Entertaining

Four pieces of Jasperware--a teacup with a saucer, a bowl, a small lidless box, and a large vase--sit together on a side table. Each piece is the classic light blue (known officially as "lavender") with white accents.

Let's knit some really cute socks together

I’ve been so focused on getting my materials ready I’ve been so focused on getting my materials ready for @flockfiberfestival that I’ve barely posted about it! I’m teaching two classes on Friday (one is sold out, but one still has a space or two left in it), speaking on a panel on Saturday about what happens when you make your hobby into your business, and hosting a table on Sunday where you can come check out lots of my designs in person. If you’re going to be there, please come say hi! I’ll have stickers, some stitch markers to give away, and lots of codes for a free pattern download. These kinds of events are a real highlight for me, because I don’t get to hang out in person with fellow fiber arts people very often. Getting to meet new friends is a treat.
Forgive me if I’m starting to sound like a broken Forgive me if I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but this pattern release is so very special to me. You may not know it, but I decided to take my knitting business full-time not long after Lauren dove into her first season of competitive racing in more than 20 years. Watching her pursue her dreams with such joy and dedication has helped me feel like I can do the same with mine. I think a lot of us around here have been in similar boats (no pun intended!). We reach our 30s or 40s, look around ourselves, feel generally satisfied with what we’ve done so far, but also have a lingering what if, a dream that we’ve set aside. And the thing is, even if you’ve told yourself it’s too late for your dream, odds are good it isn’t actually. You just won’t know for sure until you try. So this hat pattern is helping to make sure it’s not too late for Lauren’s dreams. Comment “15 Knots,” and I’ll send you a link to a blog post with all the info about how this works, where to get the pattern, how to source the yarn if you’d like some, and how to join the knit along. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even find encouragement to pursue your own dream, too.
Want to knit your own 15 Knots Hat and help the am Want to knit your own 15 Knots Hat and help the amazing @sailingmom2la28 go after her Olympic dreams at the same time? The pattern is out now on Ravelry and Etsy, and $2 from every sale for the first month go to supporting her campaign! The hat is knit from the top down with swirling cables that look like winds and currents on a map and four intersecting segments that look like a compass rose at the crown. It’s graded to four sizes, so there’s something for everyone. And @megsandco_yarn created a special colorway just for this release, too! The gorgeous hot pink is inspired by Lauren’s racing team, and you can get your own skein to knit a hat with the your friends. A portion of the sales from these special skeins will also be donated to the fundraising effort.
It’s finally here! The pattern for the 15 Knots Ha It’s finally here! The pattern for the 15 Knots Hat is now available, and I’m so excited to officially launch this fundraiser for @sailingmom2la28’s Olympic campaign. This has been such a fun collaboration with @megsandco_yarn, who did a deep dive on Lauren’s website and pulled the perfect hot pink from her branding. I’m obsessed with it. Want to join the fun? Comment “15 Knots” and I’ll send you a blog post with all the info for the different ways you can join this project.
