The Sweater Workshop is so much more than patterns

Making a Sweater has always been a fear of mine, for so many reasons. We won’t dwell on the fact that I have in fact completed a sweater or two or three, but I digress. For some silly reason, in my mind, I thought because I hadn’t completed a fingering weight sweater, I was lacking.  […]

Finished Friday on a Monday

I finished and it is not Friday. LOL It’s been a minute since I last posted an FO and that is because I can NOT do multiple WIPS. I truly don’t understand how folks have multiple projects going at once. I promise I would never ever finish anything. Did I share  when I was gifted

All Orange Yarn matters

The other day I was asked what percentage of my yarn is orange. I hesitated because it’s actually not as much as folks think. I honestly think if I pulled out all of my yarn, less than 50% off it is orange. I mean I post more yarn that is in the orange family, but
