CATCHING UP / SNEAK PEEK OF NEW DESIGN

textured knit in browns laying on table with tape measure and Shannon's hand holding a brown skein of wool, with a vase and pitcher of dried flowers on table.

Current mood.

Sneak peek! It’s been a while friends - let’s catch up! I’ve been working on a new garment pattern for a while with scrumptious textures and fun design details that I can’t wait to show you!

My kiddos are back in school, summer was fun with the fam (minus getting covid end in Aug), and I’m looking forward to getting back into a regular routine and hearing how you all are.

What’s on your needles? What are you reading and making for fall? How are you?

Wool: Hudson & West Co. Forge in colorway Tobacco.

KNIT ALONG || TANIS FIBER ARTS PUREWASH GIVEAWAY!!!

I've got a special giveaway for you all today! Why is it special you may ask? It's special because I love nothing more than seeing a talented and sweet friend make a dream come true! Tanis of Tanis Fiber Arts had a goal last year and she went after it! She set out to create an eco-friendly, organic, washable wool and boy did she hit a home run! At the end of June she launched her newest yarn - PureWash. I'm so proud of her and her accomplishment that I thought it would be fun to celebrate it's launch during the SSKAL with a giveaway!

KNITTING || YARN STORAGE - HOW DO YOU STORE YOUR STASH?

I've been working away behind the scenes re-arranging and redoing my office. It feels great to start fresh, organize and purge my creative space. When we moved into our house a year or so ago I literally unpacked halfhazardly because I was so excited to have a room to work in! I didn't put much thought into the arrangement & flow and how it was going to be to really work in the space.
