Red Nick’s Fancy Hat!

About two and a half years ago my brother’s girlfriend Michelle reached out to me. She works as a costumer and shopper in Hollywood, dressing characters in movies and shows like Death Wish, The Morning Show, and All Rise, for example. She had gotten a job on this exciting movie with some big-name celebs, theyContinue reading “Red Nick’s Fancy Hat!”

My October Horror Movie Sweater Project!

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!”

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.

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”

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”
