Hooray!

You can’t tell from the photo (or maybe you can!) but I have a terrible head cold and drove through some damn scary torrential rains this morning to get to work. I need a nap! But look! Cardi! Pretty! Fun! And I was so excited to set up my first student today with the yarn [...]

The preview for the next issue of Crochet Today magazine is up and WOW! There’s a whole bunch of stuff that makes my fingers itch! Super, super cute and totally wearable stuff. There’s some really elegant and heirloom quality bridal stuff, along with  brightly colored sweaters (hooray for Stitch Nation yarn!), a zoo of cute [...]

Well, this week is just chock full of fun crochet projects after all. Today, Craft published my pullover to cardigan upcycling project. Click here to see it! (Note: There’s an accompanying PDF, but that won’t be up till tomorrow due to technical issues).

Long story short: This month’s seem is recycling/upcycling. I have a couple of [...]

Today I want to show you the before and after of the Flower Power Pillow (ravelry link) in the Spring 2010 issue of Interweave Crochet. As with the Kaleidoscope Eyes Mat (ravelry link), I made this project twice. Again, in my version, I was working with scraps. Generally when I have time to make something for [...]

So I lied when I said the blog would be quiet this week– I didn’t realize that the preview of Interweave Crochet’s Spring issue would finally be posted, and I’m too excited about my patterns to wait to blog about this issue!  I have 2 patterns in the magazine, the Flower Power Pillow (ravelry link) [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
