Happy Friday + Cowl Haiku

I knit me a cowl
imperfect, “rustic” mayhaps
it will do for now

    I think they look great
    Nice and cosy for cold days
    I like your chair, too!

      Thank you, Marisa! The chair was part of a huge score (2 for $15) and they’re vintage school chairs. I love that a former student (probably) carved his or her initials into the back.

        and you know what? I just realized that you wrote a haiku too!!! So great! (I was finger counting the syllables of course) – am a bit slow today…

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. I’ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and I’m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, I’ve noticed that there’s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: I’ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! 💙💙💙💙💙
