Abstract Pillow
As soon as I cast on this sweater, I realized it was aggressively unattractive. I love yellow when painting or forcing myself into a better mood – aggressive cheerfulness is a necessity in January, but it’s brutal to wear. I’ve never looked good in yellow a day in my life. So you’ll notice this isn’t…

Diamond Hat Redo
“Braces. What an evil word.” Those are the first words I jotted down when I wrote this beanie pattern ten years ago. I completely forgot about this hat. I don’t remember making it, wearing it, or getting rid of it, but I remember this orthodontic appointment. When I was sixteen, shortly after I got my…

Currant Sweater
I started this sweater in my parents’ living watching Home Alone 2 and realized a little late I was knitting practically the same sweater my sister was wearing.

Puppy’s First Christmas Sweater

Little Black Dress

It was the early days of covid, back when I was asking optimistic questions like, what should I wear to all…

Moss Crop Top
This part 90’s bubble shirt, part sweater I bought at the Gap eight years ago, is Jigglypuff reaimagined as a sweater. Jigglypuff easily makes my top three favorite Pokemon, but pink isn’t a color that’s usually featured in my closet. I started with a giant cone of pink DK that’s made it’s way through three…

Fair Isle Tank Take Two
This fair isle tank was the first tank top I’ve ever knit, and I clearly forgot a lot about what tank tops actually look like. Primarily, that the front and back are typically different. So I frogged the back. Here’s my re-do.

Only Murders in This Beanie
Now that I’ve binged Only Murders in the Building twice in a row, I’ve decided I need Selena Gomez’s wardrobe. I’m starting with this hat.
