Your Season to Shine. Your Season to Shine. What to Do When You Can’t Protect Them. July 2, 2015. Life has ahold of my babies. Each year it pulls them out from under my wing with a little more insistence and a little less apology. As much as I’d like to keep them near the nest, at 8, 10, 14 and 20, I’m doing way less safekeeping. Than I am crisis intervention, damage control and wound tending. I’ll be honest, some days I actually want. Though letting them go feels unnatural, the truth is,. I can’t protec...

March 9, 2015. So, the stash toss had a variety of benefits. First and foremost, it satisfied my ‘I am being overwhelmed by all my things and must throw them all away to reclaim any semblance of sanity’ urge (this urge falls upon me with alarming frequency). Second, it made a whole lot of extra room in my closet. And third, it allowed for some serious advance planning. You know I’ve been bringing early patterns back out ( Cataphyll. Are recent sock returns, and Plicate. Blue Moon Fiber Arts. I sort of wa...

Peaceable Liberal: July 2015

http://peaceableliberal.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. Back to the Beginning. My first knitting project was a washcloth. I still maintain that's a great first project. It's small, uses only knit stitches, can be jazzed up as you gain more skills, and washes dishes extremely well regardless of how misshapen it may be. (And it may be very misshapen, as my first washcloth. Recently a friend asked for some washcloths. I eagerly went to the basket of cotton yarn I keep for just such occasions and cast on. First, I did a leaf one. I'm just a...

Michelle, ma belle. tres bien ensemble. Michelle, ma belle. Polka Dots and Moonbeams. As promised, I'm back to share more of my new uniform pieces. Even though I've sewn piles of the same garments, I tried to keep variety at play. The most obvious way I have variety is that I chose different fabrics for each iteration. While I'm certainly not opposed to the idea of owning a dozen black Archers (maybe next time! I've long loved the sleeve Adey's vintage blouse. I was a little stumped when it came time to ...

Michelle, ma belle. tres bien ensemble. Michelle, ma belle. Eight Days a Week. A couple months ago, I got it in my head that I would stop dreaming about having a closet full of Archers. And make them. I pulled a pile of fabrics off my shelves and started cutting. If we hang-out on Instagram, you may have seen. The madness. While I was at it, I also cut out a pile of shift dresses using the same vintage McCall's pattern. In truth, I'm a very boring dresser- Normcore. Who knows, I might find more favorite ...

Point @ Violently Domestic

http://violentlydomestic.com/2015/08/10/point

August 10, 2015. I distinctly remember, back when I was a new knitter, wondering why on earth people had so many knitting needles. I could understand having different sizes. Though I secretly suspected that you could probably make size 2 act like size 1 if you just pulled extra tight or like size 3 if you just kept your yarn a bit loose…I mean how much difference could a half a millimeter really make? I totally love the idea, and addis are always marvelous quality. I adore aluminum needles because th...

Michelle, ma belle. tres bien ensemble. Michelle, ma belle. LBD Blue Gardenia Vintage Pattern Giveaway. One of the most basic and essential items of clothing a girl keeps in her closet is the little black dress. The LBD. Made famous by Coco Chanel, is the type of classic that transcends trends and remains steadfast. And, if you're like me and just love wearing black, it's the perfect excuse to dress in mono. This project started the same way my Ulyana inspired maxi skir. After reviewing my dresses board,.
