The Venerable Tweed
My father has a sweater. Well no, he has lots of sweaters. But our tale here concerns one sweater in particular. It is a rather well aged sweater. As far as we can tell, it's a few years older than me (and I am shockingly old, it surprises me more [...]
Balance
You guys rock. The response to the book has been tremendous. I can't thank you enough. It's been amazing to read all of your messages and emails. But, because the universe seeks balance, it apparently needed to kick me in the teeth to make up for all the fun of [...]
Now We Are Three
Three years ago, I sat up way too late throwing together a quick website. The goal of the site was to provide a convenient place to host a little free pattern for a pair of socks I'd whipped up. I liked the socks, and I thought a few other folks [...]
Hooky, Part II
When last I left you, I'd been grudgingly allowed to check into my hotel, despite my scandalous lack of male supervision. Determined to confirm the desk clerk's low opinion of me, I went right back out a little while later (at night, alone, oh the horrors) and headed to my [...]
Cover
Did I show you the cover? No, I don't think I did. Now there's every chance you don't actually care (which would be a totally reasonable way to feel...I likely wouldn't much care if it wasn't my own book), but I'm rather taken with it. See? Those yellow socks more [...]
Hooky

Countdown
So...it's done. All done (which is why I desperately needed to play hooky this past weekend). The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet has gone off to the printer, and the electronic version is ready to go. I'll be putting it out on Tuesday, March 13. This means that if you've bought the [...]
Well that was Refreshing
I'm a firm believer in the restorative power of playing hooky. Sometimes it's the only appropriate response to a given situation...or at least sometimes it's the best response to a given situation. So this weekend, I played hooky. I ran off to Lansing to spend the weekend with some old [...]
Back Soon
Sorry for the radio silence. I ran away from home and blithely shirked all adult responsibility for the weekend. The good news is that this means I'll have plenty to tell you about once I'm back to being a grown up next week. Until then, I highly recommend the shirking [...]
The Only One?
Am I the only one who has found themselves brushing their teeth into the shower because there's something soaking in the sink and the thought of taking it out and dealing with it properly is just too overwhelming to contemplate before bed? Because if I am the only one, then [...]
