I forgot to take a picture of my spindle, but here is the progress so far with the yarn. From left to right we have a merino silk blend (why I thought this would be a good thing to spin on my first REAL attempt, I will never know), the first attempt with the Icelandic […]

Green Gable FO
Hey everybody! Guess what I’m wearing RIGHT NOW!? That’s right! Green Gable! I finished it just moments before leaving for SnB, and it’s GREAT! C even likes it and he’s indifferent at best about most of my knits. Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (80% cotton, 20% wool) in Mariner Blue. Pattern: Adapted from Green Gable […]
Riverwide Scarf is now available
I figured it was probably time to get this out and available! Check out the store for more details and to purchase, the cost is $5.50 USD and the pattern is charted AND written out. *edited to add*Â There have been a couple questions in the comments, so I’ll answer them here for all to […]
Gee… that was a downer
Sorry to leave the weekend on such a whiney note. Blame it on the hormones. Anyhow… here is my progress (and I do mean progress) on Green Gable! When you’re used to knitting things only on sizes less than US 3 (3.25mm), with yarn no larger than fingering weight, working on US 6’s (4 mm) […]
Green Gable Woes
So knitting had sort of stalled after I finished those last 2 FO’s and had swatched for my Black Pearl Yarns Design, and the idea of swatching some more and ripping out and swatching again, and doing knitting maths just seemed so onerous. So what’s a girl to do! Cast on for Green Gable, that’s […]

The Secret Life of a Knitter: Part II or Why Knitting Celebrities Are Real People
Someone sent me an e-mail a while back asking if I was going to the Snake River Fiber Festival in Idaho. I was moving that weekend, so I had to say no. She responded “Too bad! I was hoping to get your autograph on my copy of Interweave Knits!” I have to tell you, this […]
The Secret Life of a Knitter: Part I
I’ve been asked to review a knitting book for a magazine and I made the mistake of mentioning it to a coworker. He asked “So how do you get that gig?” I paused…. do I tell him? Do I make something up? Do I say I was chosen at random from all the people who […]
Generic UnCreative Title :)
Sorry blogging has been so thin on the ground here at MimKnits. I’ve been quite busy and then trying to recoup from being busy. I was working on the Monster Evil Grant â„¢ and now that that is done, I’ve been sort of regrouping for business stuff. I’ve got a bunch of things looming in […]
I love you Stephanie!
Hidcote’s revision has been e-mailed out to the people who purchased it. I used the e-mail that you included with your customer info. AAAND I just realized that I mailed it out to people who’s checks I haven’t yet received as well.. *headdesk* I sure hope none of you are dishonest. Anyway… yes, and also, […]
