Mrs. Crosby is lovely, as is her yarn. Satchel, which I used for the Broadwyn Shawl, is a buttery Superwash Merino Wool Fingering Weight. It was a difficult decision which color to pick for Broadwyn, but in the end, I am a sucker for gray, and it would photograph well. So I chose Greystone. But […]

Review: The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet I & II by Hunter Hammersen
Knitters find inspiration is myriad places, but I’ve never seen a collection quite so vividly inspired as Hunter Hammersen‘s Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet Series. These books (The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, published in 2012 and The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II, published in 2013) are inspired by vintage illustrations. The first volume is all botanical prints (flowers […]
Interview and a Contest with Kelbourne Woolens
I had the lovely opportunity to work with The Fibre Company Savannah when I designed Rivel, and the lovely ladies of Kelbourne Woolens, Courtney and Kate, asked if I would be interested in doing an interview for their blog. They asked some really great questions about designing sweaters and working in collections. The interview is […]

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 […]
In which I return without reason.
Wow… I just sort of fell off the face of the planet, didn’t I? I’ve been knitting, I’ve been working (really hard) and neglecting my house, which is really to be expected, considering my MO. But I have knit a lot. In all fairness, I finished this pi shawl before I left for Denver (although […]
Huzzah!
I managed to make it through a whole week of posting! And now to reward the hard work, today is random. 1. C and I have been renting Dr. Who, Season 1 through NetFlix. I don’t know what it is about British Television… is it just me or does it seem better to anyone else? […]
I think Spring is here
The tree pollen is out in full force (and my nose and sinuses won’t let me forget it), the bulb flowers are popping up their heads, and the days are turning progressively warmer. Today was the first day in at least 5 months that I’ve got outside with no sweater or coat, just a shirt, […]
