Hello All! Full disclosure: I’m still not entirely happy with my talk about “Beyond Beautiful” by Anuschka Rees. I think my expectations of the book are too strongly shadowing my opinion of it, but, alas, there you have it. Perhaps I’ll sit with it a bit and then revisit this introduction to body neutrality.

There will be a limited sewn-to-order update tonight (9pm eastern) in the shop. I love this shibori inspired cotton/linen slub. I can’t stop thinking of delicious swimming pools when I see it. (Hanging them next to my tomatoes for a moment as they could use some cool water vibes too!)

Holy Hannah!!! I just noticed I have been reading Melissa’s Ravelry name incorrectly this whole time! I missed an entire syllable!

Hello all! Thanks to the awesome folks who contribute financially to the show, I have another bonus episode for you.

This won’t be a regular episode as I’ll be talking exclusively about my recently finished Magpie Tendency designed by Melissa Alexander-Loomis.
I’ll talk a little about the adaptations I made, my thoughts on styling the garment, and whether or not I would knit this sweater again.

Thank you so much!
