In this episode, I share a summer knitting project that's new on my needles, plus more #outsidethesocksCAL making batts, and a delicious summer pie.

Join me for knitting, sewing, cooking, poetry, and my goal of creating a mostly handmade wardrobe.

Yes, I swatched and lived to tell about it! In this episode, I give the details of finished socks, Rhinebeck sweater planning, making simple syrups, and a poem in celebration of Pride Month. All that, plus an update on the Q2 Ko-fi prizes that will be drawn and announced in the next episode.

Slow Down & Stitch

This episode is chock full of finished projects and pining for the spring festivals.  I'm scouring some fleece and trying to find just the right pattern for my handspun Lenore yarn.

No One Is as Surprised as I Am

I've been mending my Cambria duster using a variety of techniques -- inspired by the fact that Cal Patch is coming to teach mending at Orange on May 19! Meanwhile, I've knit my first sweater using beautiful Tidal Yarn, artfully dyed by Patricia.  It took some knitting and un-knitting, but I finally achieved the botanical sweater I have been dreaming of.  All this, plus sock knitting (eye of partridge heel and double gusset have returned) and a poem for the season by Beth Ann Fennelly.

March is for Mending

My finished Eun is the coziest sweater in my closet, and knit just in time for a few days' wear before the temperatures rise! In this episode, I also share the details of a completed spinning project, spindle spinning for 100 days, and returning to the knitting of my colorwork sweater in Tidal Yarns.  Plus, a poem by Wendell Berry.

So Cozy

This episode is anchored by my intentions set over the first two weeks of February: honor creative impulses and open your heart. I share a number of new works, talk about my continued spinning progress, and read a poem by Andrea Gibson, poet laureate of Colorado.
