This hood was a spur of the moment project, and writing it up feels like a spur of the moment post. But there were some cold stretches this winter where I live, where a hat and scarf just didn’t feel like enough. So I wanted to make myself something warmer that I could layer over […]

Twist and Shout Scarf
Anyone else a fan of matching sets? I’ve never actually owned any, but I have this unrequited dream. So when I made the Twist and Shout Hat, I figured there also should be a Twist and Shout Scarf. Because, matching. The measurements for this scarf are pretty fluid, especially in regards to length, because you […]
Diamonds and Ice
Usually when I release a new pattern, I like to share the story behind it… except that this pattern doesn’t have much of a story. I was gifted the Ella Rae yarn a while ago (it is a really pretty ice blue in person, though the color doesn’t show well in my photos), and I […]
April Sands
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
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, […]

So I’ll start at the end, or maybe somewhere in the middle, and work my way around. Midnight […]
Easy Color Block Brioche Scarf
I won’t deny, brioche looks complicated. That’s why I chose a scarf as my first project—it’s straight, there’s no shaping, nothing complicated to mess around with, I could just learn the stitches and practice, practice, practice. I love the colors of the Caron Cakes, and how they change, making color blocks without me having to […]
Eva Scarf
Show of hands: whose favorite season is fall? *raises hand* I love fall. To be fair, I just love living in a place with four distinct seasons—I love each snowfall, I love watching the flowers come out in the spring, I love the sunny days and even the thunderstorms of summer. But I […]
Stockinette Stitch Scarf
*This post contains affiliate links.* A stockinette stitch scarf is very simple to make once you know how to knit and purl. You will need: Yarn (any size or type) Needles (whatever size is recommended for your yarn or that gives you the gauge you want) I used Bernat Blanket yarn in Country Blue and size 15 needles for […]
