As much as I love ankle socks for summer, the majority of the year a longer sock is just more appropriate. And since I loved how Deborah Ankle Socks turned out (check them out here!) I had to create a crew length version. It was mandatory. Well, I thought so at least. I chose to…
I did it. I finally designed something just for me. Rosemary Cardigan is essentially my dream sweater. It’s so rare that mom’s do anything for themselves but I took the time to create everything I’ve ever wanted in a sweater and I have to admit, I love it! Rosemary Cardigan is oversized. I wanted something…
If you loved the youth version of September Cardigan your going to love the adult version for yourself. I originally made September Cardigan for my daughter and it looked so cute on her I HAD to have one for myself. As soon as hers was off my needles I cast on one for me. And…
I know, I know! I already wrote a blog post about my peanut’s new favorite sweater, Baby Wheat Cardigan, but after thinking about it long and hard I really felt like the Baby Wheat Cardigan pattern needed to make its way to the blog. If you want to read the inspiration behind the pattern and…
The birth of September Sock Worsted was completely a necessity. I was Christmas knitting and was in a time crunch because we moved away from my family this year. I wasn’t able to knit until Christmas Eve morning this year. Yikes!!! I was making my brother in law a pair of socks and because men’s…

We had our first snow this week here in Montana. I had to pull out our mitten bin and assess if we had enough because any mom will tell you mittens are like socks, the dryer eats them. We had enough this year for the first time in years BUT my 5 year old requested…
Many people don’t realize that I’m a left handed knitter. I am very, very, very left hand dominant. Although my mom tried to teach me how to knit right handed, it just didn’t happen until one day at age 10 when we tried something different. I sat across from her and mirrored her. Once I…
I have a friend who has 7 awesome kids. I know, another family just like ours!! Well, I offered to make their kids hats this year. Out of that came this Ribbed Beanie in Worsted pattern. I dug through my stash and pulled out 7 unique colors, because any mom with more that 1 kid…
