I’m not sure which I’m more in love with, the Zephyros Shawl, or my new camera! You can see the whole flickr set here. When I’ve struggled with a project I always get a little pissed off at it by the end. I’m less than pleased until I look at it through the lens of […]

Just one more reason…
… to love Emma Thompson. Not that I really NEEDED another reason.
Pattern Release: Flutter Scarf
May I present, the Flutter Scarf. Pattern available through my online shop. The yarn is an artisan laceweight from Skylark Yarns called Les Oiseaux. The colorways are beautiful and subtle, and the whole scarf took one skein of the yarn. Yarn Requirements: Skylark Yarns Les Oiseaux laceweight yarn (70 % alpaca/30% soy fiber, 440 yards) […]
Sooo long!
It seems like it’s been a long damn time since I released a pattern, and really… that’s true. The latest pattern release was November. November to February is just too damn long, wouldn’t you say? So here’s what on the burner and when it should be done. 1. Cleite Shawl – I didn’t have time […]
Oh how I wish I had a camera!
People. This is a momentous occasion. If you have ever been invited to my house, you will know how messy it is. It is cozy cluttered and a heap of semi-organized piles (meaning I could tell you exactly where everything is, but it LOOKS really messy), and I usually need something to PUSH me into […]
More on Zephyros
The knitting and blocking for Zephyros is done, but I have returned the loner camera to my dad and my new camera is not set to be here until later, so all I have is in progress pictures for you. Here is a detailed shot of the border: And detail of the turned short row […]
A sneak peek at Zephyros.
Thought you all might like the heads up. The ‘Lace in the Woods’ Retreat has been cancelled. If you were registered Jackie should be getting you a refund shortly. If you were planning on going, sorry! It sounded like it would be fun. But you know what they say about doors and windows and all […]
In which FO's you didn't know I was working on appear.
While I was struggling with the shawl (it’s been a LONG struggle), I still had the desire to knit, so I finished a couple of side projects. The friend who modeled the Serpentine Mitts for the pattern hired me to make her a pair. She calls them “Oliver Twist” gloves. Pattern: My own Serpentine Mitts […]
Finally some pictures!
But I apologize because they’re crappy pictures. Turns out my camera’s flash board is broken, and while I COULD fix it, it would cost more to fix it than the camera is worth. So I had the camera place just put it back together so I can use it without a flash, but then they […]
I voted yesterday
Wil Wheaton‘s post about why he voted for Obama perfectly articulates why I did as well. I struggled with whether Hillary might be our only chance at a female president. I thought about voting for her just to see if it could happen. But I really see her as being steeped in the politics-as-usual mindset. […]
