Introducing: The Designer Subscription Box from Knit1!

Although Sock Pals signups have closed, you can still treat yourself to something yarny from Knit 1! I'm so pleased to be one of 4 designers in the inaugural subscription box for 2021, which you can pre-order here! Not only will you save $20 just for signing up early, you'll also get a surprise BONUS box of goodies during the year. Oh joy!

There will be 4 boxes which will be mailed (or available for in-store pickup) in January, April, July & October 2021. Each one will include exclusive knitting patterns, supplies (including Knit 1 yarn) for the exclusive project, plus fun notions. If you live in Chicago, you can pick up in-store, and if you aren't local you have the option to get each one delivered right to your doorstep. There will be an option to order individual boxes when they come out, if you don't want to commit to a full year's subscription...but if you buy the full year right now during the pre-sale, you'll get some nice extras and perks!

Each designer gets to pick a charity to spotlight, and proceeds from sales of the box will be donated to that charity. For October, I'll be designing a sock pattern to honor the memory of my cousin Collin, who took his life in March of this year. I've chosen the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a non-profit which has a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, meaning that they are super-transparent about how the money they raise is spent, with the majority of funds going towards programming (82.3%, to be exact). Not only do they fund research, education and advocacy in order to understand and prevent suicide, they also have campaigns to help at-risk people as well as those impacted by suicide.

I hope you'll check out the other fabulous designers who will be contributing to the 2021 series, and maybe even subscribe! Click here to learn more on the Knit 1 Chicago website.

Easy DIY: Beaded Vintage Snowflake Ornament Kits from Solid Oak Inc.

I was really excited to step outside of my comfort zone and try something new as part of my "Christmas in July" theme this month. The kind folks at Solid Oak Inc offered me a chance to review one of their Nostalgic Christmas beaded crystal ornament kits I couldn't resist. My tree is already full of ornaments I've inherited or been gifted from other family members and friends, so these pretty crystal beaded ornaments will fit right in I think! I was super impressed with this compact little kit , which includes everything needed to create three gorgeous vintage-style ornaments - just add a pair of round nose pliers (I found mine on Amazon for less than ten bucks). The instructions had some fabulous tips for newbies like me; for example, it recommended sorting the beads and laying them out in order on a towel or beading mat to prevent them from rolling away. That may seem obvious, but I was totally ready to start beading on my kitchen table without a

What If I Didn't Add Heels?

Last weekend, I finished the first sock with my Waterlilies yarn , and just for yuks, I tried it on even though it was basically just a tube sock. Much to my surprise, it fit really well, even without a heel. Who knew? So, that got me thinking: what if I just didn't add the heels? I never thought a tube sock would actually fit nicely, but I genuinely like the fit, so...why spend time to add the heels? As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.... Let's say I decide not to add heels once the second sock is done - there will still be placeholder yarn for the afterthought heels, as you can see above, so should I leave it in and just weave in the ends? Or should I remove it, put the live stitches back on needles and at least graft them together using more of the Waterlilies yarn? I plan on mulling all of this over as I knit the second sock, and I'd love to hear your opinions of what you think would look best (or if you think this whole "n

Overdyeing A Finished Knit

Even after just a few years of knitting or crocheting, you're bound to have some finished projects lying around that never get worn or used. After 10+ years of crafting, I have more than just "some" or "a few"....and with my ongoing quest to declutter my house this year, I've become obsessed with going through these forlorn projects and making some Big Decisions. Sometimes, they are perfectly fine and just need a new and loving home. Other projects may have not turned out quite right: there might have been some mistakes in the knitting that I thought I could live with, or the yarn was gorgeous but not well-matched to the pattern, or my taste has drastically changed since I finished making the project...in any case, why on earth did I keep knitting?! Who knows, but I don't feel good about gifting anything that falls into this category to someone else. These projects have been relegated to the "frog pile" (or should I say, frog pond?), to b
