Hi friends!

I just wanted to take a sec and say thank you for the really kind response to my Sea Silk video. I’m genuinely honored that so many of you enjoyed that little deep dive (pun absolutely intended). I loved making it, and I really love exploring these fiber arts adjacent topics here on the channel, so hearing that you’re enjoying them means a lot to me.

I’m still working my way back through the comments over there, but I wanted to say thank you right here as well.

Also, I’m going to take a short break from filming this week. This weekend I got knocked sideways by what I can only describe as an allergy fueled head cold situation (it's so unseasonably warm that my histamines just don't know if they're coming or going), and it took me out more than I expected. So I’m using this week to rest, get my feet back under me, keep developing a couple videos I have in the works, and get caught up on my Year of Hats knitting.

I’ve got some really fun ideas coming, and I’m excited to share them with you soon.

❤️

This week I’m keeping it to one video and it goes up tomorrow 🎥
It’s a bit of an undertaking on the editing side, and I’m also juggling a couple of Fiber for the People (FFTP) yarn drops this week, so I’m pacing myself.

If you want a little extra to go with tomorrow’s video, the accompanying Patreon video is already up and ready to watch, along with a bunch of other goodies over there.

Happy Sunday everyone! I’m sitting in my cozy chair with a cup of coffee and my knitting and wanted to let y’all know that if you’re new here and are also a reader, my husband Branden and I host a book podcast here on YouTube over at ‪@GoodBooksLately‬

During a recent evening Pepper walk (Pepper is our doggo), we decided that a great way to describe our approach to the channel is that we “read serious books, but we are not serious people”…it’s quite fitting. So come check us out! We have a new video coming today at 8 AM PST.

🧵 Bonus Menswear Knitting Deep Dive (Patreon)

I’ve shared a two-part bonus series (over 2 hours total) over on Patreon all about how to analyze menswear sweater patterns directly from the Ravelry pattern page so you can cast on with confidence.

We look at proportion, fit, sleeve length, torso length, ribbing, shoulders, and overall design using five randomly selected menswear patterns, with takeaways that apply to any pattern—not just menswear.

Both parts are up now on Patreon if you’d like a slower, more detailed deep dive.

Merry Christmas, friends. ❤️
And happy holidays to those of you celebrating in different ways.

I hope today (or this season) gives you a pocket of quiet; a warm drink, a soft place to land, something familiar on the needles or in your hands. Whether it’s loud and joyful or slow and reflective, I hope it feels kind.

Thank you for being here this year; for watching, listening, thinking along with me, and for making this space feel like a real community rather than just a comment section. That still means a lot to me.

Wishing you warmth, rest, and a little creative spark wherever you can find it.
See you on the other side of the holidays. 🎄✨

For my fellow knitters who also love a good book (or at least a good idea of a book)

Over on Good Books Lately, Branden and I are reacting to five of the most talked-about books of 2025 and asking whether the synopsis actually makes us want to read them.

Think pattern descriptions, but make them literary. Some are clear. Some are… not.

If you like a little skepticism with your recommendations, you might enjoy this one.

Hi y'all! Today's video is coming tomorrow morning-ish. We're taking the boys on an impromptu Christmas shopping excursion this evening and I just can't finish the editing in time. It's a fun one that I think you'll love so stay tuned! See you tomorrow!

I’m traveling with my family this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, so things will be a little quieter here for the next few days. If you’re celebrating, I hope you have a good, steady stretch of time with the people you love. And if you’re not observing the holiday, I’m wishing you a smooth and satisfying end to November all the same.

I’ll be back next week!
❤️

Quick update on yesterday’s video that… didn’t happen.

I actually had a full video filmed, edited, and ready to go...and an After Show...and then, during the final pass, I realized I’d somehow managed to talk about the topic without actually saying everything I meant to say.

(Shocking, I know.)

So instead of forcing it onto the channel half-baked, I decided to hold off and keep developing the bigger version of the idea. But the two early drafts are now posted over on Patreon as free posts for anyone who follows the page.

If you’d like to see where the idea started...not including several parts I cut that shall remain on the cutting room floor (maybe I'll patch those parts together later 🤔)... and the After Show that goes with it — both videos are here:

You don’t need to be a paid member. Just follow the page and they’re right there.

Thanks for your patience while I let this one simmer.
New main-channel video coming soon.
It’ll be worth the extra cook time. 😉

❤️
