Life Lately.
I signed up for a knitting class and I'm finally learning how to knit! It will be so great to have such a small and contained craft.
I've been spending money on sample sales instead of saving up for Christmas presents. Whoops. Shirts from Steven Alan and Built by Wendy.
Patterns, patterns, patterns. All day long I'm drafting patterns, working on new projects, and finishing up school work.
I've been wearing cozy, mis-matched things in the comfort of my home.

So fun to knit right? I took a class last winter and now I'm knitting away. It's really relaxing to pick up for a few minutes everyday and feel like you accomplished something.
Knitting is so fun! I haven't done much of it lately but perhaps this winter I'll pick it up again. And I've been spending my Christmas pressie money on things I shouldn't be too hehe
hello! not a first time here, but a first time comment :) i would love to enter a knitting class so much! your picture just makes me want to pick up some material and start knitting.... though i don't know how! :) and btw, the mis-match part... so good! take care, twiggs
personally, I think mis-matched is the perfect way to go
i'm always so pleased to hear people have taken up knitting. it's the most fabulously relaxing hobby and i am a little but obsessed - as you can see from my blog!
What ya knitting, Whit? A scarf to start? I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you'll be making in no time at all :) I haven't knitted in a couple years...but I think I may have the urge again after seeing your post! Miss + Love ya <3 Emz
I love every one of these photos. I would love to learn to knit, but I know I don't have the time to commit to it right now.
Oh, and I love your purchases!! Amazing.
i love your shoes/slippers! i have a bunch of flats and have started wearing crazy patterned socks with them too cause my feet are too cold but the shoes are cute!

All winter long I only wear crazy patterned slippers and socks around the house. With the weather being so gloomy outside, having colourful feet really cheer you up!
I totally have those SmartWool socks in red AND green. Absolute necessity this time of year.
mismatched just fine !!!
i have set my mind on knitting a scarf, just need to find someone to get me started. maybe a class wouldn't be a bad idea :)
Yay! I'm glad you're learning to knit! I crochet and it's such a fun little hobby :) Have fun!
You got a really nice blog... I just discovered few days ago ñ_ñ

ooooh knitting......yes please! :) not really the weather for it just at the moment in australia, but that doesn't stop the determined!
big fan of the super-cute socks too ;P
Knitting! Me too... must be the time of year. Check out https://www.ravelry.com/
found you via a photo posted on pinterest.com and am poking around here -- love your photography!
But HAD to comment about your idea of knitting being contained LOL -- it will take over your life, your closets, your drawers, challenge you for storage space but hey -- there are worse things in life (from a fellow knitter). And hopefully you've heard of Ravelry.com, too!! Cheers!
