I’ve got a couple of new yarns I’m going to be working with, and I thought I’d share them with you. Both come from large and rather unlikely animals. The first is Buffalo Gold. Ron and company have been selling natural American Bison fiber for a while, but they’ve recently added some really amazing colored […]

Catching Up for Spring
Holy Crap! How did I get so far along with stuff and forget to tell you, oh blog! I realized looking back that I hadn’t even shown you Desdemona let alone the new wrap I’ve finished today. So without further ado… Desdemona! Click the photo to see the whole album of photos of the shawl. […]
One of the most important things!
I totally spaced one of the most important things about the revisions when I was posting! All patterns are now formatted to print on letter sized paper (which should print just fine on A4 as well) instead of having some pages on letter and some on legal. Thought you all should know. It’s all download […]
Revised Patterns Are Up
The revised patterns are up, all of them in fact. The sample for new photography of Icarus isn’t forthcoming, so I just used the old photos. Plus the Woven Cable Scarf & Wrap has been redone with the same format. I’ve also put the patterns up in my Ravelry store, so if you’d prefer to […]
Flat Stanley volunteers needed!
This is my niece, Hannah. She is doing a Flat Stanley project for school, and since I’ve got friends and contacts all over the world, I thought we could give Flat Stanley a nice trip around the globe. Time is tight and Hannah needs the accounts of his adventures back by the first week of […]
Revisions, the end is near
I’ve been nose-to-the-grindstone working on pattern revisions for about a week (although the project started long before that). Getting everything standardized, and making sure that the patterns are as complete and clear as they can be. There are a lot of things along the way that I have learned I like to have in patterns […]
Books are up on etsy
Thanks for all the input on the Isabo yarn. I’ll keep spinning, it sounds like another set of 3 bobbins should at least be a pretty good place to start from. ____________________________________ I’ve got a bunch of the books up in my etsy shop. Please take a look. There are 2 embossed books on there […]
Enough?
I’m working on some other projects, including a whole host of books to go up in my etsy shop this week. Here’s a look at one. It’s a lightweight aluminum sheet that I’m embossing. Then it will cover the bookboard and be bound into a blank journal. At the time of writing this, I’ve actually […]
Predictable, Yes. But warm
I mostly wear dark, neutral colors. Most of my wardrobe is black or gray, with some splashes of navy or brown for good measure. Over the last year or so, I’ve been trying to add other, brighter colors in. But I still have my comfort zone that I tend to default to. Given that, it […]
Pattern Release: Evolution Mitts
This fingerless mitt pattern follows the lace principles illustrated in the swatches from the lace structure tutorial presented at MimKnits.com. The pattern begins with pyramids of eyelets, then illustrates how moving the decreases changes the flow of the fabric. When you alternate the lace motifs, the pattern evolves into leaf lace.
