Remiss
Yes, yes indeed I have been remiss. My magical socks? The super fast ones? Well they are indeed quick, but they are not quite self knitting. I'll likely finish up the first one this weekend. In the meantime, I think I've figured out why this yarn seems to be magic. [...]
Sockupied
Some time last year, the charming Anne Merrow, editor extraordinaire of Interweave's Sockupied, got in touch and asked if we could hatch a plan. Um, yes. The answer was definitely yes. So we plotted and planned. Swatches were made, yarns were procured, patterns were written, and socks were knit...all in [...]

Napping
One of my many goals in this life is to skip over being old and go right into being venerable. I like the sound of venerable much better than old. It has all the respect and wisdom bits, but sounds like it might avoid the creaky knees and questionable eyebrows [...]
Speechless
You guys are amazing. The response to the new book has been tremendous, and I am deeply grateful. Writing a book is always a leap of faith. I spend at least a year of my life bringing it into being. I spend ridiculous amounts of time pondering the yarn choices [...]
