my knitting essentials
When I first started knitting, my materials were all haphazardly purchased and stored as I needed them! However, now that I’m [just a little] more organized, I thought I’d share some of the things I use, or need, the most to help those who are just starting out. Read on for some of my favorites.
merry christmas
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, friends! We spent time with my family and enjoyed the rest that the day brought in a season of uncertainty.
a journey into amigurumi
I finally got Edward’s Menagerie after eying it for months and am loving it so far! The animals turn out looking so classic and adorable! I made this panda for my niece and am already getting requests for more! Have you ever tried amigurumi crochet? What did you think?

it’s been a week
Just wanted to pop in and apologize for practically dropping off the face of the planet–it’s been a hard week both at work and with my family. We had some life-changing news (nobody is dying and I’m not pregnant) to start off this week, so my mind has been preoccupied on top of it being the […]
