I’ve got 2 patterns that went up today. Cloisters Wrap…. Cloisters recalls the architecture of the buildings that housed monastic communities of women. Delicate traceries of lace recall the ornate grills that separated the cloister from the public in visiting parlours, while peaked arches mimic graceful spires and alcoves. This wrap is worked from one […]

Go wish Anne a happy birthday!
My lovely friend Anne is having a birthday today! Go give her some love! You’d better be wearing your tiara today! Love you Anne! Glad you’ve made it another time around the sun. M
More Undocumented Knits
I also finished this one way back, and had been wearing it, but hadn’t blocked it yet. So I took the time to block it on Friday and got some photos. I love it even more now that it’s blocked. Pattern: Phyllo Yoked Pullover by Norah Gaughan from Knitting Nature. Raveled Yarn: 6 skeins of […]
A picture every day, but no pictures of this
I knit a super quick shawl in between big projects, as a sort of palate cleanser for knitting. It took all of a day and a half, and I finished it on June 8th, so the photos have been almost 2 months coming. I wanted to knit something that would be quick, simple and a […]
The Jam Season Begins
17-365 Originally uploaded by mimsical Over the last week I made 6 batches of jam. 2 batches each of Strawberry, Strawberry Mango, and a new experiment this year… Strawberry Honeydew. I’m still kind of on the fence about whether the honeydew is good in the jam. It has a very fresh and green taste, but […]
Secret Pink Lace
Ekho approves of the Neighborhood Fiber Company silk I’m working with. He curled up around my knitting when I wasn’t looking. I’m a ball of contradictions lately. It’s nice to be working on a big lace project again, but I’m also longing for some simple, mindless knitting too. And not just in my knitting. I […]
Breaking Radio Silence
Secret knitting and a week of being away from home makes for very boring blogging. I’ve been taking my 365 self portraits regularly though, and tending my garden. We treated the garden with fish emulsion (and I did some green waste puree on my own), and then I left for 5 days. When I came […]
Pinstripes Are Sexy!
I got pictures yesterday of the Pinstripe Sock I worked up in Isager yarns for Knit-Purl to take to Sock Summit as a kit. The pattern will also be available later as a download and for wholesale purchase. If you’re going to Sock Summit, check out Knit-Purl’s booth. They’ll have it in a bunch of […]
Nitrogen anyone?
So the word is in. The Community Garden is plodding along and not looking very good because our soil is lacking in Nitrogen. The people in charge are going to provide us with fish emulsion, green waste compost, and straw mulch to help. But I can’t help wondering if it’s too late to really get […]
1-365. And thus it begins
1-365 Originally uploaded by mimsical I decided to join the 365 project and take a picture everyday, and then I went completely NUTS and went for the whole “Self Portrait” angle as well. Nuts because I usually despise pictures of myself. Things are going along pretty busily for me. I’ve got a bunch of designs […]
