f.o. : hey sailor!
This was a last winter project that I’m finally getting around to posting. My Hey Sailor! by Andrea Mowry was super addictive to knit because of the clever pattern and construction.
I love that this t-shirt can be worn with the buttons in front or back making it a pretty versatile construction. I knit mine in Knitting for Olive cotton merino (this was my first time using this line from Knitting for Olive) and it was a dream to work with. The colors I chose for mine were dark sea green and cream.
f.o.: sweater no.18
Yet another dupe! I saw another knitter on ravelry make the Sweater No. 18 by My Favorite Things using this unusual color—a gradient from Malabrigo Rios yarn line called Primavera, which is a gradient of yellows, greens, purples, grays, and oranges. This is not a color way I’d normally choose but I’m trying to branch out in 2025 and work some more unique pieces.
f.o. : olga sweater.
I’m quite pleased with my Olga Sweater by PetiteKnit, which I completed at the very start of 2025 and still haven’t worn out in the world. I decided to take some color risk, which is part of my goal setting for this year of makes, and went with a bold red and purple palette. This particular combination is a dupe of another knitter’s finished product that I was really drawn to when I was trying to decide on what yarn and colors to pursue for this project.
f.o. : first sets of '24 socks
Remember when I mentioned that I've spent more than a decade knitting socks for other people? And that in 2024, I was going to knit my stash to make socks just for me?
makes by me: hilma sweater.
Things I spend time making—and never wear. This one is the Hilma pullover from Pom Pom Quarterly and while I had to muddle through without errata, I think it came out pretty beautifully. I don’t know if I’ll wear it; they often end up being gifted. I love making things but I don’t know how to celebrate the things I make. I’m working on it. I’m trying to think differently about myself and not find the flaws in everything I do.
f.o.: regolith.
So this is the third pattern I've knit from the gorgeous Cosmology Collection by Kiyomi and Sachiko Burgin--it's the Regolith hoodie by Kiyomi Burgin and boy it's beautiful.
