Hi all . . . wow, I didn’t mean to be gone for so long after flaunting my new fall scarflet, but I’ve been a busy bee. I spent most all of this past week cranking out a great big pile of linen dish towel sets, and, I must say, I’m pretty twitterpated with how they’ve turned out! I had so much fun making color sets of the patchwork pincushions that I continued that theme and made up color sets of the linen dish towels, which you can check out for yourself because they’re now available in my s h o p.

The { r e d } set is my favorite of the bunch. Those sweet lil’ acorns? Perfect for infusing this most perfect season into your kitchen.

So go take a peek in the shop and get yourself or a good friend a handmade, sturdy, + eco-friendly gift for fall!

Happy weekend, everyone!

Have y’all heard the latest? The new fashion trend for this fall is funky, handknit unmatching socks! Totally chic. Totally. { At least they’re color-coordinated? }

‘Nother single sock can be added to the stack. I’m on my last two singles for my little Project Spectrum Elements project, which I’ve been working on for the past 6 months. I have two singlets left: one to represent BLACK + one to represent BLUE, both of which are on the needles. Project Spectrum concludes at the end of the month, and then… and THEN, friends, it will be all about knitting mates to each and every single sock. I have no idea what sort of system I’ll use to determine the order I knit mates. Maybe I’ll take suggestions? {Do you have any?} Maybe I’ll go in the order of most favorited on Ravelry. Maybe it’ll be random. Who can say? Socktober is my oyster . . .

The leaning tower of socks, that is. Look it here, proof that I still knit, despite my summer vacation from blogging! Okay, so maybe this particular leaning tower is built out of single socks, but they won’t be singe for much longer. This October (or, rather, Socktober), I’m going to start methodically working through the single socks I’ve accumulated and crank out the mates. This new blog needs new FOs, yes? Yes.

Thank you for all of your comments on the new site + store! I’m pretty pleased with both. I mean, posting again after just 2 days?? Clearly, change is good.
