This is my niece, Hannah. She is doing a Flat Stanley project for school, and since I’ve got friends and contacts all over the world, I thought we could give Flat Stanley a nice trip around the globe. Time is tight and Hannah needs the accounts of his adventures back by the first week of […]

Revisions, the end is near
I’ve been nose-to-the-grindstone working on pattern revisions for about a week (although the project started long before that). Getting everything standardized, and making sure that the patterns are as complete and clear as they can be. There are a lot of things along the way that I have learned I like to have in patterns […]
Books are up on etsy
Thanks for all the input on the Isabo yarn. I’ll keep spinning, it sounds like another set of 3 bobbins should at least be a pretty good place to start from. ____________________________________ I’ve got a bunch of the books up in my etsy shop. Please take a look. There are 2 embossed books on there […]
Enough?
I’m working on some other projects, including a whole host of books to go up in my etsy shop this week. Here’s a look at one. It’s a lightweight aluminum sheet that I’m embossing. Then it will cover the bookboard and be bound into a blank journal. At the time of writing this, I’ve actually […]
Predictable, Yes. But warm
I mostly wear dark, neutral colors. Most of my wardrobe is black or gray, with some splashes of navy or brown for good measure. Over the last year or so, I’ve been trying to add other, brighter colors in. But I still have my comfort zone that I tend to default to. Given that, it […]
Pattern Release: Evolution Mitts
This fingerless mitt pattern follows the lace principles illustrated in the swatches from the lace structure tutorial presented at MimKnits.com.

Hands, hands, my kingdom for some hands!
This is the post in which I am reminded again of how difficult it is to take pictures of your own hands, even with a remote for your camera. I’ve got a fingerless mitt pattern (in 2 sizes and 2 lengths) ready to go up for sale tomorrow if I can only get some pictures […]
Sweet, Sweet Georgia!
Felicia of Sweet Georgia Yarns sent me some really lovely Cashmere and Silk lace weight. It was swatch #4 in the last post. I LOVE this yarn. I flows through my fingers and it slinks into stitches. When I set it down, it calls to me to come back and wrap my hands in it. […]
Swatching like crazy
Having finished the piece for Make 1 (I love it so much I could marry it, and I wish I could show you!), I’ve been sort of floating…. I don’t have a project in mind, and I’m trying to rest my arms and wrists after doing them a bit of injury in the marathon knitting. […]
A Thousand Words on Vimeo
C sent me a link to this beautiful short film. Totally worth taking 5 minutes out of your day for. A Thousand Words from Ted Chung on Vimeo. Hope you’ve all had a good weekend! M
