The work craziness is all but over. I have to go collect some binders to FedEx back to the people they belong to and that’s IT! There were a couple of 12 hour days, about 10 cartons (cartons, not reams) of paper, and a REALLY cold conference room, but it’s over, most likely for the […]

Work is really busy and really stressful right now.  I have been knitting, but mostly it has been knitting and ripping and knitting and ripping on BP2, the green camisole. The yarn is lovely and I enjoy working with it, but I was trying to knit the camisole top down in order to avoid […]
Enlarging PDF Charts
In my last post, Judy asked about enlarged charts. It’s something I’ve meant to get around to, but have just not had the time, as I would have to do every chart for every pattern I’ve put out and set up the store for the ability to purchase different versions, etc… which will take a […]
Hail Brigid
Happy Groundhog Day, Feast of Brigid, Imbolc, or what have you. In honor of Brigid, who was herself a poetess, it’s the Bloggers (Silent) Poetry Reading day. And to celebrate intelligent women, here is my favorite from Emily Dickinson. Some keep the Sabbath going to church; I keep it staying at home, With a bobolink […]
Spinning soothes the savage beast
When my brain needs soothing and my wrists and arms need a break, I turn to spinning as my solace. Since borrowing the wheel, I’ve been acquiring fiber at an alarming rate since I can now spin a 3 or 4 ounce glob of fiber in a relatively short time period. I came home from […]

Stash Enhancement Philosophy
To soothe my bruised ego I went to Three Wishes this weekend to buy some goodies. I meant to buy yarn that was on sale, but none of it was speaking to me quite like the spinning fiber. I ended up buying some Wasatch Watercolors rovings, one a blend of purples, black and a hint […]
Not in the mood
I was going to blog today. I was going to show you the awesome yarn I got in the mail for the second book project (BP2), I was going to show you how close I am to finishing my knee socks (probably about 10 more rows), but the magic is gone. I am very busy […]
Change to Errata Handling
If you’ve been a long(ish)time purchaser of my patterns, you’ve probably received an errata e-mail from me before, but due to the growth of this business, I need to change how I do things. With paper patterns being sold to people I have never met or corresponded with, it means I can’t contact everyone who […]
TNNA Post #3: Coming Home and the recovery knitting
Something that should have been in yesterday’s post, but I forgot. In the exhibit hall there in the Conjoined Creations booth there was a familiar site! (apologies for the craptastic photo) They had sold a lot of their soysilk laceweight yarn (Pastimes, the hand painted version and Pastimes, Too, the solid version) using Icarus as […]
