Recently Published…

I’ve been a bit behind in mentioning some of my published projects, and here are two I’d like to share with you. First up is the Candy Cloche (Ravelry Link)  in Interweave Crochet’s Winter 2009 Issue. This hat makes  use of a star stitch (or marguerite stitch) on the brim, and a few readers have [...]

Living Crafts: Winter 09 Giveaway

Last week , just before dinner time, I heard a knock on the door that I wasn’t expecting. It was a box of copies of Living Crafts Winter 09–with my name on the cover!

Now, I’ve had my work in many magazines but I don’t believe I’ve ever had my name on the cover– and this [...]

Stitch Magazine

Sorry for being so silent over here- still settling in and honestly, I’m knee deep in work! I need to step back and do some personal crafting soon (and I’ll let you know if/when I do). But for now, here are a couple of projects I did for the Fall/Winter issue of Stitch magazine.

The cover [...]

Can I Recycle My Blog Post Since It’s 2 Years Old?

I’m still adjusting to our transition and working my fingers to the bone on a big project, and truthfully I haven’t had time to craft a thing for myself lately. I miss my yarn shop job–I’d always have a personal project to work on that was easy enough to stitch between customers. It’s raining cats [...]

As Seen In

The dust is still settling over here and meanwhile I’m about to kick it into high gear on a big project I can’t tell you about. So, hopefully you don’t find these magazine roundups to be too boring, cause that might be about all I’ve got for a while.  I did get to sit at [...]

Recent Crochet Projects

With all of this book and moving hoopla, I think I forgot to mention my most recent crochet projects in Crochet Today (Sept/Oct 2009 Issue). First up is the Raspberry Beret (yes, I’ve been singing that Prince song every time I see a new one on Ravelry). I’m thrilled that it’s been in the top [...]

Sew Simple

It’s time for another blatant self promotion post! I wanted to share this apron project from the latest issue of Sew Simple magazine. (I’m not sure what is up with their website, but wanted to include a link in case it works later…).  It’s an apron–made from jeans.

I added some pretty Amy Butler fabric to [...]

Knit.1 (Spring/Summer 09)

I got my advance copy of Knit.1 Magazine last week and let me tell you, it is good! As in, this might be my most favorite issue ever. There’s a good mix of knitted garments, accessories (socks, scarves, jewelry) and a fair amount of fun fantasy too–I probably won’t be rocking the sequinned miniskirt, but [...]

Recent Projects

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, [...]

A Little Bit of Everything

It’s time to share a few recent projects again, and I’ll be covering everything from scraps to….politics. I don’t want to start any arguments and I’m not telling you how to vote (although I do think it’s important that you vote), but I did want to plug the People in the Middle for Obama Project, [...]
