I’m about 500 yards into knitting this seed stitch I’m about 500 yards into knitting this seed stitch scarf and the end is in sight, but I gotta be honest… I kind of want to keep knitting.
I can’t remember the last time I bought a brand ne I can’t remember the last time I bought a brand new piece of furniture, and it’s because Facebook Marketplace is such a fabulous resource. Anything I want is available there in solid wood and with more character than I could find in a new store, and for a way better price, too. When I rearranged my office last week, I realized I needed a little bit more storage. Since then, I’ve been on the hunt for just the right small bookcase, console, or table with a shelf below it. I spotted this one on marketplace after a couple days, but the price was a little more than I wanted to pay for it. When I saw the price had dropped on Monday evening, I jumped on it. Shopping secondhand is an exercise in honing your taste, knowing what you’re looking for, and trusting your gut. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of things out there, so you need to filter and sort and sift aggressively. I’ll pop a blog post about how to do just that in my stories.
Busily knitting away on a scrappy scarf, enjoying Busily knitting away on a scrappy scarf, enjoying the sunshine on my houseplants, admiring tiny details in a finished shawl, and giggling at my grumpy little Staffordshire dogs (as always). I haven’t been around here much lately, but I promise I’m going to change that. Just gotta find my mojo again.
I’ve got a new, free pattern for you! The Syllabus I’ve got a new, free pattern for you! The Syllabus Slipper Socks are up on the blog now. These socks are knit with worsted-weight yarn and feature a simple, 4-row pattern with eyelets and basic cables on the front panel of the sock. The back is simple stockinette. These socks are great for newer sock knitters looking to stretch their skills andcommitted sock knitters who want a relaxing project. The link is in my stories.
