Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve got French Translations of Icarus and Hidcote up in the store. You select the version you want by using the dropdown box at the bottom of the page. It will default to “PDF-English”, but you can choose “PDF-Francais” if you want the french version […]

Random Wednesday in the form of an update.
1. The Secret Tweed is out the door. The contract is signed, the pattern written and mailed out. You should be hearing about it again in Winter when it will be published. It might be the combination of the stress over this piece with the sharp drop in hormones, but I’m feeling rather low… and […]
Mahogany socks make great hats!
I finished the secret tweedy something (over the weekend I think) after having messed up the border and having to knit it over about 3 times. When you wake up at ungodly hours, the best plan is NOT to try to finish your knitting. Seriously… BAD plan. I got it grafted and everything before I […]
My bags are packed flights are booked, I'm ready to go….
I booked my flight to New York and home from Philadelphia today! YAY! I’m really going! I fly in the 10th of July and will be in NYC until the morning of the 13th at which point I’m going down to Philly and I’ll be flying out of Philly and back home on the 16th. […]
Secret Tweedy Knitting!
It’s that time of year that seems to run away from you. When I was in school it seemed like May was always hasty and over before you knew it and I attributed this to dress rehersals, final exams, performances and papers all coming due at the close of the school year. But I’m not […]
At least last minute flights are good for knitting.
Thanks to everyone who left condolences. I will pass them on to my family. I started responding to everyone, but I got really busy and haven’t finished. I’ll try to send you all a note, but it might take me a while. I finally got my flight figured out (and by the by… no one […]
2 FO's and a bottle of rum… Arrrgh….
I knit a LOT this weekend. I am waiting for some yarn for a contract piece with a deadline of June 15th, and I thought it would come on Friday, but it didn’t. Nor did it come on Saturday… so when I finished the shawl on Friday (see below the cut), I thought I’d just […]
Ahhh… the relaxing….
Today I am blogging from home, wearing my pajamas, with a kitty next to me in a sunny window, and it’s simply lovely! I took the day off to hang out with my little brother before he goes abroad for a semester, but he won’t be here until this afternoon, so I’m enjoying having a […]
Ravelry ROCKS!
So by now, you may have heard about Ravelry.com I had been sort of ambivalent about it having only heard that it’s a place where you can keep track of your needles and see reviews of patterns and yarns. Until Ysolda‘s post about it, I didn’t know it had anything different for designers, but people… […]
Ulysses and WIPS
Meet Ulysses. He’s a monkey that I bought from the Sundance Catalog Outlet in Sugarhouse. I went in to eye their fabulous sweaters and came out with a woolen monkey who was hand spun and hand knitted by women in Kenya. Draped artfully across Ulysses’ shoulder is the body (just minus the border) of The […]
