Book Yarn, Part XI
This is the marvelous Dream in Color Smooshy in the color Chinatown Apple. I love this yarn. It is a perfect example of truth in advertising. It is absolutely totally 100% smooshy. That is exactly the right word for it. It feels marvelous and knits up beautifully. Now somehow, I've [...]
In the Deep Dark Woods
Well not quite. These are actually the kind of woods I like. The kind with paved roads and air-conditioned cabins and screened-in porches and plumbing and beds. Civilized woods. Woods that have been carefully maintained to be convenient and comfortable. I don't have much use for the other sort of [...]
Book Yarn, Part X
This is Serenity 20 by Zen Yarn Garden in the color Cherry Garcia. And unlike last time, there are no lies here. Zen is exactly the right word to describe this yarn. It's a lovely merino, cashmere, nylon blend, and it's just about irresistible. Zen Yarn Garden is another new [...]
Book Yarn, Part IX
This picture is a blatant lie. It shows the lovely Shibui Knits yarn in Sock in the color Honey. That part that's all well and good. The lie part is the color. In a fickle moment, I ended up switching from the Honey you see here to the equally lovely [...]
The Three Rs, Part Three
So day one was rowdy, and day two was reverent. Day three can perhaps best be called raucous. It was knitting with Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, it was the final day, and we were all more than a bit slap happy. Things started out well enough. There was learning, there was sharing, [...]
Book Yarn, Part VIII
Next up is Silk Crush Sock by Sweet Georgia in Cypress. I'm going to take a dramatic and unexpected position here and recommend you not click on those links. Not, that is, unless you want to fritter away the next 45 minutes and who knows how many dollars in a [...]
Book Yarn, Part VII
You thought I forgot, didn't you. Or perhaps you thought I forgot my Roman numerals. Somewhat to my surprise, I actually do remember them up through the thousands, which is really all you need. The delay in presenting book yarn has been entirely due to other distracting things going on. [...]
The Three Rs, Part Two
So if day one was rowdy, day two would have to be described as reverent. The second day was spent spinning with Judith MacKenzie. Now you all know that spinning was the thing I was most concerned about. Just days before the class was announced, I had declared that I [...]
Shamelessly Blatant Self Promotion
Well the title really says it all. This is a fairly flagrant moment of self promotion. Feel free to look away if you're easily distressed. Once again someone was kind enough to nominate me to be one of the designers of the month for next year's Sock Knitters Anonymous (SKA) [...]
Winner!
Congratulations to Jolene. I'll be in touch to arrange getting her favorite, Sky Pirate, out to her. That color was a favorite for lots of folks and I'm sure Jolene will enjoy it. Thanks so much to everyone who entered. I love reading all the things you have to say! [...]
