...Short knitting needles, especially short interchangeable circulars—often called shorties—are one of those tools that many knitters are curious about but hesitate to buy. I was in exactly that spot when I decided to try an affordable short knitting needle set from Temu and test it on a real project: the sleeves of my Nia Sweater. […]

How to Declutter a Closet When It Feels Too Overwhelming to Start
...I’ve written about decluttering before—general tips about a year and a half ago, and a more detailed post on reorganizing my skincare products last year. Both came from wanting less visual noise and fewer things to manage. But one space I kept avoiding was my closet. Life got busy. Clothes piled up, bags stayed tucked […]

DIY Yarn Sample Cards: An Easy Way to Keep Track of Your Yarn
...As your yarn stash grows, it gets harder to remember what you already have. The ball band disappears, the project you bought it for is long finished, and all that’s left is a vague memory of how the yarn felt. You might remember that it was soft, or that it had good stitch definition, but […]

Everything I Knit in 2025: 15 Projects and Lessons Learned
...When I look back at everything I knit in 2025, what I remember most isn’t how many pieces I completed, but how often I paused to adjust, rethink, and change course.

...As we were getting ready for our last family trip of 2025, I found myself worrying about something I thought I had mostly moved past—cravings for flour-heavy foods.

Knitting a Balaclava with Aran Yarn: A Cozy Korean-Fit Winter Project
...Balaclavas are funny projects. They look simple enough that you might think you already know how they’ll turn out, but once you actually start wearing one, the details suddenly matter much more than expected. How dense the stitches feel, how heavy the piece becomes, and even how the ties behave can make the difference between […]

Uni-ball One P Refill Compatibility: The Best Gel Pen Setup with Signo
...Do you have a pen you feel oddly attached to — the one you reach for whether you’re journaling, making lists, sketching, or traveling? For me, that used to be my Pentel EnerGel pen in 0.38mm.

Is JLPT Worth It? My Honest Reflection One Year After Passing N1
...The JLPT season rolled around again recently, and as always, my feed filled up with reactions — “Was the listening okay?”, “Reading felt impossible!”, “Why was the grammar so tricky this year?” And right alongside those reactions, I saw the same question pop up from people who are still deciding whether to start studying: “Is […]

Knitting Journal Notion Template: Your Complete Knitting Tracker

Morning Pages Prompts: 100-Day Journaling Challenge (Free Download)
...If you’ve been doing morning pages for a while, you might recognize this moment. You sit down, open your notebook, and start writing—but the words feel… familiar. Not in a comforting way. In a déjà vu way. That’s exactly where I found myself. I originally wanted my morning pages to stay simple. Just a few […]

Bottom-Up Cardigan Knitting FO: My First Fall Project
