Now

This page is a low-noise update on current projects, reading, and making; without chasing algorithm feeds. Think of it as what I'd tell you if we hadn't caught up in a while and I see you on line at the coffee shop. It's a snapshot of now, not a record of everything, so we'd still have plenty to talk about if we sat down to chat.

Work

little acorn creations keeps me teaching more knitting and crochet than ever, I wrangle two weekly groups, a lot of yarn, and as always patient listening. PSG Studio keeps me focused on small fixes and the pressure points that actually matter.

Reading

With a bookmark: Porcupines, Delicate, The Brass Verdict, Wish You were Here

I devour books constantly. There's always something on my nightstand, in my ears, and checked out digitally. I often max out my library cards and love library used book sales. There’s more books that have placed marked, though I can only read a book or three at a time. See my book reviews.

Making

In my tote bag: artus shawl, literary fragments blanket, mia tee, paimutantea blanket, selbu modern (winter edition), sisterhood blanket project finishing, sunroom blanket

I'm always making something, usually multiple somethings at once. The tote bag holds the active WIPs, there’s many other UFOs in bins in my studio, and there’s a sock in my EDC. Sometimes they’re a UFO for a week or two before they become an active WIP again, or sometimes they sit for years. I’ve found that spindling and weavette squares — things that can happen in quiet moments — are more frequent than time at my wheel or loom. See what's in progress at Penny's Notebook.

I don't play the algorithm game, but I may still post if the mood strikes:
