The Blog of Making Stuff
An old-school craft blog since 2022.
FOlio Fest: Warm Hats, Warm Hearts
I am rounding the year out with FOlio Fest, 12 blog posts over the next four weeks which will combine both my love of hats with an attempt to bring awareness to nonprofit organizations helping displaced and/or unhoused people.
The FOlio: Peplum Swag Jacket
My first major alteration of a pattern – and likely the one that started me on my way towards tech editing.
The FOlio: Dance of the Needles, or an Ode to Knitty
It was the perfect yarn for the pattern … if I got creative with my color blocking.
The FOlio: Fox Paws
Knitting Fox Paws taught me that it’s okay to frog, and sometimes it might be the best thing to get to the FO you actually want.
