A September 2026 Life and Creative Update
Hi everyone! As many of my readers may have noticed, I’m been really quite online for the past few months. Even though I haven’t published posts, I have been watching my social media profiles and blogs. I just haven’t felt up to posting as much as I normally do. Since I’ve been so quite, I decided to write a short post about how I’m doing and what I’m working on.

My New Knitted Dish Cloths and What I Think About them
Hi everyone! I have another finished knitting project to show and talk about! Last year, I decided to knit myself dishcloths. I knitted dish clothes before, but it’s been a while since I did. I knew I would be under a lot of stress in the later half of last year and earlier this year, so I wanted an easy to knit project that comes together fast and allows me to knit while doing something else, such as watch TV.

I felt confident to make one free hand (Without planning out the pattern before I started to knit) so I took the yarn I used to make the original cozy and began to work on it again. This new version, which I call version 1, does fit, but there are things I wanted to change before I was finally satisfied with the way the pattern is. I changed everything I didn’t like for version 2, which ended up turning out so well, it…

Failing to Knit a Hot Water Bottle Cozy (And My Plans to Fix It)
Hi everyone! Months ago, I decided to knit myself new clothes, accessories, and home decor items that I want to use. I already owned items made with knitted fabric, but they are either white or a pale color and not washable. I had serious concerns about them getting dirty, so I decided to knit myself some new items using machine washable yarn and use them instead. One of the first items I wanted to make was a hot water bottle cozy. I found a pattern online for a cozy I liked and began to knit it. From the first time I read the pattern, I had my doubts about how…
