And After…
Quick and not-so-great snap (it is unpleasant outside, I don't want to be outside, so I didn't stay long) just to show you the much more relaxed shape these take on post blocking. Compare that to the tight bunchy shape before blocking. Some time I'll get close up pics [...]
Why Yes, I am Rather Exacting
I explained last time how I deeply truly love flared cuffs. They fit beautifully, make my hands look all pretty and girly, and are ridiculously convenient. The only thing they have against them is that they can be tricky to block. But no more, I have found the solution. Graph [...]
Greetings Underlings
We interrupt your regularly scheduled knit blogging to bring you an important kitten announcement. Kitten Overlord Barry has taken the 'over' part of his title a bit too seriously and devised a way to get to the top shelf of the bookcase. This does not bode well for Barry, the [...]
Shamelessly Girly
Of course, I did manage to squeeze in a bit of knitting while I was away. I made good progress on the blue, leafy socks. I'm about 3/4 done with the second one and should have a finished pair to show you soon. But I wanted to see if I [...]
Retreat, Mind the Loot
The goal of this retreat is for people who are working on self publishing knitting books to get together and help each other. Well no, it's a bit broader than that. We've got a few things that aren't exactly books, and a few things that aren't exactly knitting. But the [...]
Retreat, Now With Work and Secrecy
On Thursday, the retreat proper began. This is where it gets tricky to talk about. We're all there to make progress on our various projects (and to help other folks make progress on theirs). That means things that get discussed there are often still fairly confidential. This is understandable and [...]
Retreat (now with actual rest)
Having spent 12 hours traveling on Monday, and having engaged in unexpectedly vigorous relaxing on Tuesday, I decided to see if I could spend Wednesday in a slightly more restful fashion. I went into the town of Friday Harbor and passed a lovely morning perusing book stores, art galleries, second [...]
Retreat, Part II
After the stroll (no, no it was more of a hike -- a hike with moments of slog), it was time for lunch. I went back to Eastsound (small island, small towns, that was the closest spot that promised a selection of lunch spots). I stormed the first restaurant I [...]
Retreat (noun or verb, you pick)
The choice seemed to be either the details of my trip were a bit disjointed and out of focus, or they didn't show up for ages and ages. I made the executive decision that quick and scattered was better than late and ordered. For those of you in need of [...]
Sneaky, Part IX
And finally, the stellar Vice Chubbie in Lauren. (I've run off to Washington to look at lovely water and hang out with other members of the Visionary Authors and work on plans for future books. While I'm gone, I'm showing you sneak peeks of half the projects in the upcoming [...]
