Did you know that champagne wasn’t always served in tall, skinny champagne flutes? A hundred years ago it was served in champagne cups, stemmed glasses with a wide, bowl-shaped top. Short and squat, champagne cups are the visual opposite of champagne flutes, and I absolutely love them. They have such an elegant, vintage charm…and honestly, it’s...

I was first introduced to the concept of a bun break by the Wells & Wong Mystery series by Robin Stevens. A bun break is a short mid-morning (or mid-afternoon) rest period with a rotating selection of baked treats—chelsea buns, or cookies, or perhaps a slice of cake. At my house bun break also includes tea or coffee, and graham crackers are...

When I’m stressed, worried, or anxious, knitting helps to sustain and comfort me. But there’s a hitch- I can’t knit anything that requires too much thought or attention when I’m upset. I need knitting that I can do almost mindlessly, because then the knitting becomes a meditation and allows me to quiet my thoughts.

I recently came across some pictures of beautiful mosaic columns found in the excavation of the ancient Sumerian city of Uruk. Despite having been semi-obsessed with Uruk for years I’d never seen these columns and I was immediately inspired to create a sweater design that paid tribute to them. The body of the Pillars of Uruk sweater has been de...
