OK, all of you intrepid knitters. My creativity has been all used up, so I’m opening this up for your help. I need a name for this Camisole. As you may recall (or have noticed) I don’t like to name my patterns with female names. It honestly drives me crazy, but that’s another subject for […]

I have drama.
So.much.drama. Here’s the situation. The camisole for Sensual Knits is in progress, but I thought I might be running short on yarn, so I asked about getting more. There was a mistake in the shipping and the yarn was sent to the editor instead of to me, but I got it yesterday. Right now the […]
Lace Design, Part III: The Production
The Production: Once each chart is drawn up, I transfer it into my Excel spreadsheet (or now Knit Visualizer although I haven’t done a shawl yet using KV), and then I knit the piece from the digitized chart. This helps me catch mistakes in the charting. It also gives me a base to make changes […]
Thanks for the great response everyone! I’m glad you like the new theme! I would LOVE to take the credit you seem to want to give me for it, but I didn’t design the theme or even do the header art work. I just got the theme from here, installed it and then used the […]
And…. SWITCH!
For all you feed readers who don’t usually visit the site, I’ve changed my theme. Come take a look, if you will, and let me know what you think. I’ve changed the color like… 5 times today, but I think I’m good for now. 😀 I may change it tomorrow, or I may change it […]
Lace Design, Part II: The Process of Design
EDITED to fix links. Sorry! Something went tweaky when I copied and pasted my html. The Process of Design: (click all images for larger ones) When I’m working on a triangular shawl, worked from the top down (like Icarus, Hidcote, Adamas, Seraphim, and both Mountain Peaks), I start with the basic framework. The construction of […]
Lace Design, Part I: Inspiration
Margene mentioned in her post Today that she wondered what my muse might have been when designing the Hidcote Garden Shawl, and since I’ve been meaning to post something about how I design… the inspiration, the process, the production. To keep from loosing your interest, I’ll break it up into parts. The Inspiration For me, […]
Apparently I have no life.
I spent the weekend doing none of the things I had planned to do (cleaning, baking, laundry, organizing the stash). Instead I sat on my ass, watched Season 2 of Grey’s Anatomy (OMG! The drama just sucks you in!) borrowed from my lovely neighbor, and knit the Black Walnut Socks. And finished them. I think […]
Knit Socks…… or DIE!
The Finger Monster says “KNIT SOCKS!” and I must obey, because really… look at those teeth! Skeeery! The yarn is some Claudia Handpaints that I got from The Loopy Ewe in the colorway “Black Walnut” This yarn is proving quite amusing! The brown tones change from grayish to a deep burgandy depending on the light […]
The soundtrack in my head
I listen to a lot of music… most of the time I listen to something pulsing at work… whether it’s some New Metal, or Techno or Drum & Bass…. something with a good rhythm. I helps me stay focused during the day. For the past week I’ve been playing a CD with a bunch of […]
