After rounding up all my movie theater sweaters in September, I decided to plan out a horror movie sweater for October, since I had a plan to watch as many horror movies as possible in the month! And since I’d be knitting at home instead of in theaters, I could do more than round-and-round stockinette.Continue reading “My October Horror Movie Sweater Project!”

Movie Sweater Projects!
Since two of my main obsessions/hobbies are knitting and watching movies, of course I love to find ways to combine the two! Knitting while watching movies is obvious, and something I do pretty much every single day, but I also like to plan out projects around my movie watching sometimes. Before I started my newContinue reading “Movie Sweater Projects!”
My most eventful quick trip to California
I flew down to California to visit my family four weeks ago, and flew back to Portland a few days later with a completely different life! I already knew I’d be heading down with no tattoos and coming back with one; I didn’t know I’d be heading down with a job and coming back withoutContinue reading “My most eventful quick trip to California”
Something better, something beautiful (my ’21 & ’22 music playlists)
If you’ve been following my blog/work for a long time, you may remember that I used to be very into making mix CDs. I even made a knitting pattern collection with pattern names inspired by albums and I made a mix CD to go with it. I was reeeally into making mixes in college and for years after I’d make themed mix CDs for occasions.
March Around the World movie challenge!
Throughout March I played along with this Letterboxd movie challenge called March Around the World, and I got really into it!

My Improvised Cable-Yoke Sweater
How about some knitting content on this blog?! I started knitting this sweater in summer 2020, with plans for it to be my around-and-around in plain stockinette movie theater sweater when I started going to movies again, once the bottom edging was done. And then I originally had a vague plan to do a simpleContinue reading “My Improvised Cable-Yoke Sweater”
2023 Favorite Movies!
It’s time! I’ve finalized my 2023 movies list. I wanted to see as many 2023 releases as possibly possible before putting a cap on the list, so I kept watching them through the end of last week and then I messed with the order a bit more and called it done. I’m sure I’ll haveContinue reading “2023 Favorite Movies!”
My 2023 wrap up… making & doing
I’ve thought of 2023 as Senior Year of the pandemic. Not because there’s any graduation or ending in sight, just because it was the fourth year, and I feel like we’ve all grown and changed so much since 2020, or Freshman Year. 2023 was a bit rough—it’s the year I finally got covid—and it’s alsoContinue reading “My 2023 wrap up… making & doing”
My Favorite Movies of 2022… plus movies in 2020 and beyond
I initially wrote a massively long post about my love of movies over the last several years, with multiple favorites lists, and then I realized that was ridiculous and I needed to at least split it into two parts. So, my previous movies post became part one, which was kind of just about movies inContinue reading “My Favorite Movies of 2022… plus movies in 2020 and beyond”
