This is the post in which I am reminded again of how difficult it is to take pictures of your own hands, even with a remote for your camera. I’ve got a fingerless mitt pattern (in 2 sizes and 2 lengths) ready to go up for sale tomorrow if I can only get some pictures […]

Sweet, Sweet Georgia!
Felicia of Sweet Georgia Yarns sent me some really lovely Cashmere and Silk lace weight. It was swatch #4 in the last post. I LOVE this yarn. I flows through my fingers and it slinks into stitches. When I set it down, it calls to me to come back and wrap my hands in it. […]
Swatching like crazy
Having finished the piece for Make 1 (I love it so much I could marry it, and I wish I could show you!), I’ve been sort of floating…. I don’t have a project in mind, and I’m trying to rest my arms and wrists after doing them a bit of injury in the marathon knitting. […]
A Thousand Words on Vimeo
C sent me a link to this beautiful short film. Totally worth taking 5 minutes out of your day for. A Thousand Words from Ted Chung on Vimeo. Hope you’ve all had a good weekend! M
Meandering
Today felt a bit listless. I spent a lot of time planning, but felt like I didn’t accomplish much. I have the honor of doing the first kit for Make 1’s Year of Lace 2009, and a custom dyed colorway is being worked up for it. Being among the ranks of last year’s designers makes […]
Housecleaning
If you’re in between projects, need a break from your current project, or just because you wanna, you should knit one of these cranes (or more, I won’t complain). The project is to knit 1,000 cranes for knitnotwar. These knitted and felted cranes will become part of an art installation in support of peace. My […]
Random for Thursday
I have problems with my ribs…. I don’t think this is normal… I present to you exhibits a & b. a. I am extremely short-waisted, so much so that if I am not sitting up straight and I try to twist my upper body around, I will rub the bottom of my ribs against the […]
Oh Desdemona! I want to OWN ya!
I finished the Desdemona shawl this weekend. It’s the March installation for the 2009 Shakespeare in Lace Club, inspired by the tragedy of Othello. I can’t show you too much of it before it’s revealed to the club, but you can see some not-clear pictures to whet your appetite in my ravelry project page. The […]
Figures…
As a fitting end to all the drama, I am now raging sick. With a fever, and the chills, and a whole lot of medication. I can only sit upright and type now because I have been steadily downing ginger ale and slept for most of the day. I was probably fighting it off all […]
Last Day as a Corporate Tool
Last night it really hit me that I am leaving the corporate world. That my career future is entirely in my own hands, and it sort of freaked me out for a minute. But then just made me glad that I’ve made this decision. I’d much rather be terrified by something I can DO than […]
