration for the holiday season are included in this episode.
In this episode, I talk about overcoming obstacles like working colorwork flat by purling back backwards. Plus, more hearty recipes from Six Seasons.
I finished a test knit using Tidal Yarns and some fringe. Plus, new cast ons, fiber-y events, stitching a self-portrait, the return of #powerpantry, and a poem suited to the times by Kay Ryan.
It’s a review of my weekend in Rhinebeck for the New York Sheep and Wool Festival and A Woolen Affair. I talk about what I wore, where I shopped, and all the goodness of a fiber festival at peak leaf peeping in New York State. Plus, a life-changing loaf of bread, my clog obsession, and a poem to celebrate the season.
An update on new sewn and knit garments, teaching and planning for classes, a quilting retreat, and Rhinebeck-bound.
