Louche
Look, here I am again, three days in a row! That's nearly unheard of. (Really, I feel bad about my unexpected absence and I'm trying to make up for it. Don't expect it to last too long though, at some point I have to stop writing and actually knit, or [...]
Wanna Share the Pain?
You know how when you hear a recording of yourself it doesn't sound at all like you sound in your head? And I don't know about you, but I never like it. In my head, I'm much more clever/polished/together. When committed to tape, I become alarmingly squeaky. Turns out I [...]
Home Safe
As I mentioned the other day, I've been off on another marvelous little knitting trip. This one was to work with the inimitable Cat Bordhi for a week on my next book. It was an amazing experience. I left knowing that there will be more books and feeling that I [...]
Whoops!
So sorry about that, I didn't mean to disappear! The hotel's version of internet access differed a bit from what I was expecting. But, I'm on my way home now, and should be back to my usual chatty self in a day or two.

Sometimes Yes, Sometimes No
It seemed like a good plan at the time. It really did. The lovely Lauren, she who is kind enough to model for me so often, needs a hat. We discussed hats and the colors and shapes in which hats can be made. We measured. I marveled at the size [...]
Words are Not Dirty
So the latest socks are to be called Louche. If we look up Louche we find: adjective: shady, disreputable, of questionable moral character Now this has led to some controversy. I got a few ravelry messages explaining that it was terribly inappropriate for me to use such a 'bad' word [...]
Wanna Take a Trip?
Back in the summer of 2009, The Boy and I took a little trip to Maine. That was in the early days of this website, and I was shamefully remiss in writing about it. The only real mention of it I can find is here. Despite my uncharacteristic reticence about [...]
Off the Needles
Louche are done and up for testing over on ravelry. If you're itching to make them right this minute, come volunteer to help me beat the errors out of the pattern.
