The Hatchery: a blog about my adventures in bird watching

  • The Waiting Game

    I hate waiting. When I want to do a thing, I want to do it NOW. No matter if I have procrastinated previously. Right now, I’ve got the bug to WIND ALL THE YARN. The problem, my winder. When I wound up a bunch of yarn a couple of months ago it was a HASSLE. […]

  • Virtually Normal

    I’ve had a busy couple of days with no real “progress” on my main projects. But its all good stuff! I miss teaching even more than sitting in a cafe alone with a book, my knitting/crochet and a steamy hot soy chai. After 3 months of NOT teaching, I was contacted by one of my […]

  • Process V. Project

    What kind of creator are you? Do you create for the joy of creating or do you create for the desire of a finished project? For the longest time I was a process knitter and a project crocheter. I frequently knit to knit and crocheted when I have something specific (usually a gift) to complete […]

  • Free (Not A)Pattern: C2C Cupcake Throw

    As of this morning, I officially have NO active projects. Old WIPS don’t count, by the way. I finished my C2C blanket for a friend, and it looks AWESOME! The only thing left to do is wash it and mail it! Since learning the C2C technique back in April, this is my 3rd throw/blanket. It […]

  • Fall Design Ramp-Up

    I KNOW. I know. Summer is not even officially upon us here in the northern hemisphere, and here I am thinking ahead to fall pattern releases! But hear me out, because I’m so excited about this project. Much like any other industry, I’ve got to keep my pipeline FRESH. I have some older (unpublished) designs […]

  • The Unassuming Hat

    Have you ever found a pattern that you don’t get bored knitting? Usually I dislike making the same thing twice (or more) but honestly, I’ve knit this hat 4 times already. I have plans to make at least 2 more (similar to the white long brim one). The first two knits of this hat I […]

  • Other Voices: June 2020 Edition

    A couple years ago, somewhere on the internet gave me the idea to read more books by women. I discussed this somewhat in My Life in Books post. I know I usually just talk about my fiber arts on my blog. But reading, books, knowledge, and being an inclusive human are other passions of mine. […]

  • Crossing the Finish Line

    FINALLY, PlumBody to Love is off the needles! Firstly, its impossible to take a good picture of a sweater on yourself to showcase the best attributes. Secondly, it fits about how I expected, although the acrylic yarn is a bit stiff still (still need to wash it up). Thirdly, its SEAMLESS!!! I succeeded in my […]

  • Hopes and Dreams

    Or what I want to accomplish on my summer vacation. This summer is not looking promising for “normal”. Which isn’t a bad thing per se. As my kids get older, I feel over scheduled by mid-summer. I’m a self-proclaimed loner/homebody, so all this “stay at home” recommendation is right up my alley! I think swimming, […]

  • May Recap

    In addition to reading a bunch of books, may has been somewhat creatively productive. I finished my long term WIP “dresser socks”. I finished my Wide Garter Stripe Shawl (#3). I started and REstarted my “PlumBody to Love” top (I’m about to start the front neckline!). I am also working on a hat pattern for […]
