Seeing Progress I’m beginning to see light at the end of the paper tunnel I call TB the book It’s actually begining to come together in a kind of ‘call and response’ format and I can envision a time when it’s finished. Even better, I’m not feeling compelled to throw EVERYTHING that I have in…

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!
We’re still selling! I usually don’t post twice in one day, but running across this story on the internet really steamed my crumpet. Why can’t they leave the Brownies alone? Those poor kids – confused and now in the middle of a controversy. It’s cookies, f’heaven’s sake! In case anyone’s interested – we’re still taking…
Wish Him Luck! Gerry had a job interview today. He thinks it went well, but you never know how things will end. Send him your good vibes and wishes – they said they’d be making the decision sometime next week… I sent out the holiday book ideas – they’re pretty cool and I hope a…
New Round of Classes! My new round of Spring/March Classes begins tonight, and I’m very excited! My April / May / June are filling up with away-classes, so I’m looking forward to a month of teaching pretty much here in my own backyard! Speaking of backyard, it looks as if the weather for the dyeing…

Knitting Is Fun I FINALLY ran across my good friend’s blog – I knew it was out there, but kept missing it (I know what you’re thinking, if you’re such good friends why not just email her and ask for the URL..? Too easy) Anyway, click on the link above for a glimpse into yet…
I Got Steam… I saw this infomercial a couple of months ago for the Scunci Steamer (yes, from the hair product company) and fell in love with a steamer. It was small, red and had a very long hose. The woman demonstrating it breathlessly explained that it would clean just about everything and disinfect it,…

Youlove the craft and beauty of traditionalthings, and you value the comfort andexperience of knitting as much as the results.But while you are reveling in your warm cozies,don’t get stuck. Warm is wonderful, but so isthe whole…
Eh…. I’m always fascinated at the wide range of opinion when my classes peruse a new knitting magazine. What would be a fashion faux-pas to one, is high art to another (or maybe high art IS a fasion faux pas..?) At any rate, it is a humbling experience to see designs that I like from…
