I’ve been working in Portland this week and am now on my way home. One of my favorite things to do when I have time at the airport is check out the featured art exhibits. I’ve seen some incredible artwork by some very talented artists. Pictured here is the beautiful feltwork ‘Moontain Goat’ by Xander Griffith, and the incredible book excavations by James Allen.

Hush Hush is the very first pattern I ever designe

Hush Hush is the very first pattern I ever designed, a #vintagestyle 1920s inspired nightie, that appeared in the Sex And The Knitty issue of @knittymag back in 2005. Hush Hush is still one of my favorite designs and I’m super proud of it! And it’s a free pattern! Check it out! Link in bio.

I just listed this #laurawheeler vintage crochet pattern in my #vintageetsystore @oldpittshomestead but I can’t stop thinking about it! I might just have to make it before I sell the pattern! I’m thinking a nice soft neutral color...almond white or gray? What do you think? .

This is only an attractive instagram-sized samplin

This is only an attractive instagram-sized sampling of what I’ve got on the needles right now. I’m stash-busting (because, space for new yarn), redesigning, designing, testing and swatching! I’m so excited to share some of my new designs with you...but first I have to finish them. So many stitches, so little time! .

We’ve had a bit of an aphid and scale problem in

We’ve had a bit of an aphid and scale problem in our garden this year, so last night, we added some new ladybug and praying mantis residents. Lady bugs and praying mantises are voracious pest eaters and a natural, safe and organic way to keep gardens pest and chemical free. And aren’t they so cute, too?

Sometimes I wish yarn companies offered swatch-siz

Sometimes I wish yarn companies offered swatch-sized skeins of yarn. Just enough to work a 4” x 4” swatch or 1” in the round in a variety of stitches. I love the color of this yarn, and it was beautiful in this stitch pattern, but it was so hard to work with and kept splitting and falling apart. And now I regret buying so much of it. Also, impulse yarn shopping is always a bad idea. But ball winding is always fun! 😜
