Hyperknittia? I heard this story about hypergraphia on Morning Edition a few weeks ago and realized that I could be accused (diagnosed?) of having this condition; except with knitting… It’s described as, “a driving compulsion to write” and also known as the Midnight Disease At times I feel a driving compulsion to create with fiber…

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!

2 BZ 2 Post I’ve been busy lately, which is very nice! I just finished a third scarf for the movie (to be worn by Elizabeth Shue, which is a nice coincidence as she’s from South Orange originally…) and I’m finishing up some sweaters for Unique Kolors. I’m also FINALLY getting into gear with Jen…
To Dye For! Why are knitters so susceptible to bad puns? As promised, here is a step by step explanation of a dyeing thing-y I’ve been doing. It was inspired by an article in Threads by Rebekah Younger from June 1995 As I’ve said before, I was sort of Rip-Van-Winkling it during the 90’s in…

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Rrrrrrr Superfluous comment, I know. I’ve never been so cold in my life (inside of a house.) And our house is actually pretty WARM (thank heaven we had new windows installed a few years ago – WHAT a difference that made!) But the collective weeks upon weeks of bone chilling cold that we’re feeling,…
Two More At the risk of sounding like a death calendar of sorts, two more folks who I greatly admired from my youth have passed away. Captain Kangaroo (aka Bob Keeshawn) created a TV show that spoke to children in a respectful, non-violent and intelligent way. I certainly appreciated it growing up in Toledo in…
What a wonderful world… We’ve carved such a lovely little knitting community here on the internet – what an odd and beautiful thing it is, huh? I met ML for lunch yesterday – she’s a blog reader who had a suggestion for a possible venue for an Autumn Knitting Retreat in Vermont. We had a…
