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!
Speechless I’m supposed to give a talk on Thursday for the Palisades Spinning Guild on “Knitting Weird” or something like that – it will be a tie-together of so many threads I blather on about during my teaching sessions. The problem is, I need to take the time to put them in some kind of…
Teaching and Sleeping I taught my 3 hour lace class at Urban Knitter yesterday (a beautiful space!) and it went quite well. It’s always a crap shoot with a class that’s slightly advanced — not so much that all of the students won’t be up to the challenge, but that some of the students may…
The Nanny So now I feel better – slightly (jeez, can I whine ANY more?) but I sound like Fran Fein on The Nanny. Too bad I don’t look like her! Tomorrow’s my lace class and I hope I sound better by then. Nothing hurts, my throat isn’t SORE exactly, but I think it would…
Back Home I arrived back home yesterday – it is so GOOD to be back! Of course, being the space cadet I’ve been in the past year, I FORGOT my airline ticket at my sister-in-laws house. Sheesh. She lives in Rowlette, about 50 miles from the airport, so returning to get it was NOT an…
Proud I just learned that one of my students finished her first sweater – I’m so PROUD of her! Our local knitting meetup – the Yarrrn Pirates (we meet in Livingston every month as part of the worldwide knitting meetup) gets together this Wed so I’m offering an impromptu finishing class for our regulars who…
Sorting I’m in Dallas now until Tuesday – this time I flew (airfares were cheaper if I waited a week – BTW, the bereavement fares are a joke – they’re 1/2 of the FULL fare on a flight – therefore they start at $600!) Yesterday was sorting day. My sister in law and I went…
Sincerest Form? The first image is from the latest Wool Connection catalog. The second image is a design of mine from Knitting With Simplicity magazine back in the mid-80’s. Pretty funny, huh? An imitation of several design elements can be a coincidence – but c’mon guys, they even STYLED it the same with the scarf!…
Travel Again I’m returning to Dallas for a week or so to be with Mom and Karen, so I’ll probably be laying low blog-wise. I will have access to my email and the internet, so I’ll be happy to correspond with anyone who has a question or comment. Still numb – I realize I’m shocked,…
Thank You I’ve received such an outpouring of love and support that I’m overwhelmed. Thank all of you for your kindness and understanding. I heard from IK yesterday that they’re very happy with the last two pieces I sent (whew!) and they want to run one of my ravelings pieces – that’s nice to hear….
