Bulbasaur Patch
I found the cutest baby sweater pattern for a shower gift last month. The original idea was to make something cute, simple, and gender neutral. The problem, is that Cascade 220 Superwash has so many shades of green. That’s what I’m going to blame this on. And these two shades of green wanted to be…

Abstract Sweater
I didn’t study much my senior year in college. Instead, I spent a solid chunk of my time painting abstracts with tiny brushes on five inch squares of canvas. I see painting now as a form of meditation – clearing my thoughts to focus on swirls of complementary color. But back then, as my rickety…
