Newly-finished 100% yak cardigan with hood
Another of my wonderful projects, the Mama Bear cardigan, is finally "off the hook." This is a truly well-written pattern by Mon Petit Violon. It was a joy to make and I look forward to wearing it once the temperature dips just a bit more (and, actually sharing a photo of myself, not the mannequin,… Continue reading Newly-finished 100% yak cardigan with hood
Late summer treasures + WIP updates
My excuse for posting is to share a few photos from today that reflect the season. Late summer/early fall in Korea is my favorite time of year. It might be a season all its own, since this transition time is much milder than high summer, yet the leaves have only just begun to look a… Continue reading Late summer treasures + WIP updates
Quick WIP update – cardi and infinity scarf
Just a quick craft diary entry today. I finally stitched together the ends of my latest scarf, made with Scheepjes Wanderlust gradient yarn.

Favorite garments of 2020 and current WIPs
Winter solstice and the holidays are upon us, and it's that time of year again to look back at the things I learned, experienced, contributed, and created.

I was less productive in 2020 than I'd hoped to be in many of the activities that… Continue reading Favorite garments of 2020 and current WIPs

WIPs update: cocoon shrug, cardigan progress, amigurumi, and new velvet yarn
Just popping in to share a pod / cocoon shrug I made with my old fave, Hi-Soft 4-ply cotton blend. I've wanted to make one of these for a long time, because it's basically one big granny square that's folded like origami. Folds made to the center create sleeve openings, and only a seam on… Continue reading WIPs update: cocoon shrug, cardigan progress, amigurumi, and new velvet yarn

Post-typhoon nature walk, and crochet projects update
My posts are coming slower these days - I'm really bogged down at work, like so many educators during this pandemic. There is some wheel-reinventing going on that is unavoidable. I have plenty to be thankful for, including the simple pastimes that distract me from worries. That still includes going out in nature with my… Continue reading Post-typhoon nature walk, and crochet projects update
