Spreading the word the best way I know how. World Wide Knit In Public Day is going to span 2 weekends this year, June 13 & 14 as well as June 20 & 21. It has been the 2nd weekend in June for a while, but that always interferes with TNNA, so it’s being moved […]

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 […]
Lace is Cheap
Clearly, I have a bias in favor of lace, but lace is economical, time-consuming, and has a wide range of difficulty to choose from. As we head into summer, with car trips, vacations, summer camps, and gardens, here’s a list of lace projects that can be done for less than $35. It is the rare […]
Twitter Invasion
By the way, I’m now on Twitter, my username is mimknits. I tweet about what I’m working on, when a pattern is done, and what I’m inspired by, as well as random stuff like playing footsie with my cat. 🙂 My feeds are open, so feel free to follow if you’d like. M
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 […]
Weekly Recap

Pattern Release: Nefertiti Wrap

With her husband she changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to the worship of one god. This wrap evokes the sheer pleated gowns […]
Thinking about Recipes
I spent 30 minutes trying to find my recipe box this morning so I could make some gingersnaps. I had also been looking for it earlier in the week to find a bread recipe, but didn’t try very hard, and when I opened it, I found that the bread recipe wasn’t there. I have no […]
Ancient Woodland Shawl
At last I can show you the piece I did for Make 1’s 2009 Year of Lace club. I got to design a colorway specifically for the shawl in conjunction with Beth Casey of Lorna’s Laces. We talked over what I had in mind and then Beth worked up some samples so we could solidify […]
