Yarn Thing
I’m going to be interviewed on a live podcast on Thursday! Eek.
Yup. Marly, Yarn Thing, will be chatting me up on the air on Thursday afternoon at 4 pm Mountain time. I’m excited, scared, nervous, honored, totally blown away… I’ve never done anything like this before. It’ll be fun. (It’s my new mantra: […]
The finished brown sweater… isn’t
It took me a while, but I eventually came to the realization that the brown sweater that took me ages to knit, frog, and re-knit, piece by piece, that had eventually been sewn together and worn (sans buttons), had to be completely ripped out and started over. I realized that I’d […]
Just released: Diamanten. You can also see it on Ravelry and on Patternfish.
I found these diamond stitch patterns when looking through a book of old German charted designs that date back to the early 1900s. I updated the designs to use both left- and right-leaning decreases, used a modern method of denoting the stitches in […]
You’ve probably all heard about the deluge of rain California has been hit with recently. Rain wasn’t the only thing we got. At higher elevations there was also snow.
While we obviously got a lot of rain, for the most part our neighborhood came through just fine. There were some very small areas were a […]
There’s so much to catch you up on, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been knitting like a mad woman, designing new things, printing and stuffing patterns into sleeves, and shipping them off to my distributor, labeling blocking wire tubes and getting them shipped out (I’m currently behind by about 300 labels), coordinating […]
Here I go again. Another boring blog post after a long absence, and promises of near future real blog posts. My intentions are good. Events are conspiring against me. Continue to keep your fingers crossed. There’s still hope.
In the meantime, I have another pattern out there in the world that I want to share […]
I originally designed and released the Tilia shawl (here on Ravelry) pattern in collaboration with Dee of Posh Yarn using her Diana lace weight yarn (50% silk, 50% merino = yum!). She distributed it as a limited edition kit, which sold out almost immediately. The period of exclusivity is now over, and the pattern is […]
I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. But then, I’m quite sure you’ve noticed this. Life has been more than a little out of control of late. I’m here this time just for a very quick update. I have a new pattern release to report. This time it’s a freebie. About this time last year I […]
I designed Birches for Woolgirl’s October 2009 Sock of the Month Club using yummy sock yarn from Pigeonroof Studios that was dyed specially for this project. It won’t be available for individual purchase until July 1, 2010. I’ll let you know when it is available, so you non-sock club members will be able to get […]
It’s done! It’s finally done! Woohoo! I swear, I think I ripped out the pieces of this sweater and re-knit them more times than anything else I’ve ever knit. Honestly, except for the back, which was only knit twice, each piece was knit at least four or five times. Some of the ripping back and […]
