Sweater in a Week!

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.

Fall festival season continues with a trip to the Southern Adirondack Wool & Arts Festival to meet the men behind two new yarn companies.  

It's fiber festival season and knitting is in full gear!

Once and for all … I commit M1L and M1R to memory. Two nearly, oh so nearly, finished knitting projects, a new one on the horizon, sewing the Plover Pouch, and a new frontier in education. Plus, a poem featuring allusions to sewing and needlework by Samiya Bashir.

I've been making progress on two knitting projects and just finished a hand-sewn top with curved piecing.  Plus, an excerpt from my current read about owls!
