Instead of knitting holes I’ve been twisting a lot of stitches lately. There’s this pair of socks that I designed for Posh Yarn in Wales. The pattern doesn’t have a name yet, but there’s a line of tulips flanked by other twisted stitch motifs. I enjoyed knitting the socks. The test knitters seem to be […]
Shop list
We received the most recent list of shops that my patterns are in from our distributor today. Our stuff is now in 347 shops, all but five of which are in the U.S. I updated the shop list on my pattern site. The shops that are not in the U.S., and the two Internet-only […]
Yup. I bought a pile of luscious yarn at Stitches West last month. I’ll tell you all about it, but not today. Today I want to tell you about what I saw in the latest Vogue Knitting magazine this morning.
I’d just finished the last three pages of Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, and was looking around […]
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 […]
Welcome to all who are here for the Sweet Summer blog tour, hosted by Karen and her Cotton Spice blog.
Yes, it’s really been a week since I last posted. Honestly, I can’t believe how quickly a week goes by these days. I think I’m starting to get the real gist of Grandma’s complaint about how […]
What with all the business of naming this pattern, I figured I’d better get a move on, and get some knitting done on it. I pulled it out yesterday afternoon, and knit a few rows or so of the central portion before deciding that it would be really nice to know how much farther I […]
The last two seasons I’ve donated a pattern as a prize to the Seasons of Lace KAL. They opened it up this last time so that prize donors could also post their projects. Sometime during the course of the KAL I finally finished that dress I’d been working on for so long for my friend […]
A bit of this and that…
It’s the time of year to submit your finished scarves to the Red Scarf Project. If you need a free pattern to knit, there’s a pretty cabled scarf pattern available over on Knitting Daily.
Ahoy, mateys. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Cap’ns Chumbucket and Slappy have two books […]
As you no doubt figured out from yesterday’s brief post, we are home again. Yea! I have a few more photos from Vegas to share with you before we get to the knitting. First up: Dave in the little tiny kitchen in our suite. Next: our view at night. As nice as it is to […]
