I’ve got a few more book designs finished now. When we last left off, you’d seen the Motte Shawl and the Colonnade Scarf, and I had mentioned that the Transverse Scarf and the Comfy Shawl (aka Thrums Shawl) would be included in the book. I’ve also worked out to include Cleite in the print version […]

Club Opportunities for 2010
Just wanted to keep you all updated on forthcoming stuff…. I’ll be designing a piece for Romi’s Lace and Shawl Pin Club. The club itself has a great ala cart subscription. You can choose how many shipments you’d like, what metal you’d like for the pin, yarn content and color family, or you can go […]
An Unusual Weekend
When you get out of the habit of blogging, it’s hard to remember to start up again 🙂 I’ve been a busy girl, especially since this is canning season. This weekend alone produced 14 Quarts and 1 pint of dill pickles, a batch of amazingly wonderful honeydew and nectarine ice cream, and a growing crush […]
The purpose of a lot of my secret knitting….
I’m writing a book. Or to be more correct, I’m writing a pattern booklet. After TNNA when I got to spend some time with Ysolda (who was on a grand tour of the US, doing signings and a trunk show of Whimsical Little Knits 1*), I talked to her about the process of self-publishing a […]
Pattern Releases: Tart Lime and Cloisters
I’ve got 2 patterns that went up today. Cloisters Wrap…. Cloisters recalls the architecture of the buildings that housed monastic communities of women. Delicate traceries of lace recall the ornate grills that separated the cloister from the public in visiting parlours, while peaked arches mimic graceful spires and alcoves. This wrap is worked from one […]
Breaking Radio Silence
Secret knitting and a week of being away from home makes for very boring blogging. I’ve been taking my 365 self portraits regularly though, and tending my garden. We treated the garden with fish emulsion (and I did some green waste puree on my own), and then I left for 5 days. When I came […]
Pinstripes Are Sexy!

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 […]
Transverse Scarf
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 […]
