Exceptional Students! I taught a great knitting with wire class at MAKE Workshop yesterday – what a TREMENDOUS bunch of students! There were 6 in the class and they ranged from experienced knitters to relative newbies – but not a dweeb in the house! Even the dogs seemed interested in the intricacies of knitting with…

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!
Happy Halloween! Okay – I’ve had precious little knitting on the blog and it’s just terrible, I know. Knitting wise – I had a new student last night – really wonderful! Oddly, she’s the 4th new student I’ve had this year who is taller than I, which would be even more amazing if I weren’t…
Sorting Out I brought home some clothes from my brother. The ones I couldn’t fit in my suitcase (and the one my mother loaned me) were went on later by Mom and Karen along with (inexplicably…) a Gevalia coffee maker my mom ordered for me(!?) Yes, it’s true I love coffee, but the whole thing…
Teaching Hate My husband’s from Bellmore and this story makes my stomach turn. Unbelievable. Read the part at the bottom about 9/11. This article on this gray day has me feeling blue. Burn, baby, burn!
…and exactly where would one find Scratchy? Ichi – “That one with wisdom” What would your Japanese name be? (female) brought to you by Quizilla Burn, baby, burn!

Knit Together I really like the name of John and Joy’s store up in Stamford – and it’s such a terrific new shop – one of the nicest new yarn shops I’ve ever been in! Physically it’s a lovely space – large, bright, airy with plenty of huge windows and natural light that make selecting…
Stand Up Somehow my lectures & classes seem to deteriorate (elevate?) into Stand-up acts. But that seems okay with my listeners – and I’m still able to cover all the technical stuff that I need to, so everyone’s happy (or at least they’re laughing!) Last night I spoke to the Palisades Spinners Guild – what…
Yesterday I feel that I should explain the odd burp in the blog yesterday. A few days ago I got a call from Interweave asking if I would mind if my sweater didn’t run in “the issue” as they were 4 pages over and needed to cut some editorial. As my sweater took up exactly…
Hanging it up I’ve seldom felt so defeated in my life. The groove in my head has finally become deep enough for me to realize that I need to stop banging it against the wall. the rest of this post has been deleted – thank you Livia for the reality check! Putting it Back On…
