My most humblest apologies for being excessively tardy with posting this. I’ve been obsessed (obviously) with other things. I still want to help more people make their own sweaters before the end of the year. For me it’s helping us deal with the downturn one sweater at a time. Also, it’s wonderful to see the [...]

Square Needles and I think I might be burned out…
Day 3 from the Sock Summit and I’m feeling overwhelmed… just kinda “socked” out. I’m seriously considering giving up my ticket to the Luminary Panel for tomorrow afternoon and ditching my class. I just re-read the description. What was I thinking????! Of course I’ll go.
I bought two pairs of Kollage Circular Square Needles at the [...]

Sock Summit Finds
I’m done.
I came away from the Sock Summit with a respectable but not an extravagant haul. Some of my favorite finds were two skeins of yarn from “Creatively Dyed Yarns.” I apologize for the graininess of the photos, I will try to take photos in daylight soon and post them here. I’ve become a big [...]

Meaning of Life? Nah… Just a Reminder of What’s Truly Important.
We popped into see this film, $9.99 last night and I was quite charmed by the whole experience. The animation was wonderful, the shading and textures on the characters was a refreshing sight from all the clean lines we see here in America with all the MacAnimation we get from the [...]

Artfibers Yarntasting Part Deux
Wonderfully thick yarn called Udon in color 05
Hello there again!
Leila Wice of Deboko Design was kind enough to send a load of photos from the Artfibers Yarntasting event my way. I’m posting a few more here. I’m also including most of the photos in a gallery below so you can see more of the swatches [...]

I’m full. I can’t possibly knit anymore
No, not really. I could actually keep knitting.
Yesterday I hosted a Yarntasting party in Overlook Park.
At least over twenty people showed up from the invitee list. It was such great fun!!!! Surprisingly, it was a bit chilly and windy early when we started but the sun eventually came out. Many people brought food and drink [...]

Offering classes this summer at the Naked Sheep
Summer’s here and I’m teaching a few classes at the Naked Sheep in lovely North Portland. I’m pretty excited about the crocheted cardigan class as I’ve discovered myself that you can make pretty and stylish garments in crochet. It’s not just about granny squares, afghans and toilet roll cozies (not that those are bad things).
You [...]

Embrace Math – Ditch the Fear
I should be writing the very tardy fourth episode for my raglan sweater, but I’ve got a bee in my bonnet. I am probably going to alienate a few people by saying this, but I can’t stand it anymore. Every time a woman says “I can’t do math” or “I hate math” I want to [...]

Recuperation and waiting projects
I’ve been pretty sick for the past two weeks. Actually the last three or four days or so I’ve been on the mend. Earlier this week I came down with a bad bout of bronchitis. Which had me laid up in bed resting, taking antibiotics and drinking lots of “Breathe Easy” tea. I honestly think [...]

Raglan Sweater Episode 3: Working up the body & armpit gussets
I’m sorry I’m extremely tardy in posting this. I’ve been incredibly distracted by among other things Norah Gaughn’s Tweedy Aran Cardigan. I swore I would do my best to avoid knitting sweaters that I would have to seam, but looks like I broke my oath .
In the sweater I knit for Eric I didn’t [...]
