The Journal
Notes on making things by hand: technique, materials, and the case for doing it slowly. Written for knitters, not at them.
How to choose a project you'll actually finish
The right first knitting project isn't the simplest one. It's the one that holds your interest long enough to teach you something.
How to read a knitting pattern before you cast on
Knitting patterns follow a consistent logic, and once you see the structure, the notation stops feeling like a puzzle.
What blocking does (and why it's worth the wait)
Blocking is the step between finishing and wearing. It evens your tension, opens the stitches, and gives a handknitted piece its final shape.
Why the swatch is the pattern
Before you cast on, your swatch tells you whether the pattern's numbers will work for you and how to fix them if they don't.
One garment, worn for years
One carefully chosen, well-knitted garment will outlast a dozen rushed ones. The time you spend making it is part of what makes it worth wearing.
