It was a really busy week! I spent the first few days getting Nefertiti ready for release and writing up a wider-version for Juno Regina so that the sample knitter could get going on it. Thanks for the great response to Nefertiti! I.LOVE.IT. So much. It is drapey and beautiful and just wonderful to wear. […]

Pattern Release: Nefertiti Wrap
Named for the famous Egyptian Queen, Nefertiti. It is rumored that she ruled the Upper and Lower Kingdoms on her own after her husband’s death before her son Tutankhamun took the throne. With her husband she changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to the worship of one god. This wrap evokes the sheer pleated gowns […]
Shakespeare In Lace
Anne has announced the 2009 Wooly Wonka Lace Club and I’m excited to be a part of it again. This year the theme is Shakespeare. Here is the line-up. March: Miriam Felton of Mimknits is kicking off the subscription kits with a nod to Othello. She’s taking her design theme from Desdemona’s handkerchief, a strawberry […]
Pattern Release: Dimorphous Mittens
It all started with Norma (doesn’t it always 😉 )… She sent me this sketch of a mitten that was dancing around in her brain. A double mitten that would keep her hands warm through all of the levels of Vermont winters. Norma provided the concept, and I worked out the details. I present to […]
Socks Galore!!
I found my camera cable after having it lost for a while (when I moved everything around to put an eliptical in my house) and just last night got around to finding it. This week is full of LONG hours of training at my full-time job (I worked 10 hours yesterday and barely scratched the […]

Andromeda on the needles
I’m WELL into the shawl that I was going to start while traveling for TNNA in Impulse of Delight Blissful BFL, and I want to show it to you and get some opinions. With this piece I was trying to play with the movement of stitches, having both subtle curving motion and clean decrease lines […]
Twist Collective to Publish Cleite
Remember how way back when I said that Cleite had been snatched up by a publication? That publication is the Twist Collective. And now I can tell you a bit about it. This is a project I was really excited to get behind because it was created as a way for designers to share the […]
Pattern Release: Foliage Shawl
May I present, the Foliage Shawl. See storefront to purchase. This top-down shawl is worked in a simple leaf pattern that is both easy to memorize and easy to work, making the body of the shawl a joy to knit, while the border infuses the piece with a zest that makes this an accessory you’ll […]
EPS Button Bands
EPS is done and blocked and there are pictures in my camera to prove it, but first thing’s first. I told you I had concocted a way to work the button bands, but didn’t elaborate. I wanted something that would blend well with the stockinette-with-a-purl-turning-row facings that I knit at cuffs, collar and hem. I […]
