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.

Hot off the needles | Bamboo Summer Top

The Bamboo Summer Top is a free pattern by Nancy Ricci. I watched as she knitted it and called for testers. The pictures she posted were lovely, as were those of the testers. I will admit, my initial thought was “how will the girls fit in that cute little top” I know I can’t be

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
