stash, knit, repeat

Fondling yarn since 2003.

Busy Bees

That’s what we are around here, anyway. The same old stuff, just a different month.

I’m excited about my knitting, though. I’ve been obsessed with it since taking the hobby back up nearly 8 (!) years ago now, but the fiber arts have rarely been as fulfilling as in this last year. It’s so soul-renewing and rewarding to be truly creative in this way. Lots has been said, by those more eloquent than I, at the wonder and beauty of this particular online community. But I wanted to take a moment to say thank you, for being here, for your incredibly inspiring creative pursuits, for your comments, for your reception of Arm Candy.

I’m in the midst of my next (few) design(s), but when a baby came early recently a toy needed to be immediately produced. Since it’s still en route to the recipient, I won’t share details yet, but it’s pretty adorable. Since I can’t show you the toy, how about a peek at February’s design? The test knitters are nearing completion, and I hope to release the pattern in a couple of weeks.

Happy knitting!
