I wanted to do another few patterns that would be good for handspun, to compliment Cleite (which I will eventually put in a compilation, but can’t yet due to contractual restrictions), and this was the first of the bunch. The repeat is 4 sts wide and 16 rows long, but has a natural break at […]

Weekly Recap
It was a really busy week! I spent the first few days getting Nefertiti ready for release and writing up a wider-version for Juno Regina so that the sample knitter could get going on it. Thanks for the great response to Nefertiti! I.LOVE.IT. So much. It is drapey and beautiful and just wonderful to wear. […]

Pattern Release: Nefertiti Wrap
Named for the famous Egyptian Queen, Nefertiti. It is rumored that she ruled the Upper and Lower Kingdoms on her own after her husband’s death before her son Tutankhamun took the throne. With her husband she changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to the worship of one god. This wrap evokes the sheer pleated gowns […]
Thinking about Recipes
I spent 30 minutes trying to find my recipe box this morning so I could make some gingersnaps. I had also been looking for it earlier in the week to find a bread recipe, but didn’t try very hard, and when I opened it, I found that the bread recipe wasn’t there. I have no […]
Ancient Woodland Shawl
At last I can show you the piece I did for Make 1’s 2009 Year of Lace club. I got to design a colorway specifically for the shawl in conjunction with Beth Casey of Lorna’s Laces. We talked over what I had in mind and then Beth worked up some samples so we could solidify […]
Delicate yarn from Big Mammals
I’ve got a couple of new yarns I’m going to be working with, and I thought I’d share them with you. Both come from large and rather unlikely animals. The first is Buffalo Gold. Ron and company have been selling natural American Bison fiber for a while, but they’ve recently added some really amazing colored […]
Catching Up for Spring
Holy Crap! How did I get so far along with stuff and forget to tell you, oh blog! I realized looking back that I hadn’t even shown you Desdemona let alone the new wrap I’ve finished today. So without further ado… Desdemona! Click the photo to see the whole album of photos of the shawl. […]
One of the most important things!
I totally spaced one of the most important things about the revisions when I was posting! All patterns are now formatted to print on letter sized paper (which should print just fine on A4 as well) instead of having some pages on letter and some on legal. Thought you all should know. It’s all download […]
Revised Patterns Are Up
The revised patterns are up, all of them in fact. The sample for new photography of Icarus isn’t forthcoming, so I just used the old photos. Plus the Woven Cable Scarf & Wrap has been redone with the same format. I’ve also put the patterns up in my Ravelry store, so if you’d prefer to […]
