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…

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…

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. Despite the fact that we aren’t actually twins, my sister and I dress more and more alike with every passing year. I stand by this sweater anyway.…

Bicycle Sweater
I don’t know if this counts as an abandoned knitting project seeing as I never actually started it, but I did sketch it sometime back in 2013 fresh from a rainy day trip to Savannah. I went as far as dropping some squares in MS Paint, and then immediately forgot about it. Probably because the…

Striped Sweater
This might be my favorite stash yarn knit yet. It’s more relaxed than my usual raglan (or at least seamed) sweater and made entirely from scraps of worsted I bought from my yarn teacher’s store as a kid – back when I chose yarn for stitch visibility and nothing else. Not for the first time,…
