In support of this lovely new Craftsy class I have, I just wanted to let you all know about my blog tour! I’ll be answering interview questions, there will be reviews of the class, and I’ll be guest posting too. I’ll update this post with more stops as they’re scheduled, but there should be a […]

I went to Denver and all I got was THIS AWESOME ONLINE CLASS!
So a while back I went to Denver, craft beer capital of the world, and home to quite possibly the happiest place on Earth (hint: Disneyland is not it), Fancy Tiger Crafts. I got to do a Trunk Show with the wonderful knitters of Denver, and attend Craft Night there and the place instantly felt […]
That moment before I breathe again….
You know that moment… when you’re waiting for an answer, waiting for the next step, or you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop…. that held breath, the suspended time. That frozen moment, where you feel like time has slowed and will never reach its conclusion. Yeah. That’s where I am. I’m winding up the […]
Cookie A KAL, Pinstripe Sock available, and current WIPs
If you’re local, I’m running a Cookie A Knit-along at Black Sheep during the month of March. Cookie’s patterns can sometimes be a bit intimidating in their complexity, but sign up for the KAL and I’ll help you walk through it while we all knit some of her beautiful patterns! It promises to be fun […]
Shop News
I upgraded my shop this evening and added the paypal express checkout module, which I had been trying to add for a good 6 months but finally got all the pieces in play tonight (the backup worked perfectly, which rarely happens, and I got all the upgrades and installs right. Woot!). If you notice anything […]
New Month, New Leaf, New Template
As we begin March I am eager for Spring. I wore my Chacos on Saturday to teach a class, had a lovely walk from the train to Black Sheep and then was rewarded for my optimism by howling sheets of frozen rain pelting me in the face on the walk back to the train. Perhaps […]
A sneak peek at Zephyros.
Thought you all might like the heads up. The ‘Lace in the Woods’ Retreat has been cancelled. If you were registered Jackie should be getting you a refund shortly. If you were planning on going, sorry! It sounded like it would be fun. But you know what they say about doors and windows and all […]

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 […]
holding in the sighs of relief
I finished the layout and formatting for the Aspen Grove Shawl, but then in talking to my Mom on the phone, I realized that I’m teaching an intro to lace class on Saturday and I haven’t even put together the handouts yet. *headdesk* Clearly, I know what I’ll be doing the rest of the week. […]
