Hey, everyone! My name’s Kaitlyn, and I’ve decided to start a blog dedicated to two of my favorite activities – fiber crafts and travel.
I’m 32, live in the greater DC area, and today you’re joining me as I travel home for the holidays.
Current Location: Portsmouth, NH
My hometown. Center of my nostalgia, neuroses, and deeply conflicted feelings!
Personal feelings aside, it’s a lovely, classic New England seaside town with a charming downtown area, great restaurants and shopping, and easy access to the beach.
As a local, I can tell you the best food is at Gilly’s and The Friendly Toast is overrated.
Current project(s)
Wedding Shawl in Burnish from Purl Soho
Yarn: Cloudborn Superwash Merino in Ocean
Needles: Circular Knit, Size 5, 16”
Don’t tell anyone, but this was meant to be a gift for my sister. However, I haven’t finished it yet. Fortunately for me, her birthday’s in January, although I’m deeply concerned that it won’t be finished then either.
I had a couple of setbacks where I had to rip out the entire thing and restart, but then I learned about these amazing little things called lifelines, and have since charged ahead fearlessly!
This is a free crochet pattern from Lion Brand that I’ve had a lot of fun working on.
Yarn: Loops and Threads in Forest
Hooks: Crochet 10
Not even close to being finished, and was also originally intended to be a Christmas present. (You will quickly learn this is a running theme with me.)
Up Next:
Join me next month when I travel to Iceland (fingers crossed) and make my first attempt at knitting a sock! (And also, of course, continue to work on my WIPs, because I would never just start half a dozen different projects and take forever to finish them!)
Have Yarn, Will Travel
