Are you making WAVES yet? Our little knit-along for Migraineur is slowly picking up steam, and a few of you lovelies are messaging me or posting in the Ravelry group about your plans and starts. Of course, you don’t have to knit Waves, that’s just what I’m making! As for me, I’ve finished the main … More Making WAVES: Yarn and Cast-On
Tuesday was a very special day. Not only did my husband come home after a 9-day trip, but he brought with him a special box. A box I could have had a little sooner, but delayed so that husband could bring it back as one of his “bags” on this trip, saving me a portion … More Behind the Book: Why Amazon?
Happy Weekending, everyone! It’s an exciting time: early orders of Migraineur have arrived in knitters’ hands, the KAL in my Ravelry group is slowly building steam, and we even have our first FO! (Well done Maria!) In a few days, I should finally have my author copies in hand too. I finished the handspun main … More Behind the Book: Milarrochy Tweed Yarn
Good day, lovelies around the world. I am the sort of person who will watch all the extras on any DVD I own. Don’t ask me how many times I’ve watched every featurette about Lord of the Rings. So it seems fitting that I give you some behind the scenes low-down on the making of … More Behind the Book: Photos on the Land

After the summation of yesterday’s post, I like to give myself a fresh start of plans and dreams. So yesterday I did a great big stash toss, moved a few things around, and set some priorities for 2026. At the end of the year I’ll look back at this post and laugh. I sure did … More 2026 Vision Board

Happy Fourth day of Christmas, everyone! I have a little treat for you today. As you may know, I’ve received a lot of support from KDD&Co to produce Migraineur. Today, Kate did the kindness of posting about the project on her blog. She’s included the foreword she wrote for the book, and speaks from experience … More Welcome! and Kate’s Foreword
This week before Christmas has felt strange – some of our plans have fallen through, there’s been lots of sickness in town, and I feel more aware than usual that many people in our community are struggling this Christmas. I feel the pressure like anyone else to make Christmas beautiful, festive, and special. But when … More Christmas 2025
Here, just after the winter solstice, two days before Christmas, we come to the last pattern reveal of Migraineur. What a journey it’s been! I’m concluding with one final shawl, Fragile. With this shawl, I’m once again chasing that idea of meltwater in diagonal channels, but this time they extend into long seams and one … More To Break and Heal
