I’m taking a quick break from pie-making to say Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
This weekend, I’m having a sale in the Shop! Everything is 10% off from Friday 11/27 through Monday, 11/30. I’m going to be taking a few days off — so any orders placed during the sale will ship on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll refund [...]

This stuff is, in a word, delicious. It’s my new favorite [...]
It’s almost fall — of course, it’s also the hottest part of the year here in Santa Clara — it was over 100 degrees last weekend –but when I wake up early in the morning and step outside, I can totally feel a tiny little autumnal bite in the air.

Well, Sock Summit is over. Nina and I drove back from Portland on Monday, and I still feel like I’m recovering. Tired as I still am, I think I’m also suffering from a bit of Sock Summit withdrawal. For 4 days, I was a part of this huge, amazing THING, where thousands of knitters gathered [...]
Here’s a small shop update to help get you through Monday.
I did a skein of Souffle Laceweight in this color as a custom skein for Kate, originally, but I loved it so much, I made it into an “official” colorway. Since Sock Summit is coming up in Oregon, I’ve got Oregon on the brain and [...]
