Blog back up… clearly….
So those of you who have been reading daily know that my shop went down on Wednesday morning. Little did I know that in trying to reinstall it, my backup would be corrupted, then I would run out of room, have to revert to an automatic system backup from October 28th and then have to […]
Logan River Wrap
Hey all, remember the secret tweedy project? It’s up in the Winter 2007 Interweave Knits Preview. It’s the Logan River Wrap knit in Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran. The design features cables, twisted stitches and a winding drop stitch pattern. As well as a self-scalloping cabled edge with short-row mitered corners that make the edging one […]
While I'm at it…..
Thanks for all the encouragement friends, I’m working on getting organized at work…hoping maybe that will help. Found out that some of the stuff I was stressing out about not getting done isn’t actually my job, so I’m getting that sorted out. And mostly trying to get into a routine. At least I get paid […]
Reaching
I feel so out of touch. It’s been a couple of really shitty and crazy months. I got depressed and realized that it was my job and a few of the people I worked with driving me batshit, and then looked for another job only to discover that I had some really crazy un-packed emotional […]

Knitting Guild or How I didn't make an arse of myself.
So I spoke last night at the knitting guild meeting and it went really well! There were probably… 60 people there and it was standing room only in the back. I started out with a bit of my design philosophy and a slide show presentation showing some of the inspiration for designs. Then they started […]
Ahh Trekking, how do I love thee….
A while back I bought a skein of Trekking in a gorgeous array of burgandy and wine colors. My notes in Ravelry tell me that I got it at the Needlepoint Joint in Ogden, and now I recall carrying it around and petting it on our last SnB knitters outing to Ogden. So when the […]
Cinnibar is lonely.
This strange and highly photoshopped* image was meant to show you that I’ve knit the front, back and both sleeves for my Cinnibar pullover, and yet, it’s been sitting in that state for too many days. Why, you may ask. Well… because I’m a dumbass. When I bought the yarn, I was so excited about […]
