…and once again I find I have so much to jump into that deciding where to start is the hard part… I’m working on a cabled and colorwork cardigan which I’m really loving, but the VK folks have asked me to reswatch a scarf I’ll have in the Winter IK in three different colors (they…

One of the best things about living in South Orange – which is an amazing little village for many reasons – is the 4th of July Celebration. It’s small, it’s anything but overwhelming, and there is tremendous comfort in the familiarity. I’ve actually been coming to the 4th Celebrations in SO since my friends moved…

Happy Fourth of July Weekend, folks! I heard someone on the radio this morning say, “It’s a birthday party – you don’t go to someones birthday and tell them that they need to lose weight…” A good point. There is so much to be improved, but it’s nice to have a weekend to kick back…

News Flash! The papers aren’t signed yet (so why in the world am I writing…?) but I’ve been approached by and have agreed to write a book on Knitting With Wire for an actual publisher. Yes, someone with offices in New York with elevators and everything! At this point the project looks like it will…

Sign the petition. Off to Hershey!As promised, I’m taking the…

Rest for the WearyIt seems to take longer and longer for me to feel recovered after teaching gigs – who knows why! I came home Sunday, drove back from CT where I had an amazing time (and I’m pretty sure my students did, too!) and immediately crashed. Then when I got up I knit a…

CTHere I am in CT at the Fabric Of Life Retreat in Stratford, CT and having a wonderful time! The location is very nice – I hadn’t stayed at a Homewood Suites before, but it’s comfortable and I do really feel at home. Just without the animals and the kids. And the husband. And with…

The Warren in the SkyThe bunny is with Frith. Philosophically, Hannah’s comment was, “Well, at least when I bury this one, it will still have it’s head…” We have a cat, you see – you do the math. Of course, now Max is bereft that he didn’t get to do most of the burying work….
