Reality Check I had a brief thought yesterday afternoon that maybe I rushed the publication of the book – what’s the hurry, after all… Then on my way out to the Dancing Goat last night for my Monday evening knitting, I tripped over a box from Knitters with all of my submissions returned. Actually, I…

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!
Say my name, say my name… Andrea wrote in comments: …this is the dumbest question ever, but how do you pronounce your last name? mode-sit or mo-de-sit? Sorry. It’s not the dumbest question ever! It’s a really hard name to pronouce if you haven’t heard it before, and the anglicization of it doesn’t help! MOD-uh-set…
Gulp… I know this is probably old hat to many of you who already work in the book publishing industry, or have published a book, but I just took a deep breath, put my head down and registered online for an ISBN #. It’s not cheap, let me tell you, but the initial reaction to…
Amazing! Well, aside from having two phenomenal classes today (I’m so proud of Betsy, Michelle & Colleen! All making amazing sweaters – too cool!) the response to the book has been pretty great! I am blown away when I see how many have sold so far – thanks so much! I really hope you guys…
It’s heee-eeer… I’ve sort of put my life on hold for the past few days to push the book out. It just felt that the momentum was so good that I had to keep moving on it! I’ve barely knit in 3 days, and it’s high time I got back to Jen’s cardigan (only finishing…
Proofing! I’ve spent the last two days barreling through some of the writing and proofing on the book, and I’m amazed at the progress I’ve made. I hadn’t realized how much I’d put together. With just a few more patterns and some more cleaning up, I’ll be finished! I proofed for 9 hours straight today…
Calling All Good Wishes… Well, Gerry’s interview two weeks ago went so well they want him back for a final interview Tuesday (tomorrow). Please send all good thoughts his way at 10:00 am (EST) as he schmoozes with yet another search committee! His suit is pressed and he’s ready to roll! Burn, baby, burn!
Ahhhh, Chai Latte! Yet another reason to love my scuncii on a Sunday morning… Yesterday was amazing – two classes (one rather small, one just right) and some beautiful results! First of all – in my Saturday morning class Sandra finished a sock!!! This is a big, beautiful deal and there couldn’t be a luckier…
Surprise! I LOVE surprises, and I got a terrific one yesterday! This Saturday I have a dyeing class and yarn has been arriving for it on a regular basis. I received a box from Indiana yesterday and was puzzled for a bit- I didn’t order any yarn from Indiana… But it was full of DYE!…
Sew Excited! When Hannah was a baby I found a small electric (battery powered) Singer sewing machine at a yard sale. I put it away and almost forgot about it. This weekend I brought it down and we cleaned it, oiled it, rolled a bobbin, put in a new needle and Hannah learned to use…
