Light and airy, but just warm enough for those breezy spring and summer nights. Works up quickly in a fingering weight yarn. This pattern could easily be worked in […]

EPS Continued
I finished the second sleeve on EPS, and joined the sleeves to the body. It was fiddley and uncomfortable to knit the first few rounds, but improved and after a few rounds I started the short rows. I worked 3 sets of short rows, using the center point of each sleeve as my reference. The […]
Sweater Madness, Part 2
This is where we get deep into the madness part. And it’s a picture heavy brand of madness, so my apologies to those on Dial-up. So I’m working on the EPS still, but I hear the siren song from the many piles of yarn stowed around my house. While sock yarn is singing and crooning […]
Something pretty to look at; or, I hate taxes, thank God it's over for another year!
A good way to avoid doing your taxes is to have self-imposed knitting deadlines. Like this little wisp of a shawl. Knit in less than a week, with a heavier weight yarn, the whole thing was satisfying from start to finish and I never got bored. Pattern: Foliage Shawl, my design, soon to be released […]
Persephone Version 2
I finished my second persephone scarf. Since I was offering it for publication, instead of fielding a million questions about a suitable substitute for the handspun yarn I used for the original, I thought a commercially available fiber would be good. Something that you could compare it to if you wanted to substitute or the […]
Pattern Release: Zephyros Shawl
Zephyros is the Spring Wind in Greek Mythology, the wind of change. Welcome the new life of spring with this clean-lined shawl. Solid enough to keep the chill off on a spring morning, but elegant and interesting to knit, with the wind theme echoed throughout. Pattern now available for download through the MimKnits Online Shop. […]

Each of the 4 repeated wedges of the shawl begins with a gathering of leaves, then moves downward into the twisting, odd trunks of the aspens, culminating in the feather and fan edge, which […]
Persephone Scarf
This is the handspun angora/silk version of this scarf. I’ll be making another version of it in a commercial yarn (I’m leaning toward Dream in Color Baby) and release the pattern on about April 15th. The pattern for the handspun version is going out with the final offering for the Wooly Wonka Exotic Fibers Club. […]
Books from me, Books for me
I made quite a few books this weekend which are now up for sale in my etsy shop if you’re interested, but I also got a package from YesAsia.com! Japanese knitting books are fabulous. If you can read charts, then you can knit from one of them, and their combinations of knits and purls and […]
