how it all happened...
it all began in march. we weren't really looking to purchase a home just yet (although that was certainly one of our longterm future goals), as living in our little studio apartment was working quite well and we were enjoying... Continue reading

another beautiful knit, amanda! i adore tikki's patterns...
a baby in a handknit
It's been a while since I've featured A Baby in Handknits around here. How long has it been? Two days, three days, five? Oh my. That simply won't do! And so today I bring you another recently-off-the-needles project. It's Cassia, a pattern by tiKKi, (available in her Ravelry store). A lovely ...
maya's flute case...
at the beginning of grade 2 at our waldorf school (and in many other waldorf schools, i understand), each child's first handwork project of the year is their flute case...as they begin learning their pentatonic flutes in earnest during this... Continue reading

casting off & casting on
Another knit came off the needles this week. A sweater, for Ezra. It's the fisherman pullover, my second go at this sweet pattern (I made one for Harper last year as well). It's Quince & Co's Puffin, in Nasturtium - a color Ezra chose himself. I made most of this quick-to-knit sweater back i...

which is why i LOVE ravelry so very much! a place to keep and look back on all of those important notes. :)
unknitting
Back to the knitting. Or unknitting, as the case may be. For sometimes, that's how we must knit - by going backwards. Because sometimes, we're not really paying attention. Sometimes, our notes for one sweater are scattered all over two notebooks, in four different colored pens with far too ma...
saint valentine...
in maya's class this year at our waldorf school (grade 2), the children were encouraged to make valentine's gifts for each of their classmates (30 total). as explained by her class teacher at our parent meeting earlier this year, this... Continue reading

oh, how i love vests, too! so perfect for those cold days without the bulk. this is such a sweet one, amanda - for your little sweet pea. :)
a vest for annabel
Baby Girl got herself a new wardrobe staple this week. A Pebble vest - a favorite knit of mine - with a pink flair. It's knit with Foxfire Fibre, in (barely) just one skein, leftover from Adelaide's sweater of last year. Annabel has been wearing Harper's old (original) Pebble, but just recen...
oh goodness, amanda - i love how you just jump into anything creative! LOVE that! your new adventure into soap looks so lovely. fun stuff. :)
a kitchen apothecary
Sometime last year, my parents delivered this cabinet to us. (Because they had three.) They might have thought I was going to place my great-grandmother's china on the shelves, and freshly pressed linens below. But then again, they know me, and very well might have guessed that it would be sto...
hers and mine...
this week, maya and i have been knitting together on some fun new projects. i'm working on a quick newborn gift (for a friend's baby, who is due any time now!) - a tiny bloom dress in a sweet pastel... Continue reading
