Fever Dreams
So I seem to have lost a week. Some time weekend before last, I thought to myself 'hmm, I have a bit of a sniffle, perhaps I'll lie down for a moment.' Then yesterday I dragged my stinking carcass out of bed, blinked, grunted, and wondered what the hell happened [...]
Coop Knits Socks, Review & Giveaway
One of the most charming parts of TNNA (and yes, I do still owe you the official TNNA post, but I seem to have brought back the traditional TNNA cold, which has taken up residence in my ear and kept me more or less in bed, so this week has [...]
Let Me Help You With That
Like many of the designers I know, I very very rarely buy pattern books. Part of this is because I don't have time to knit other people's patterns (I don't have time to knit my own patterns), and part of it is because I don't want to accidentally see something [...]
Lycaena virgaureae Knit Along
I’ll be having knit alongs for each of the pattern pairs in The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. This month we're starting the two patterns inspired by the Lycaena virgaureae print (you can click on the print to see it bigger, it really is quite lovely). That's these delicate orange [...]
Sandy
One of the goals for the San Francisco trip was to get some photos of the current sock. We tried going out and finding something with the bridge in the background (we're tourists, we're allowed), but it wasn't quite working out. So I stuffed the socks in my purse as [...]
Miss Blossom
I'm back from TNNA and suffering from that odd mixture of exhaustion and exhilaration that comes from long hours spent in the company of others who do this funny thing I do. I both want to take a very long nap, and want to start in on all the new [...]
TNNA Bound
If all has gone according to plan (and if you're reading this on Saturday or Sunday), I'm currently hanging out at the Visionary Author booth at TNNA (we're in 114, 116, & 118 so come say hi if you're there). In order for that to happen, all of these things [...]
Out the Door
I'm out the door bright and early this morning and on my way to TNNA. This afternoon is booth set up, this evening is stiff drinks and catching up with friends. I'm looking forward to it. Levon, on the other hand, does not seem to approve. He thinks I just [...]
This Time I Brought the Camera
I am packing for TNNA. Or possibly driving to TNNA. Or, depending on just how much time I have and how diligent I am about writing posts ahead of time to go up while I'm down there, possibly even hanging out at TNNA. But just because I'm in a bit [...]
Unexpected
Sometimes the surprise finds are the best. I knew I'd visit yarn stores on the trip, and I fully expected to enjoy them (and did). I planned to go out to the shore, and expected that to be delightful (it was). I did not expect to find a small pile [...]
