Update on our family shenanigans and other transitions.

We’re in the worst wildfire season in Alberta’s history, but there’s a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of it’s good.

After three years, I have finally finished the first adult sweater design I have ever attempted. Yay!

My energy’s low, so instead of pondering life like I usually do, here’s a little round-up of some of my recent projects you might be interested in.

I felt slower than usual this week, but still ended up with some cool things for my readers and knitting customers. And I got to be social, too.

Taking a moment to look back at how far I’ve come before looking to the immediate future again.

When the blahs happen two weeks a month, it’s not just depression… Also, update on my slow productivity mission, what I did this week in my business (hint: knitting pattern update), and some sad news about my grandmother.

How things went with my first week embracing Slow Productivity.

Lovely photography and a variety of options in a clean, minimalist design as fresh as new snow.

A riot of colour, knitwear eye candy, and touchable texture reigns in this small town Local Yarn Store.

This year, I'm taking my knitting business in a slightly new direction, one designed to respark my joy, to borrow an overused trending phrase. I have decided to take a year off of publishing new patterns, and have declared this my "Year of Playing With Words and Yarn." That means you’ll be hearing more about knitting. And that’s a good thing.

I’m not sure I’m cramming enough exciting things into my week. What do you think?

Have you been having trouble finding yarn to substitute for Knit Picks Wool of the Andes for the Just Plain Gloves or Just Plain Mittens patterns? Do you have trouble substituting yarn in general? Read this.

When I think back to last December, I can see how very much has happened in my life in the last year, what I’ve accomplished, and how I’ve changed. And I’m grateful.

My mission to get my weight under control, plus the release of the Just Plain Gloves Knitting Pattern and an announcement about some of my short fiction.
