I’m slowly getting back into knit design, not because I think it’s a viable career path but just because I love doing it. I can’t stay away. You can’t make me quit. I am stubborn and will continue doing this thing I love! So, awhile ago I had this idea for constructing a flag withContinue reading “Free Flag Knitting Patterns!”

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”
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”

leethal Stencils! Four ways to use them…
New thing! In graphic design school, we used a die cutter for a couple of projects, I was really into it, I checked craigslist juuuust in case and happened to find one used for less than half the price of a new one. So I impulsively bought it, started brainstorming what I could use itContinue reading “leethal Stencils! Four ways to use them…”
