I’ve been home for 4 days, but I’m still exhausted and all I want to do is sit on my couch and watch Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (anybody else totally in love with Odo?). As expected, I came home with no dearth of ideas and creative stimulation from TNNA. The sheer knitting brilliance that […]

How does your garden grow?
My garden is up, although somewhat behind OTHER people‘s. We didn’t get to officially plant until the 16th of May, so things that could have been germinating already didn’t even get PLANTED until then. Next year I will get the same box, so I can start peas, spinach and lettuces under a cold frame and […]

WWKIP Announcement
Spreading the word the best way I know how. World Wide Knit In Public Day is going to span 2 weekends this year, June 13 & 14 as well as June 20 & 21. It has been the 2nd weekend in June for a while, but that always interferes with TNNA, so it’s being moved […]
Contests and Pattern Release Dates
So when Desdemona was sent out as a kit, the end of the exclusivity (which is the day I can publicly release it) ended up as June 1st. Well, June 1st is also my birthday, so it seemed a good time for a drawing and prizes. Then I realized that Cleite came back to me […]
Lace is Cheap
Clearly, I have a bias in favor of lace, but lace is economical, time-consuming, and has a wide range of difficulty to choose from. As we head into summer, with car trips, vacations, summer camps, and gardens, here’s a list of lace projects that can be done for less than $35. It is the rare […]
Twitter Invasion
By the way, I’m now on Twitter, my username is mimknits. I tweet about what I’m working on, when a pattern is done, and what I’m inspired by, as well as random stuff like playing footsie with my cat. 🙂 My feeds are open, so feel free to follow if you’d like. M
