12 Weeks of Gifting — Week 10: Hope and Cheer
This week’s discount and gifting pattern recommendation is a Christmastime favorite of mine: Hope and Cheer! I really love these little mini stockings. They’re the perfect size to hold a gift card or a portion of homemade…

I’m once again a participating designer in the Fasten Off Yarnalong! If you’re not familiar with it, the Fasten Off Yarnalong is a sale, knitalong, and virtual cross-platform party happening now through January 31 that includes more…
12 Weeks of Gifting — Week 9: Steven’s Creek Hat
This week my gift recommendation is to tackle this lovely colorwork hat, Steven’s Creek. It’s a fun pattern to knit and a great hat to wear. (It’s just possible that we sometimes fight over this hat in…
