I’ve been doing a lot of little things here and there lately, some of which aren’t necessarily blogworthy. I decided that I wanted to make a pair of socks with this beautiful Lorna’s Laces sock yarn I bought in TX, but I wanted to try knitting it. I was inspired by an episode of Knit [...]

I was lucky enough to receive my Patchwork Swap package this week, sent by Valerie of Knitting in Pink. (Swappers: Remember, the deadline to send your package is April 13th, and be sure to add photos to the flickr pool so we can all see what was exchanged.) My package was generously filled with extras, [...]

Here are the other two projects I finished last week, both of which will be the subject of classes I’m teaching at The Yarn Shop. The schedule isn’t up yet, but I’ll be sure to mention it here when it is (for the, hmm, two of you who are reading who live in Bozeman?).

First off [...]

I’m still here. I’ve been back in Bozeman since Wednesday and caught a terrible cold as a parting gift from Tejas. It was to be expected, in fact I’m surprised I haven’t gotten sick sooner, but I really haven’t been sick in the hacking/wheezing way since I left New York. At least, not that I [...]

It has been a rough time for me and my family lately. If the blog is quiet, which I expect it to be, please continue to check back as I’m sure I’ll get into the swing of things again.  I’ve been back from TX for five days now and seem to be spinning my wheels- I have lots [...]

Here’s my 2008 craft mosaic:

1. i’m a deep sea diver, 2. all in a row, 3. ceramics class, 4. my new purse, 5. my new shirt (Simplicity 4589), 6. simplicity 2962, 7. my first crocheted socks!, 8. sewn bowl, 9. Sweater for Tegue, 10. Fuschia and Blues Jacket, 11. my apple picking skirt for fall, [...]

Y’all, it is cold here. So, so cold. Cold in the way that if I went outside and sat there for a while, my tissue might actually freeze. So I’ve been a bit cooped up in the house, and going extra crazy in that pre-holiday way. Fun times. I did get around to making this [...]

It’s about time for another procrastinatory (to me)  blatant self promotional post. I’ve got a few projects out in  books and magazines available now, and I wanted share. First off are some lovely holiday items in the latest issue of Sew Simple, which is on newsstands now. I really had fun making these adorable house ornaments, [...]

This weekend I got to work on a hat/cowl/harf or whatever you want to call it. I’ve been thinking about making it for a long time. It started with this hat (now in the collection of Mrs. Loveforever)  and continued in an uncompleted crochet form made from a less wooly yarn. I never finished it, because I [...]

LuluBeans asked if I had a chance to make anything from the lovely yarn I ordered before the holidays. I started with this gorgeous stuff:
 
And ended up with this:
 
A super simple K1, P1 ribbed hat. The yarn was so pretty that  I didn’t want to do anything complicated, and I knew I’d get more mileage [...]
