Ran Away, Part 2
You know those days where everything just seems to line up and work? Lots of stuff gets done without any feeling of being rushed or frantic? Yeah, somehow we managed to have a whole weekend like that. I'll do the abbreviated version here. (Why? Because it's my website and I [...]
Ran Away
Friday afternoon we set kittens up to be self sufficient for a day or two, tossed a change of clothes in a bag, flung some things in the car, and ran away. Our favorite band, Jukebox The Ghost, was playing in Ithaca. We were unable to resist. If you find [...]
Beginnings
One of the folks I had the pleasure of meeting at TNNA this June was Alisha of Alisha Goes Around. I'd first heard about Alisha after 2011's TNNA (and all the things I heard were ever so nice). I very much wanted to check out her yarn for myself. Alas, [...]
So There’s This Thing I Wanna Try…
You know what happens when you (sort of accidentally) start a business and then run it by yourself? You find yourself running a business by yourself. That can be just the tiniest bit overwhelming. It's hard to know when you're done for the day, and that gets a bit challenging [...]
Step 1, Show Off the Knitting
I'm off to hang out with the Northcoast Knitting Guild tonight at 7. Now, if I let myself think about this, it would make me nervous. It's not that I mind standing up and talking in front of people. That's actually totally ok. It's that I don't really think I [...]
Coming Soon
You know what's really sort of awesome? When people you like and respect, people whose books you have sitting on your shelves, come and ask you if you'd like to be a part of a project they're working on. Hint, the answer is nearly always an enthusiastic yes (that 'yes' [...]
Wee Hat the Third
I think the phase has passed. I've got three hats. The family in question has three sprockets. I think the numbers line up pretty well. But before they go off to live with their new owners (after all, it is still awfully warm here), I wanted to show them to [...]
Experiments (and a Giveaway)
I spend a lot of time reading and thinking and talking about books and how books get made and how books get to readers. It's easy to see that the publishing industry is changing dramatically. It's harder to figure out how to navigate the new landscape in a way that [...]
Yes, More
I just realized I've been a terribly negligent blogger. I've got three little things I should have told you about. Bad blogger, no cookies for you. The first is a little history of my knitting over on Alana's podcast, Never Not Knitting. You can all go hear just how bad [...]
Wee Hat the Second
Again, not actually all that wee. Same idea as before, glorified stripes, never more than one color on a row (because I'm lazy and not a very good knitter, that's why). This one was super speedy. Cast on when I finished the first one, cast of yesterday. Still smitten. One [...]
