Hello little kitten. Thanks for being good at your job and for smiling while doing it.

Under a blanket, watching TV, doing solopreneur stuff as one does. I just love the winter season of being cozy and productive.
These are my LOVE IS LOVE cashmere scarves. They are ready to ship now, just in time for the holidays.
11/28/2022
Ready. Set. Tag! I'll get the fire going in the fireplace, a hot cuppa and will settle in to tag a million cashmere items. It's Holiday season! Who wants a cashmere christmas?

Juggernaut has been banished from snuggling with me on the couch while I knit. He now lurks behind the couch with sad puppy eyes. Not going to work dude.

Loading up Lolly with more yarn. She has been an obedient little knitting machine lately. Which makes up for all the times I was ready to turn her into a boat anchor! Good job Lolly.
11/18/2022
Little miss Lolly has been working up a storm. Cold weather is here and her goal is to knit as many cashmere wraps as she can so I can get them listed. Go Lolly go!
11/16/2022
I just had to. This one sleeve was calling out for a stack of bold stripes. And it worked. I love it.
11/14/2022
She's done! This is Presly. The subtlety of these rainbow stripes make a statement while showcasing softness. This has been one of my favorite sweaters to design. The next step is pattern editing then layout.
11/11/2022
How cute are these rainbow flying yarn ends? I know I need to weave them in, but ... do I really have to?
11/09/2022
Today is my birthday! 51 years I've been on this planet. 35 spent with this man, The Captain. He likes me. We're cute.
11/07/2022
Changed things up a bit on this sweater. I had to add in a navy blue stripe and not use the very light blue. I was happy that I had some dark navy in my stash. Stash diving for the win!
.
And ... come on, look at this sleeve. It's so happy!
11/05/2022
The Presley sweater is coming along nicely! At first, I thought I would want 2 rows of the stripe color but didn't love it and settled on just one row of pop. Super happy with how this is turning out. She will for sure become a hand knitting pattern.
.
Yarn for body is a wool cashmere nylon blend, the color stripe is merino. DK weight.
11/02/2022
Next up ... Presley.
I have some fun plans for these colors on my next sweater!
Muted rainbow? All day baby, all day!

Sometimes I need a reminder. Do you need one today?
Hello gorgeous!
10/29/2022
I forgot to take progress photos of this sweater. Dang it! I guess that is a good sign because it meant I was cruising while knitting her. I knit the yoke by hand and the body on my KH260 brother bulky machine. I am naming this sweater Bernadette.
.
Yarn is a Polwarth wool and Tussah silk blend. Oh my goodness, she feels soft and warm!
.
I think I might turn her into a hand knitting pattern. What do you think?
10/26/2022
Landed on these three colors for my sweater! I already have a great lipstick to match.
10/24/2022
I must be feeling the muted salmon pink colors right now. I came home with this cute pot for my desk. This little plant needs a name. Any suggestions?
10/22/2022
Knitting a sweater for ME!
.
Since I stopped coloring my hair and am now sporting lots and lots of silver, I discovered I can't wear the same colors of clothing I used to. It's been trying and often frustrating finding colors that I feel good in now. Who knew?!!! I have landed on colors in the orangy-red family. These two are muted pinks with a hint of salmon orange. I am adding in a third color that is in the same family but darker. It's going to be pretty!
10/19/2022
I caved in. Kind of.
I promised I would leave this yarn alone until I had a few more knit items finished. oops. But I had an idea for a sweater so I swatched for it. And, I love it. I'll put the swatch away with the rest of the yarn and bring it out when I have finished a few projects.
I can do this right???
10/17/2022
Yep. Feelin' it.
10/15/2022
Still loving this yarn. It is tempting me to cast. But I promised I wouldn't start something new. but but but, I really want to.
10/12/2022
My baby girl. Mayor Pete Buttigieg or "b***y" as we call her.
1. she and I have matching hair.
2. I rescued her from the animal shelter and she is ungrateful.
3. she loves grays and neutrals as much as I do.
4. she adores the Captain and tolerates me.
5. her fur would make really soft yarn.
10/10/2022
A new to me yarn! I am the BEST starter of projects. If there were trophies awarded for -Best Starter Of Knitting Projects-, I would need a second home to showcase them.
I have a post-it note next to my computer that says "finish something first before you start something new". Does it work? No, not hardly ever. But I will put this yarn aside and let it settle in before I dive in. I will.
No promises.
I'll try really hard though.

Me and the Captain. This was an anniversary date night out a while ago to celebrate being together for a super long time. He is gentle, quiet, supportive, kind, adoring and chill. I am one of those things.
10/05/2022
Gold. Sparkly, shiny gold please. My new business cards that double as garment tags are in.

I can't thank the team at Ampersand Studios enough for being the best listeners for what I needed out of a photo shoot then smashing the shoot. Totally smashing it!

When the color palette for your cashmere wraps matches everything you own, you have to keep one in each color for yourself. I have these 100% cashmere wraps up on the website right now, coming to Amazon soon!
Oversized so you can wrap them around your shoulders yet lightweight enough to be worn cozy up around your neck. Winter is coming, who's ready?!!!

Piles of cashmere knits. This is a good life.

Make a statement!
I've been working on these designs for a while now and I get emotional every time I make one. This Statement Scarf says the words "LOVE IS LOVE". I believe we are all worthy of love and I am proud to stand with my friends and family in the LGBTQ+ community.

Come on cool weather, I am rooting for you! All I want to do is wrap up in softness.
This is my Claire Wrap Scarf in color Mauve.
