Howdy do, readers (if there are any of you left)! I just wanted to let you all know that I’ve added more options to the Dimorphous Mitten pattern, giving instructions for making gloves, fingerless gloves, and fingerless mitts to replace the Inner Mitten. All of these options are worked using the same cuff instructions from […]

Club Opportunities for 2010
Just wanted to keep you all updated on forthcoming stuff…. I’ll be designing a piece for Romi’s Lace and Shawl Pin Club. The club itself has a great ala cart subscription. You can choose how many shipments you’d like, what metal you’d like for the pin, yarn content and color family, or you can go […]
Five Whole Years
Teena in Toronto reminded me on Sunday morning that it was my 5th Blogiversary. 5 years. Holy Mother of Meat. I’ve been meaning to blog again more often and this might just be the catalyst to push me to do it. A broken camera lens and a bunch of crazy are my excuses this time, […]
Really out of it.
Coming home today from spending a week at my sister Laura’s house, canning large bushels of produce, basting 4 quilts, taking family portraits, and helping care for her children. Frankly, I’m exhausted and really eager to be home. As much fun as the kids are, they sort of remind me that I really don’t want […]
Stuffies for Princess Wiggles
My little brother (see here) and his wife are having a baby. For now they’re calling her Princess Wiggles. I might still make a sweater for her, but for now, 3 stuffed toys seems adequate 🙂 Details on Ravelry, from left to right: Elijah, Sophie, Otto I just finished Elijah, pretty quickly after Otto. I […]
Shop Bugs
Hi all, I’m having some trouble with my MimKnits shop SSL, and you may run into problems with it until I can get this web host thing figured out, so I would suggest if you’re going to purchase that you purchase through Ravelry.
An Unusual Weekend
When you get out of the habit of blogging, it’s hard to remember to start up again 🙂 I’ve been a busy girl, especially since this is canning season. This weekend alone produced 14 Quarts and 1 pint of dill pickles, a batch of amazingly wonderful honeydew and nectarine ice cream, and a growing crush […]
The purpose of a lot of my secret knitting….
I’m writing a book. Or to be more correct, I’m writing a pattern booklet. After TNNA when I got to spend some time with Ysolda (who was on a grand tour of the US, doing signings and a trunk show of Whimsical Little Knits 1*), I talked to her about the process of self-publishing a […]
Feeling the differences
I was hit in the face by the drastic changes of the last year (6 or 7 months really) today on the way home from visiting family. C had taken the week off for his birthday to relax and do some fun things, which necessitated a scaled-back work week for me, since keeping him company […]
Paypal errors
Due to paypal’s downtime today, some transactions were not able to go through, or failed mid-transaction. If you purchased today and didn’t get an order confirmation or are unable to access your downloads, please send me an e-mail and I’ll get it sorted out for you. The shop is up and paypal appears to be […]
