Conversations with & Alterations to Winston Pullover

Inspired by the #WinstonKAL I knit the Winston Pullover and took quite a few liberties. I highly encourage it! Talking to the pattern isn’t a requirement. Also, it went on and off my needles in less than a week!

I Peaked

Want to experience your knitting the best way I know? Take it outside with you! My knitting and I hiked to the peak of a mountain on Kodiak, Island (my husband and dog in tow). The stitches I knit into my shawl serve as a memory marker I get to keep. Why not let me tell you about it…

Refresh

Over the last ten+ years, I have enjoyed blogging, video podcasting, audio podcasting…all the things to connect with You! When I am not online I am still always writing, always knitting & sometimes making up knitting patterns and hiking all over my lovely island home.

You can knit a sweater. Or have an adventure. Or both. Let's do both!

Knit your first sweater or your 50th sweater. Sweater knitting and Kodiak, Alaska, yarn ideas and free patterns are just some things in the year ahead. Be sure to get your free knit hat pattern!
