Great Sighs of Relief

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 […]

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 […]

TNNA Post #2: The Exhibit Hall, The Fashion Show and Saturday

If you missed my post yesterday, please take a look. I’m searching for a levenger or rollabind punch for cheaper than retail. The Exhibt Hall: HUGE. Ginormous even! There were even birds flying around in the rafters and swooping down at people while they tried to record podcasts. It was like 3 football fields stacked […]

TNNA Post #1: Friday Mostly

On Friday morning (after flying in at almost midnight Utah time) I awoke early for a class with Annie Modesitt on Cables & Lace. I learned to cable without a cable needle (which is surprisingly easy, but totally hard to figure out on your own), and got a bunch of nifty ideas. Annie has a […]

Home

Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know I’m not dead.  I arrived home on Monday morning, but I haven’t blogged because I’ve been busy keeping my bed warm, wearing pajamas all day, and knitting like a maniac because I realized the Book Project 1 & 2 deadline was NOT the end of […]

I would really love to write more…..

….. but I’ve got limited time and a bunch of stuff to do in that time. I’m leaving tomorrow for TNNA in San Diego, so I’ll be away from e-mail most likely until Monday or Tuesday. I’ve got an auto-responder set up for e-mail, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more motivation when I return. […]
