Over the past couple of years, my goals for making have changed and evolved. The intersection between creativity and practicality has increasingly affected how I view my making. But if I'm being honest with myself, the balance between 'making just to make' and pushing myself to learn, grow and labour has difficult to strike. A… Continue reading Epic Cloth, Pt 1 (dream): Handwoven Scout Tee

handspun ‘Eden’ stole
There are more than a few things that I love about Ravelry but one of the most important features is the ability to keep a working journal of my projects and yarns.

Episode 80 LIVE: This is what happens when I don’t podcast for a while …
Today, we chatted about new beginnings and changes in our home life. We discovered how I build my spinner's control cards, my thought process and some examples, as a result of a question asked. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to approach me in the Ravelry group or here! Next, we explored many finished spins from the past couple of weeks which are finished because I haven't been podcasting! This is what happens when there's a bit of a break! haha Lastly, I share a new, non-handspun project that is part of our ongoing Stashdown CAL (craft-along) on Ravelry. I hope you enjoy the show!

Striped Colour Play.
I was sitting on the couch at work, in the corner, knitting away on these socks. On a whim after a conversation with my dear friend Katrina the night before, I had started them quickly. As I knit them up and listened to the chatter in the staff room, I couldn’t help but think that… Continue reading Striped Colour Play.
