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 […]

Snowballs in Hogsmeade

Posted on October 13, 2020October 13, 2020by Eliza

Snowballs in Hogsmeade—for sale now on Ravelry You may know this already, but I’m a bit of a Potterhead. I love the Harry Potter books, and whenever I reread them I remember what a brilliant writer Rowling is. I’ve shared Hogwarts house-themed charity blocks and a Harry Potter pattern roundup. And don’t even ask about […]

Moss Stitch Charity Block (#15)

Posted on September 30, 2020September 28, 2020by Eliza

I love trying out new stitch and color patterns on my blocks for Warm Up America, but sometimes I like going back to the basics: those old familiar stitches that don’t require thought. This is one of them. It’s usually called moss stitch, but recently I’ve also heard it called double seed stitch. It’s really […]

WIP Wednesday (Summer 2020 Edition)

Posted on August 5, 2020July 20, 2020by Eliza

Time to try another WIP Wednesday post. I’ll start with some finished projects that I haven’t shared yet. I finally finished and sent this Settlers of Catan baby blanket to our game-loving friends. (You can see it in-progress in the last WIP post.) Their daughter is 7 months old now. (I got it there within […]

T. Rex Hat

Posted on July 8, 2020June 16, 2020by Eliza

I’m finally getting around to posting the second of my boys’ Christmas hats. (If you missed Little Bear’s Stormtrooper Hat, check it out!) Munchkin loves dinosaurs, and when I asked what kind of hat he’d like, he very quickly voted for a T. Rex. There are two ways to knit this hat—you can knit it […]

10 Knit Summer Tops

Posted on June 24, 2020June 11, 2020by Eliza

Summer vacation does not mean it’s time to stop knitting! (You knew that already, though, right?) Summer means lighter knits and cute summer tops, and I have a roundup of both! These summery tops are the perfect lightweight projects for sunny weather. Tanks Tejela by Tanja Loumai Balta by Gudrun Johnston Woodstock by DROPS Design […]

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 […]

Brioche Knitting Patterns

Posted on April 15, 2020April 10, 2020by Eliza

A year or two ago, everyone’s list of New Year’s knitting resolutions included learning to knit brioche. Did yours? How did the knitting go—did you try brioche? Did you love it? If you haven’t tried it yet and you want to try something easy, start with my Easy Color Block Brioche Scarf. It’s super simple […]
