On Ze Road Again…. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the John Candy & Eugene Levy in The Shmenge Bros, The Last Polka but they’re version of “on the road again” has been in my head for days. Why? Because I’m (one, two, one-two-three) “On ze road again…” I left on Wed and stayed…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Preparing to Leave It’s always hard to determine what one should take on a trip – especially a teaching / family mix of a journey. Two things I wish I could take would be Hannah & Maxie. But I’m teaching and would have nothing to do with them while in Carolina, or while I’m visiting…
Back in Time The past few weeks here in South Orange have been so idylic – the weather is warm, sunny – and even the thunderstorms have a cinema-esque feeling to them. I’ve watched the gang of kids from the neighborhood (Han & Max, plus two next door, four the next door down and 2…
Tying Up Loose Ends I’m spending the next few days tying up loose ends before I leave – making up kits to bring and sell, putting together teaching materials and setting up materials lists, working out itineraries and finding places to stay! I hadn’t sat down and told the kids that I’d be leaving until…
Chilly Spring Day It’s a bit chilly today for a May day, but I love the weater a bit on the cool side so it’s alright with me! I taught in Parsippany today – a 5 hour class for the Jersey Knitters on Fair Isle and Afterthought Heel & Toe Socks. Both went really well…
Thank You Clara! If you’re not already familiar with Knitters Review then you need to get yourself over there and check it out! It’s such a terrific resource (I really dig the events page, it keeps me updated) and the forums are very happening. Why am I talking like a hep cat? Anyway, this isn’t…
I Love A Rainy Knittin’ Night! I forsook my usual Wednesday knitting group (sorry Pirates – I missed you!!!) to travel up to a new yarn shop in Nyack, NY. It’s called Knitting Nation and it’s run by Jane & Joanna (pictured on their website!) They’re at 30 N. Broadway and they’re not set up…
Smilin’ Again! The tooth is fixed (thank you Dr. Sabin!) and I’m happy again! Now if I could only get my new Zire21 to hotsync (what an annoyance!) I sent out an email with new classes yesterday to my list of interested parties. If you’d like an update on my classes and didn’t get one…
MS&W Man, what a great day we had yesterday! After a rocky start in the morning (first one child, then the other, decided they didn’t want to wear mom’s clever “child of a knitting heretic” T-shirts… finally they relented and on the way home both agreed that they were proud to be a part of…
Tea, anyone? This was one of my favorite projects – and now it’s up online at IK (It will be in the Summer issue, on sale May 18th) In answer to Janice’s question, no – I didn’t use any stiffner. These were knit on size 2 & 3 needles (generally the yarn calls for size…
