Knitting the Stash!

My last knit of 2025 is finished (the Downtown Hoodie by Tori Yu) and the lace project keeps on giving me reasons to modify! Plus, a few designers I’ll be following in 2026. I hope you’ll join me 🙂 ~Melissa

It’s that time of year. . . when I refuse to gift knit. Let’s chat about why. Let’s also talk about successful and failed necklines, the fixing of some mohair lace, and why mistakes are useful. I hope you’ll join me 🙂 ~Melissa

What would happen if you took the Extra Lite Bright sweater and combined it with the Musselburgh Hat? A miracle! Or, well, at least a fun fade that can go either way. In this episode, I talk about my plans for the hat while showing off my finished sweater. I hope you’ll join us 🙂 ~Melissa

Oh dear me . . . I knit the wrong hem. Sigh. At least the sweater is still beautiful–if not podcast perfect! I have the Extra Lite Bright on my needles today along with some tales of woe and some finished object photos. Let’s talk about superwash yarn and its pros and cons, shall we?
