I have two sweaters to show and tell! One for me, and one for my youngest niece. They're both based on the Flax pattern by @tincanknits , but I left off the garter stitch panel in the sleeves. On my sweater, I added a single subtle contrast row to the collar, sleeves, and hem, and on little miss K's sweater, I used the contrast color on all of the ribbing. This is what happens when I buy too much yarn - matching aunt/niece sweaters 😂. It gets worse, since I have enough of this yarn left to inflict another Flax variation on another niece. I am That Aunt.

Did you know these clampy hair clips are a decent stand in for a shawl pin? I got tired of my sweater flopping open today, so I whipped this little guy up at lunch time. A slice of millefiori cane, baked and super glued to the clip, and some UV resin brushed on top. Easy peasy. It's not winning any art awards, but it doesn't have to. It's pretty, it took an hour to make, and it gets the job done 🤎

Sunday knitting: a little modified #flaxsweater in

Sunday knitting: a little modified #flaxsweater in the same colors as my grownup modified Flax (which I will someday get around to showing and telling 😁)

You can't see it here, but this color of #cascade220heathers is more complicated than it looks. It has a surprising strand of hot pink twisted with the orangey coral. (That's why I put hot pink at the collar and cuffs.) You really have to be in this yarn's face and under a bright light to see this complexity, though.

This is my "it's 15°F and there's a pandemic raging, but I NEED bagels, damnit!" look. Maybe you can relate?

My hands were feeling restless, so... There's a new ripple in town. Gray, white, yellow-greens and sky blues are the plan.

On Quiet Time 14, a new Winter playlist, and the demise of 8tracks.

TWiP: Tiny Adventures (2019)
I love when I can look back on a week and see that it was full of tiny, everyday adventures. Having these weekly roundups are a great way to remind myself that I did more than just work all week.

Lucky Charm Scarf (2016)
I had this gorgeous alpaca worsted in all the right colors, and I needed a scarf, so I grabbed an E hook and just improvised my way through it. I've published the pattern, so come have a look!

This weekend I busted my laptop and did a lot of knitting. Here's a little update on both.
