I wasn’t going to post today since it has been a short and wild week BUT I’ve been featured in a couple of different places and have had a lot of new folks coming over to the blog so I wanted to say, HELLO!
Yesterday the Durumi tees I knit for myself and Jellybean were shared on the Pom Pom Magazine Instagram AND on Kay Gardiner of Mason Dixon Knitting’s Instagram with a hope to ‘break the internet’ LOL. I was definitely flattered by the love and excitement over those pieces and my adorable Jellybean. But then to top off a crazy day, my Tecumseh top was featured on the Ravelry homepage.
Needless to say I’ve gotten a lot of messages on Ravelry and Instagram and a ton of traffic coming here, so I just wanted to say hello and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. And in the meantime, I will be working on my Askews Me Shawl this weekend!
Knitting tip, don’t start brioche when you’re sleepy. You won’t read the instructions well. I started this over at lunch yesterday and realized the mistake I was making the night before and now it’s smooth sailing! So cheers to having a happy knitting filled weekend. You guys rock!

Congrats on you well-deserved recognition! Jellybean might need an agent soon.
HAHAHA my girlfriend said that too and my response is that Jellybean does not listen or follow any instructions. She is cute but would be the worst model. LOL
So exciting that others are discovering YOU…
It’s always fun when more folks stop by the blog and want to share and comment 🙂 It makes me really happy to be able to foster a community around something I love so much.
congrats to you on your instant “fame” it couldn’t come to a more deserving knitter!!!! what an exciting time and wait till they meet cher!!! double fame!! keep true to yourself and keep on knitting and sharing. just love love love all your posts!!!!!!!
Thank you 🙂 Cher just wants to sit on sweaters, not wear them. LOL
I’m so happy for you and the attention you’ve received. Your photos deserve to spread around the internet. You always have excellent photos and they show off your work so wonderfully!
Thank you! That means so much, I try to give the best I can with what I’ve got.
I can’t help being smug to have “found” you already! What tonymarkp says is right. Not only are you and your “entourage” really photogenic, your pics always communicate good knitter info about how to handle the techniques you’re showcasing. I’ve so appreciated that and also your openness to comments and questions from those of us working toward our own FOs. You’re the best, DWJ!
HAHAHA I love that you feel smug. And I love connecting with everyone! You guys give me advice and I try to help as much as I can when I know something too. Yarn people are the best people!
The attention is well earned! Your site is the first knitting blog I check every day! Yeah!
Well I thank you so much reading and being a part of the Yards of Happiness.

Love your knitting and glad to find your blog. I’ll be following! You are inspirational!
Thank you and welcome!
Somehow I missed the MDK Instapost , but I read about you in the daily snippet . What a joy to find more little jewels of happiness. Happiness is not a constant state thing, but on the woven ribbon of emotions in time it’s clusters and sparks of joy. Thank you ! I’m going to enjoy reading your blog, your pictures make me smile 😊
I often tell people that sometimes you have to choose joy, it isn’t always the easiest option but it is usually the best. It’s easy to unhappy, choosing to find happiness in the darkest moments is a gift. Thank you for reading!
