Simple, Easy Slippers

Posted on March 2, 2022February 26, 2022by Eliza

When my little Munchkin needed slippers this winter, I tried my hand at knitting them rather than buying a pair that he’ll either decide are uncomfortable or outgrow too quickly. There are a lot of awesome slipper patterns out there, but I hadn’t found any that worked for what I specifically wanted: knit (not crochet) […]

Garter Ridge Baby Blanket

Posted on September 15, 2021September 13, 2021by Eliza

It’s baby blanket time again! One of my dear friends from college is pregnant. She’s had several miscarriages, so we’re all extra excited about this rainbow baby. I chose Lion Brand Feels Like Butta yarn because a) it feels amazing and b) I could make a whole blanket with one skein. It’s not quite as […]

Striped Cardigan

Posted on July 7, 2021July 5, 2021by Eliza

I never follow a pattern exactly as written. I try, but it never works. So last year, when I found a cardigan sweater pattern that I loved, I decided I’d try it. No changes. Well, almost no changes. The pattern was Comfiest Knit Cardigan by Mama in a Stitch. I chose to make a size […]

April Sands

Posted on April 28, 2021April 27, 2021by Eliza

This April, my husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary, and it made me do a lot of reminiscing. We spent our honeymoon in a borrowed beach house in the Outer Banks. While April in North Carolina is warmer than a lot of places (including Vermont, where we got married and had snow), it wasn’t […]

Choose Your Own Adventure Cowl

Posted on March 17, 2021March 10, 2021by Eliza

I had different plans for this yarn, but I second-guessed the yardage needed for that project and decided to make something else with it. A warm, comfy cowl is always a good idea, and this definitely fits the bill. I’ve been wearing it for the past couple of weeks as I wait for spring weather, […]

Ninja Beanie and Cowl

Posted on January 6, 2021January 1, 2021by Eliza

Welcome to 2021! It feels like it’s been a loooong time coming. I know the difficulties of 2020 aren’t totally behind us yet, but I’m hopeful that we can make this a positive year. For my first post of the new year, I’m sharing the Christmas hats that I made for the boys this year. […]

Sideways Pinstripe Hat

Posted on October 28, 2020October 23, 2020by Eliza

I love hats. Some people keep socks on their needles as a quick-win, carry-around-with-them-everywhere project, but I prefer hats. They’re quick and easy, and around here, everyone needs them. I like lightweight hats for spring and fall, heavier hats for the dead of winter, even headbands for when my hair is up. My nephew’s birthday […]

Crochet T-Shirt Rug

Posted on July 22, 2020July 7, 2020by Eliza

The inspiration for this rug goes way back, pre-kids, pre-blog. Every so often I go through a purging phase, where I trash or donate everything that has accumulated that we don’t want or need anymore. I was in one of those phases, sorting through our dressers in our old apartment, and I came across a […]

Zig Zag Rib Charity Block (#14)

Posted on June 10, 2020May 9, 2020by Eliza

Time for another charity block! I had no trouble choosing to try this zig zag rib–it looks so cool! But I expected it to be complicated or at least a little annoying. (I don’t like complex detail work when I’m knitting–you won’t catch me knitting an Aran sweater anytime soon.) As it turns out, I […]

The Hat of Firsts

Posted on May 13, 2020May 4, 2020by Eliza

This is probably the most basic hat I’ve ever made. And that’s ok (basic isn’t bad)–the yarn is what’s important in this case. This yarn tells a story. Several stories, in fact. You see, I spun this yarn myself. I was interning at my local library during college when a local group put on a […]
