In 2022, I cast on my very first sweater—an ambitious project in a cozy palette of burnt orange, olive green, and denim-blue yarns. I was excited, but then illustration gigs piled up, personal stuff got in the way, and the half-finished sweater ended up tucked away in a tote bag and barely saw the lights.

Last month, I returned to it. Picking up those needles again felt like reconnecting with an old friend. This episode is a heartfelt celebration of my journey as a knitter and crocheter since 2007. I’ll be sharing my favorite knitting tools and fun-facts from the world of fiber arts in this month’s Mineral House. Are you ready to cast on with me?
