Floor loom being thread with three different colors of green yarn
Heddle threading is exactly what my brain needed today. To everything there is a rhythm… light, medium, dark, light, medium, light…1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 1
Keeping sane one project at a time!

2025 was not my year. Started off strong and then got completely sidelined with one disaster after another. Knitting kept me sane though! The Jethro Cardigan was my favorite make from the year.
There’s something magical about knitting and crochet in the same project! 🧶 #showmeyourknits
Handspun yarns in yellow, orange, blue, and a blend of all three
The spoils of my Tour de Fleece efforts - opposing ply yarns for socks.

This yarn + this pattern is perfection! I love the garter stitch details down the sleeves.

The nails are a coincidence, but kinda also makes me want to start matching all my WIPs!

18.05.2025 16:03 — 👍 28 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It was a bit easier than it looks! It’s modular knitting with pick ups, and the pattern includes a technique for working with the ends of the yarn so you don’t have to weave them in. Magical!

Lots of folks stopped me to talk about my sweater today at Maryland Sheep & Wool… this masterpiece is the End Time Cardigan by Amy Young Gunderson. I chose to use 553 different yarns, but far less would be equally beautiful 😍
