I’ve started a new project–a ballerina top for my cousin’s adorable daughter, Hudson. Hence, I’m using a pattern from Zoe Mellor’s appropriately named Adorable Knits for Tots. The yarn I’ve chosen is that great stand-by, Tahki Cotton Classic, in a lovely light mauve color. I really love this yarn, but I think the needle size this pattern requires (size 3) is a bit small for it. The gauge is a little tight, which is leading to a bad case of …. “stockinette curl.” Da Da Dum!!

Chapter One: I am born
The lyf so short, the craft so longe to lerne.
Th’ assay so hard, so sharp the conquerynge,
The dredful joye, alwey that slit so yerne;
Al this mene I be love.
–Geoffrey Chaucer, Parlement of Fowles, l. 1-4
With this blog, I want to share some of my passions, specifically knitting and needlework (especially cross stitch), with occasional forays into other crafts like quilting or paper crafts. I hope you enjoy reading this blog at least as much as I’ve enjoyed creating the projects that inspire it. Please check out my About page for more detailed information about the background and goals of this blog. Thanks for reading!
