Hello April
Hello April!
It feels like I spent the entire month of March editing Shawls to Play With. (which is here!!!)
I did sneak away for an evening to knit exactly 2 rows on the shawl I’ve been neglecting, but most of my knitting time has been spent working on the secret knitting project. However! The secret project is knit!
The collection I’ve been working on for ages is finally available for sale! You can buy it here, or through ravelry. And if you want a sneak peak, here it is…
I’ll try to have some knitting for you guys next week, (though is might be a new pile of swatches.)
a collection about possibility
knitting like a woman obsessed.
Riffing off of the idea of instant gratification from yesterday. I adore a project I can sink my teeth into.
A project that inspires nothing short of commitment, adoration, and borderline obsession.
A project to sink your teeth into.
It’s part of why I knit shawls, they aren’t quick by any stretch of the imagination, and they don’t requite piecing like most sweaters do. No second sleeve syndrome with a shawl. Just a beginning, and an end, with an expanse of fabric to play with in the middle.
I’m currently working on a collection that’s pulling out this kind of obsessed focus. The kind of focus where you can’t concentrate on anything else. The kind of project that has you staying up late and waking up early to work on it.
I see a small pattern collection accompanied by lots of writing.
A collection centered around simplicity, elegance, grace, drape, ease, flexibility, adaptability, possibility, experimentation, curiosity, and play.
