My Overpass Cowl pattern was featured on the Spud & Chloë blog. That’s pretty cool.

Watch my video to learn how to make these cute loopy earring for around $4.  I saw a similar pair in a Boston boutique for $60!

I’ve been printing on my antique press for about half a year now. I’ve been meaning to print myself some stationery but other things (like printing my friend’s wedding invitations!) got in the way.
Wednesday night I finally got inspired to get printing. I printed 30 A2 (5.5×4.25) cards with brown ink [...]

I’ve been looking for an iPad case since mine arrived on April 3rd, but the ones I like are all easily over $60. I think that’s pretty ridiculous so I decided to make my own using felt. My total cost was $25!

My new toy is an antique printing press – a Golding Pearl No 11 built in 1909. My dad and brother ventured through an ice storm to help me move the 750lb [...]

I’ve had it in my head that I wanted to design a simple lacy wristwarmer/fingerless glove using some Malabrigo Silky Merino. However I’ve had a hard time coming up with the right lace pattern. Today I finally figured it out and knitted up a sample.  I need to write up the pattern so I can [...]

Here are the very first prints I did all on my own. On the second day of my class we worked independently on a press. In the morning I used the 5×8 Kelsey but the boxcar base on it was too small for my plate. So I ended up using one Amber had which was [...]
