Psssst… Here’s the view from the porch of the Shawmont Burn, baby, burn!

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!
Seaside Retreat Well, I spent a sensational afternoon/early evening in Ocean Grove with my two little redheads and am even MORE convinced that this retreat is a grand idea! Option 1 – SHAWMONT ($90 – $154 double occupancy) 9/13 weekend ONLY This is a hotel that I’m in love with. It would be amazing for…
Treasure Box? This always happens – I get the box, the yarn is astounding – then somehow each ball develops the ability to speak and they chide me constantly, “What are you going to DO with us??” “Why aren’t you coming up with any amazing ideas?” “Do you even KNOW how to design…?” (that last…
Treasure Box I just got a box full of amazingly beautiful yarns from Berrocco. I love these boxes. They’re swatching yarns for me to use to submit designs to Berrocco, and also to other venues (magazines, etc.) It’s so inspiring to get a nice, big box of good yarn – and also great to see…
Unemployed 4 Dean! Well, it was inevitable. You can visit our new site – which is still in process (not a lot of useful links there yet…) and look at the lovely graphics I’ve designed! There’s also a link to the right to our cafepress store (proceeds will be donated to the DeanforAmerica campaign) Mama…
Too hot to ______ You fill in the blank. So hot. However, I did vacuum, do the laundry and generally clean today. So much for the clutter. I also submitted a few scarf ideas for a book – they were well received which is nice. I am dreaming of the vacation cabin in Maine and…
Clutter I’m overwhelmed with clutter. On hot days it just seems to get to me much worse. The house has little tidbits, pieces, odd items strewn about in a haphazard oh-what-the-hell-it’s-summer kind of way. Makes me nuts. I work on not being nuts (or not showing that I’m nuts) and allowing the creeping clutter to…
Someone on the historic knit list mentioned this today… Knit on, knit on… This is a Robert Capa photo of French (soldiers? ambulance drivers?) resting and knitting during a lull. My yakks code is acting very odd and I can’t read the posts at the moment. How annoying! Burn, baby, burn!
Down East Or is it Up North? I have no clue. At any rate, I’ve commited us to a week at a cabin in Maine the first full week in August. I feel terrific about this, as you probably can tell, because if I didn’t have the promise of getting away I don’t know what…
Unemployed For Dean Even without a paycheck, we still have a voice. I guess I’m not technically unemployed – but my husband is – our family is – and it’s rough. I’m the hardest working unemployed person I know, but that’s a lot of what freelancing is – submitting designs on spec, hoping someone will…
