Confluence Collection Preview
Knitting on the new collection is done, and Caro was here for the photoshoot on Friday. I saw the photos in camera and I’m sooo excited to see them full sized! It was fun (if a little cold), and I’m really excited to show you more. Here’s a little to whet your appetites. The Confluence […]
All things producing apace.
51-365, a photo by mimsical on Flickr. The garden is producing (harvested some of my carrots last week), and I’m producing as well. The new collection is one piece from completion, and the styling tryouts have begun. Caro (Splityarn) is going to be in Salt Lake in early October for a sewing conference, and she’s […]
Interview and a Contest with Kelbourne Woolens
I had the lovely opportunity to work with The Fibre Company Savannah when I designed Rivel, and the lovely ladies of Kelbourne Woolens, Courtney and Kate, asked if I would be interested in doing an interview for their blog. They asked some really great questions about designing sweaters and working in collections. The interview is […]
Tips for Long Cast Ons
Casting on should be fun and exciting and full of promise, but some times you have to cast on hundreds and hundreds of stitches, which can be a bit daunting. These tips are great, not only for lace, but for sweaters knit in the round, or anything that requires you to cast on a lot […]

New Notebook!
15-365, a photo by mimsical on Flickr. Is there anything quite so lovely as a new notebook? I’ve talked about my struggles with writing in a notebook before (is anything I have to say really WORTH putting in a notebook?), but I’m glad to say I’ve got the hell over that drama and I’ve just […]
Pattern Release: The Chevron Collection
Hi everybody, just a heads up that my new collection is up. The Chevron Collection is a grouping of 6 pieces, including a really lovely sweater, that explore different ways to make Chevron shapes through lace, cables and stacked increases and decreases. I’m really really proud of this collection, and I hope that you’ll enjoy […]
Vacation Over, back to the grindstone
We returned yesterday from a week’s vacation in Chicago. We went for my good friend Amanda’s wedding (which you will hear more about in the future), and she was kind enough to let us stay in her apartment while she’s on her honeymoon, so C and I got our first real vacation together (yes, after […]
