It’s knitting season! Feeling invigorated by the chill in the air and the changing colors of leaves, I have been finishing projects and have lots of ideas about what to cast on next. In anticipation of the upcoming New York Sheep & Wool Festival, I have talked to some of my favorite vendors and prepared a segment filled with special things to look for this year.
The Back Porch
Can you believe it’s finished? I’m still getting my head around it. Hope was kind enough to snap this photo of me wearing Yell when I visited Hope’s Favorite Things to drop off printed patterns of Forest Floor socks.
COMING SOON!

The Forest Floor sock pattern will be available for purchase on Friday, October 4th. Check out the beautiful versions of this design knit by my test knitters.
Receive a $2 discount on any of my sock patterns when you use the code “socktober19” at checkout. I pledge to contribute one dollar from each sock pattern sold in October to SoulFire Farm.
Post-steek try-on of Yell. You can see from this photo how much weaving in of ends there was to do!
My me-made shower curtain turned out great. For some befores and afters of the bathroom renovation project, check out this IG post. Thank you to everyone who congratulated Samuel and me on our hard work.
Mom gave me some tips on pattern matching for the plaid skirt on my re-drafted, maxi-length Farrow dress. I’m also planning to sew a shower curtain with fabric that will hopefully arrive this week!
After a break during some blazing hot weather, I’ve returned to knitting on my Yell cardigan. Thank goodness. I’ve also started a new project with some handspun from stash, and I talk about my TdF spin and sewing projects. Plus, an August poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. It’s all in this week’s episode. Enjoy.
The pattern is the Camber Set by Merchant & Mills. The fabric is salvaged from a Pier 1 Shibori Throw on deep discount. I modified the dress by shortening slightly and adding side vents.
