And stay warm out there!

peruvian pullover

the first sweater I have ever made for myself

with baby alpaca from Peru that my parents brought back for me, the pattern is oatmeal pullover.  It is a simple pattern and the result is warm, soft and so comfortable.  The perfect thing to wear as the temperature drops in January.

And here's a dorky picture of me wearing it over Christmas.  I hope you are staying warm and cozy! 

more love

Another fun project for this time of year:

Felted heart elbow patches!  DIY tutorial here.  It was really fun and turned out pretty cute ~

Sending more love your way on a cold February day.  

What have you been doing to say warm and cozy?

you won't even recognize it....


I am finally moving at a good knitting clip now that the holidays are looming. Look how far this beauty has come! Next up: sleeves. Stay tuned....

small pieces

slow going sweater...


i've had less time to work on this lately than i would like. i blame my frisbee schedule; tuesday wednesday thursday after work plus saturday sunday. sometimes i image how nice it would be to just sit on the sideline and knit... but then no doubt i'd be wishing to play. i'm heading back up to telluride this weekend, but won't get to work on this then either since i'll be hanging out with the fam, including the mum. i might start another wip in the mean time, maybe i'll have something to show for it when i return to you next week!

what would you be knitting on the side line if you had some time and a sun hat?

po's sweater

This is Po


It is beginning to show signs of fall weather here in Colorado, and so I started to worry about the ferret who is loosing her hair. I made her this little sweater using Pepper Redfern's tutorial which was very simple; I was done in an hour. I also added a "P" for Po in the style of the traditional Weasly Christmas sweater. Happy.



I love fall. I am so excited to knit again. Hopefully you will be seeing many more completed projects here soon.

the hoodie

For Jayson

May I formally present the largest and longest project I have endeavored and accomplished, the Shogun Saints black Hoodie and Jacket. Shown here by it's recipient, my brother Jayson, this represents:12 skeins of yarn, 2 re-starts, 10 inches (vertical) of backwards knitting, hand drawn patterns, an entire couch devoted only to materials and pieces for weeks, hours of stitching, months worth of knitting and an entire season of Star Trek.


For no greater love is there than this: to knit a hoodie for one's brother. Finished dimensions are 30 in + 14 in hood tall, and 40 in around, modified from the Hardcore Hoodie with longer torso and sleeves, minus buttons and plus pockets. Also Includes my own design on the back; requested as a personal symbol of the wearer himself.


Looks happy doesn't he? He better be, because it took forever. But now I have finally managed to knit him something he will wear and love, which of course is the entire purpose. Happy Christmas Jayson, with tons of love and yarn.
