Welp, here’s where I’m starting from on my journey into spinning. Looks more like modern art than yarn! It’s humbling to be a beginner at something. I have a long road of learning ahead.

Time for a dip!

Knit for my graduation in

06/10/2026

I finally walked across the stage with a degree to my name and wearing my most special knit to date!

Warning!! Sappiness incoming!!

I started knitting in my first semester of university, so it feels incredibly full circle to have made my graduation dress to celebrate the journey that brought me here.

When I first started university 6 years ago, I was at a different school, in a different program, and still had so much to discover about the world and myself. While I learned many lessons in the classroom and through the grit it takes to complete a degree while navigating the many seasons and responsibilities of life, knitting has been a constant companion and one of the greatest teachers throughout it all.

What began with a few stitches in blue and gray bulky weight acrylic yarn has opened my mind and heart in ways I never could have expected. Through knitting, I’ve met so many kind and uplifting friends, explored the depths of my creativity, tested my patience, been introduced to people, communities, ideas, and knowledge I may never have encountered otherwise, and been a source of reflection, meditation, and joy.

This dress is a testament to a craft and a community that I love so dearly ❤️

Now… what to cast on next?

Spring greens (& yellows) fleece dye with friends taught by the lovely 🌟

This was my second time playing around with natural dyes and I learned so much! What better way to spend a Saturday than outside in great company playing chemist with wool and plants.

🐑 fleece deets: Barnston Island Wool - Rosemary (gray fleece) & Peasblossom (white fleece)

🌿 plant dye deets: tansy & goldenrod leaves and stems, which both made gorgeous yellow colours! We tested out adding iron to some bits of the fleece for more of a green hue.

Excited to be part of this! 💗🐑🌿

Grad dress update video is on its way soon! School’s been kicking my butt these days… For now, here’s the mini update: waist & hip shaping is complete and fits pretty dang good! Pleats of the skirt are making some headway and the M1R/M1L increases are sooo dreamy to see work up.

Some things I knit in 2022 ✨

I can’t show everything because I did knit a lot of gifts in 2022, but this year I plan to knit a lot more for myself 🤭

Some of my goals for 2023 knitting is to knit with new kinds of fibres, support more smaller/lesser known designers (would love some recommendations!), and knit many more accessories using up stash. I don’t necessarily have a set number of projects I would like to knit or specific amount of yarn I would like to use because I feel like that would put too much pressure on me and my creative process. Like .bymandy alway says, “we👏are👏not👏being👏stressed👏about👏our👏hobbies👏”
