Big Sweater Smaller Sweater
There’s a picture of my dad that used to sit on my mom’s bedside table – in the nebulous lore that is my dad’s past, I would place it somewhere around the time he took a break from college and lived in Colorado, getting by teaching other sometime-college-students to ski. In this picture, he’s leaning…

Christmas Stocking Redo
I published my first knitting pattern on Ravelry back in 2012, probably instead of studying for a final. I’d say it was solid C+ work, but that’s why I didn’t try charging for my patterns until this year (a full decade later). A few people have tried to knit this C+ project, and one recently…

Cyndaquil
It’s been a minute since I’ve attempted to knit a Pokémon. Specifically, it’s been nine years (which I know thanks to Ravelry, a.k.a the keeper of my memories since my brain is a sieve that only holds on to song lyrics I heard in Middle School and jokes from British panel shows). But since I’m…

Deco Wave Pullover
Oops, I did it again. “It” meaning knit a sweater that’s a cross between a tennis player from 1922 and a babysitter from 1985. There was definitely a resurgence of some 1920s styles in the 1980s. I’m basing most of this on the dress my mom wore to her rehearsal dinner in 1989 – cobalt…

Diamond Pullover
This sweater falls into the sweet spot on the Venn diagram between things I want to wear on a boat and things that remind me of my fashion paper dolls. I found it in a Google Image search while I was looking for some vintage knitting inspiration and I think I did a reasonable job…

Coffee and Cream Tank
I made this tank to complete a 2-piece look inspired by Instagram ads and Cher’s virtual closet in Clueless. As a warning, since I made it for myself, this is definitely a top for the flat-chested girls. Size: US XS, (S, M, L, XL) Size Guide Materials: Needles: US size 4 circular US size 6 circular…

Tulip Skirt
Who knew the secret to making skirts stay up was elastic? Was it everyone? Because I just found out while remaking my Scrap Yarn Pencil Skirt. This is an update of a pretty recent pattern, but I still only had pictures and the blog post to work with. One reason I take so many pictures…

Another Cardigan
The only downside to my stash yarn cardigans is the stash yarn. Some of it’s itchy, the gauge isn’t consistent, the colors aren’t what I buy for my wardrobe anymore… So I made another one with all new yarn.
