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. 😉

The mister and I have a new video over ‪@GoodBooksLately‬ 😊

Hey folks—I’m back!

I’ve got my next video in the can (it’s a good one) and I’ll be uploading it this Sunday. I’m really excited for this one — it’s a little quieter, a little more reflective… the kind of topic that lingers...in a good way.

That said, my upload schedule is shifting a bit moving forward! To make more space for family time on the weekends (and to stop spending Sundays editing 😅), I’ll now be uploading new videos on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Nothing about the content is changing — you’ll still see the usual mix of deep dives, project updates, and the occasional midweek ramble—just on slightly new days that make it all a bit more sustainable.

There will also be a Patreon After Show for Sunday’s video that I’m really excited about, because it’s shaping up to be the jumping-off point for another main channel conversation I think you’re all going to love. Thanks for hanging in with me while I took a little Halloween break!

See you Sunday.
