Twist & Knit
FINALLY, Pre-orders are up here for Twist & Knit: A Dozen Knitted Patterns for Handspun, Hand-dyed and One-of-a-kind Yarns. Or if you’re interested, I’m selling limited edition hand-sewn hard-bound copies of the book here. Every knitter knows the frustration of running out of yarn. This nagging fear is compounded when the yarn is one-of-a-kind or […]
The purpose of a lot of my secret knitting….
I’m writing a book. Or to be more correct, I’m writing a pattern booklet. After TNNA when I got to spend some time with Ysolda (who was on a grand tour of the US, doing signings and a trunk show of Whimsical Little Knits 1*), I talked to her about the process of self-publishing a […]
Contests and Pattern Release Dates
So when Desdemona was sent out as a kit, the end of the exclusivity (which is the day I can publicly release it) ended up as June 1st. Well, June 1st is also my birthday, so it seemed a good time for a drawing and prizes. Then I realized that Cleite came back to me […]
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. […]
Stuff on my Cat
Ekho is a very laid back and relaxed kitty. He follows me from room to room quite often and is generally underfoot in the mornings when you’re half awake and it’s MOST inconvenient for him to be where your feet are. He tolerates me picking him up a lot and actually enjoys being held like […]
Things I have learned in the past month
1. I don’t do well with posting if I don’t start the week out with a ton of posts all set to publish at daily intervals. Last week was such a crappy week for posting because I didn’t take the time on Sunday to work up the week’s posts. Even if I can get through […]
And the occasional spinning
I love spinning. I just haven’t hardly had the time to sit down when I wasn’t already exhausted. I can’t spin when I’m exhausted, so I have been spinning only rarely. But I’m working on this: For my birthday last year, Margene gave me 2 big bumps of Spinderella‘s Thrums. I figured I’d better at […]
NaSpiMoMo
Margene and Carole (as per the usual), came up with a fabulous idea, to have a National Spin More Month (NaSpiMoMo) in January, and even though the idea of joining things makes a little bile rise up in my rebellious gut, I joined. The chief reason being that I could choose my own goals, there […]
How I justify 2 more sweaters worth of fiber.
I fell down on Friday. I “accidentally” clicked over to Amy’s blog and saw that she’s got a new kit. The sweater is so beautiful that I bought it with only a tiny moment of hesitation that it is knit at 4 spi. 4. I am the girl who knits her socks at 10 spi, […]
