I woke early for a Saturday (although not terribly early for me) and watched the light change through my living room window from blue-gray to azure to brilliant white. And I thought about Twist & Knit. I have a new layout, and I have the patterns written, photography is done, and I just need to […]

Thanks everyone for the love about Knitscene 🙂 It was a lot of fun to write and hopefully it won’t be the last article I write. I got home Wednesday from attending Cat Bordhi’s visionary retreat, which is a juried retreat for self-publishing authors where we can learn skills that we’ll need to write our […]
Cover Girl
022/365: Cover Girl Originally uploaded by mimsical I’ve got an article in the new Knitscene (Winter/Spring 2010 Issue) about different ways of shaping triangular shawls. All in all it’s a great issue, with 3 sweaters from Connie that are so lovely! I want to make the Geodesic Cardigan for myself. It’s also got a trio […]
Helping Haiti
Hi all, We’ve all seen the horrible state of things in Haiti right now. And it makes me so grateful that I have running water and food to eat and that my loved ones are safe. In order to help in some small way 50% of the sale price of all my available patterns sold […]
Reflecting on 2009 and moving on….
In January 2009 I was working as an office monkey, stuck in a stressful, uncreative, unfulfilling job. Comparing that to now, happier than I have ever been, working for myself, and accomplishing great things. What a difference a year and a little courage can make! I was thinking back on the last 10 months or […]

Taking a Break to Knit for Myself
Last weekend, I needed to take a break from the crazy deadline knitting, and with winter seeping in it’s been very cold walking around town as I do, so I decided I needed a hat. I’m really picky about hats. Most hat styles look strange on me (at least to myself) with my long face […]
Of More Book Designs
I’ve got a few more book designs finished now. When we last left off, you’d seen the Motte Shawl and the Colonnade Scarf, and I had mentioned that the Transverse Scarf and the Comfy Shawl (aka Thrums Shawl) would be included in the book. I’ve also worked out to include Cleite in the print version […]
Vinifera Socks
Hello again! Two posts in as many days, who’d a thunk it. Just wanted to talk about a new pattern that the Knit Purl Sock Club just sent out earlier this week. People should have started receiving it, so now I can show you the photos I took and talk about it a bit. This […]
