For the final project I’ll share this year, I want to show you this autumnal lopapeysa. This jumper has been finished for a while, patiently waiting for a day when it finally was cold enough and the idea of wearing an Icelandic jumper didn’t seem […]

Herfspinner Fingerless Gloves
I hope this late November day finds you well. Today I wanted to show you these moth adorned colourwork mitts that I knit up earlier in the year. The photos were taken on a glorious autumn day when the air had a nice moist forest […]
Winter Grass Socks
Hey all, how is summer (or winter) going in your part of the world? We are truly into summer in my neck of the woods; everything green has had a growth spurt and more and more plants are shooting into flower. We’ve had sunny and […]

The Gift of Woodland Socks
In my 2020 end-of-year review, I mentioned I fell down a sock-knitting hole. For all that talk about my newfound fondness of sock knitting, I have neglected to actually show you any fruits of that fascination! Let this post be the start of my sock […]
