I could have a picture of Tilia’s finished body and half finished sleeves, except that I woke up at 7:30 this morning and realized it was Monday, I had forgotten to set my alarm and I had a half hour to get dressed, pack my shit and get to work in order to not be […]

Letter to my Sweater
Dear Tilia, I
Knitting Denial
So I finished the wedding shawl on Friday, blocking and all and I was left with NOTHING to knit. But I figured that would be ok because yarn for a contract piece (with a deadline of June 15) was due to come in the mail. So I started swatching. I swatched some recylced marled yarn […]
New York, NY
I’m going to Philadelphia for The Other Miriam’s wedding in July, but since I’ve never been to New York City and I’m in desperate need of a vacation, I thought I’d take the train up there and see the yarn stores and feel the city. So I’m getting to the point where I really ought […]
2 FO's and a bottle of rum… Arrrgh….
I knit a LOT this weekend. I am waiting for some yarn for a contract piece with a deadline of June 15th, and I thought it would come on Friday, but it didn’t. Nor did it come on Saturday… so when I finished the shawl on Friday (see below the cut), I thought I’d just […]
Well, I never!
Ganked from a bunch of other Ewe-tah Knitters. I think Margene got it right though when you assume that if you knit long enough, you sort of cover the bases 🙂 *edited* My bad… I left out the instructions : D Bold for stuff you’ve done, italics for stuff you plan to do one day, […]

Wool for Art
I have finished Joey’s trade socks 🙂 Pattern: Made up toe-up sock with short row heel and k3p2 ribbing knit until the yarn ran out. Joey has size 10.5 feet, so the cuffs aren’t terribly long. Knit at the same time on 2 sets of double points. Yarn: Regia 4-ply Gray Blue Mouline, 2 skeins. […]
Ravelry ROCKS!
So by now, you may have heard about Ravelry.com I had been sort of ambivalent about it having only heard that it’s a place where you can keep track of your needles and see reviews of patterns and yarns. Until Ysolda‘s post about it, I didn’t know it had anything different for designers, but people… […]
Ulysses and WIPS
Meet Ulysses. He’s a monkey that I bought from the Sundance Catalog Outlet in Sugarhouse. I went in to eye their fabulous sweaters and came out with a woolen monkey who was hand spun and hand knitted by women in Kenya. Draped artfully across Ulysses’ shoulder is the body (just minus the border) of The […]
