Warning: I may just be irritable because we are nearing the very longest day of the entire year and the lack of sunshine is clogging up my brain. So on the train today I was standing up, leaning against a wall, working on my Flying Cables sweater (which I have knit 13″ on the back […]

It is time….
The Days are too short for a full-time job and knitting photography to dwell happily in the same house. Flash photography gives my knits a florescence that they definitely DON’T have. The blue brother socks are finished (have been for a while) as are the second pair of clogs, and I’m knitting socks for the […]
Quilting really cuts into the knitting progress

The stuff that lingers on my needles
What is an older sister to do when faced with looming Christmas and little brothers who love handknit socks?! Why, knit socks quickly with large yarn, is what. These are for David, the youngest. The yarn is STR Heavyweight in Beryl and I’m knitting them up on 3.0 mm doublepoints (US 2.5). These are going […]
Let the Holiday knitting commence!
Lest you think I have not been knitting, let me parade some FO’s for you. First there’s the Cleite Shawl, which I finished the spinning for as well as the knitting of. The yarn is alpaca laceweight handspun by me to about 30 wpi. That stuff was TINY! And I over plied it, which was […]
Model Knitter needed
Hi, I need a volunteer model knitter. I’ve designed the new shawl above called Cleite for Wooly Wonka Fibers Spinning Club, but I want to offer a full sized version in the shop. However, I do not have time to knit the full sized version, so I’m taking a volunteer knitter. Please only volunteer if […]
