Where should I start? I have so much to blab about today, but I'll try to be quick because I'm leaving soon for an Arne and Carlos colorwork class, FUN, and I'm sure you have a busy Saturday too! But first, the blanket--I started this two years ago when I was determined to use up my years of leftovers, and use them up I did, this being my 5th blanket made of scraps!

I've shown many pictures of my home, but you all love my sewing room the best. I know how you feel because I'm the same way; I love when makers show their creative spaces. I've made a few changes since I last shared it, so come on in and let's poke around!

Today I have the sweetest little sweater knitted from the dearest vintage pattern I own. I'm sure that as a knitter you are very familiar with cabled owls, but do you want to know the story behind them? And how this pattern has been knitted for decades, and more likely 100 years or more? Knitters have been manipulating stitches into cables to resemble owls for a long long time and while no one has been able to accredit the design to any one person, it took one shop owner to finally write the pattern down for knitters around the world to enjoy.
