I’ve been so, so bad about blogging. I know. You noticed, didn’t you? No word from me in ages. My excuse, and I’m sticking to it, is that I prepared to be away for a month, I was gone for a month, and I’ve been recovering from having been gone for a month. We were […]
This morning it looked like this:
The edge of one petal is starting to unfurl. And just look at that color!
My Cecil Bruner roses have been putting on quite the show this year, too. I picked a few, put them in the tiny vase that Dad bought for me when I was a child, a special […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed my attraction to blue lately: Capistrano, Hesperia, Denim Lace Tunic, Isola, and Basket Whip are five of the last six designs and they’re all blue. Maybe it has something to do with my mood. In my own defense, these projects weren’t all knit at the same time, quite a […]
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 […]
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 […]
I went out for a quick walk this morning, and saw a very odd fungus along the side of the footpath I was taking. When I returned to our room, I googled “orange white toadstools oregon -golf -fish -pumpkin” and found it! The fungus I found is called Amanita muscaria. It likes to be around […]
Love the sound of those storm-tossed waves hitting the beach and rocks. A storm at sea when I’m safely onshore is one of the best things in life. Having fun watching the rains come and go, the sun shine and the winds blow. I just love this stuff. Boy, do I live in the […]
The first two days of this week were fun, fun, fun. Monday we went into San Francisco with Mom, and spent a good chunk of the day at the new California Academy of Sciences. This is an incredible new structure that completely replaces the old Steinhart Aquarium building, designed with the ecology firmly in mind […]
Dave and I had a fabulous time in Columbus, Ohio for the summer TNNA trade show. We talked to tons of people, fondled lots of fabulous yarn, and managed to find time for some fun along the way.
Getting there
Our flight out of southern California was on time, but early, early, early. A friend came […]
