Untangling Mindy Wilkes
When designer Mindy Wilkes first posted to my site in January of 2016, I was thrilled. I of course knew Mindy from her Holden shawlette, which was one of the first shawls I considered knitting (it’s still in my Ravelry favorites to knit… someday).

What to stash this week: Are ewe knitting me?
If you’re looking for your Rhinebeck sweater, I may have found it! The cleverly-named Are Ewe Knitting Me? is a top-down, seamless sweater in fingering weight yarn with an adorable colorwork sheep yoke.

Baad Mom Yarns isn’t a new dyer,…

What to stash this week: Game of Color
If you’re crazy about medieval literature (no, I don’t mean a certain yet-to-be-finished-before-the-TV-show-spoils-everything series of books) then you must order Karen of KarenDawn Designs/Round Table Yarns’ new book, A Parliament of Cowls. Based on Chaucer’s Parliament of Fowls, the book’s eight cowls represent various birds who are debating which suitor the female eagle should choose as her mate.
While I have Rhinebeck on the brain,…

Untangling the Knit Petite Project
Those of you who have seen me in person know that I’m a little on the short side — 4’9″ to be exact. I barely reach Stephen West’s shoulders. So, when I heard about Teresa Gregorio’s Knit Petite Project, I knew I had to reach out.
