hi everyone! I have not been posting to FB lately as I am not so sure how many of you are able to see my posts.
I also get a little overwhelmed sometimes when I sign in!
Anyways, if you are on instagram then please visit me there to see some little snippets of my life and work. If you like cats and chickens then you might also enjoy it.

Thinking about holiday gifts now that there is a little snow drifting around! These h**p cowls make great gifts, super soft and lightweight.

Soft h**p jersey makes this airy scarf an easy to wear and versatile accessory. The material is a very light knit, it has a beautiful drape and

Always inspired by this woman. Perfect little interview for a quick coffee break.

Autumn is by far the best knitting season, although it is a close runner with winter, and spring, and summer. New knits are starting to trickle into the shop!

Well this is just genius to me. It would possibly keep me from rinsing my brush in my coffee.. Side note : this lovely ceramicist, Amanda Ann Palmer, has been helping me make clay beads for some necklaces later this fall!

Some new fabric samples arrived today, and I love them! I am so excited to get a few new colors and materials in the shop! Putting together a new fabric order is one of those tasks I cherish, I look forward to sitting down with my notes, calculator (and a cocktail..?) later!

I don't think I've mentioned it here, but there are also now a couple of small, quirky rag rugs up in my etsy shop as well. A large portion of the profits go to the (non-profit) weaving studio I apprentice at. I am hoping to add more at some point, along with some alpaca rugs later in the year... (thinking about the alpaca actually keeps me up at night, I am that excited about it)

The perfect size for a bathroom or to lighten up a little nook in your house. This small handwoven area rug is made out of recycled t-shirts! The

sorry if you are seeing this posted twice. I am not facebook savvy for posting links, apparently. if this is the first time you are seeing this post/video Renate Hiller beautifully articulates the meanings behind making by hand. it makes for an inspiring 5 minute break, that gives some nice thoughts about handcrafting to meditate on.

A short film of Renate Hiller talking about the importance of handwork (knitting, etc.) in the modern world. Renate is the co-director of the Fiber Craft Stu...

i just took some new scarves and material off the loom! I don't really like starting the week with an empty loom, but with the amount of sewing I have it is probably for the best.. Excited to have the scarves up in the shop soon!
