… and I won’t knit for nobody but me. You know, like the song… Love Machine… anyway.. that’s me, lately, working for nobody but me.
I am finally making Georgia by Jane Richmond. Aren’t those little pleats the best? This is the sort of detail I admire her work for. I could just close my eyes and blindly point to anything on her pattern page and love it. It’s all the kind of thing I’d wear.

Sounds like another bad tv pilot, huh? Actually it’s just a mash up of knitting project names and the fact that I’m the featured maker over on Kollabora’s Nora Meets the…
This has been a long time coming. Ravello, gifted to me by Isabell Kraemer (Thank you, Isabell!), is the perfect lightweight, weekend sweater. Let me prove it: it has stripes, is lightweight,…
I pinned this head scarf, by Elisa McLaughlin, a couple of years ago because I thought it was different than other knit or crochet headband patterns I’d seen. It didn’t tie,…
