TOM! Way to go, Tom! Tom also had the honor of having the shortest comment, which in NO way affected his chances of winning! It’s cool that the winner’s a guy (I actually had to do my random pick twice because I picked someone who’d won something a few weeks ago the first time around!)…

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!

Passing of a Friend
We recently lost a friend, a local fellow who lived just a few blocks away and who also had Multiple Myeloma. Gerry sent a lovely note to his wife, and I wanted to share it on my blog: I was so sorry to learn of Malcolm’s passing. Though we’d only known each other a short…
Congratulations, Kim!
I’ll be taping a workshop for Interweave Knits over the next few days, then returning home. While I’m here, though, I’m in heaven!

A Boost and A Book Giveaway
It’s been a busy few weeks since I’ve been home from TNNA. I was SO wiped out and full of pain at the end of my trip, but I’m overjoyed at the positive effect my bike riding has had on my muscle and joint pain. The heat here in Minnesota was terrible last week, but…
Gerry Update
The great thing about this cancer, Multiple Myeloma, is that EVERY day seems to bring new breakthroughs, and new ways of dealing with the disease.
Crochet Like You Knit It
When Robyn Chachula asked me to be part of her book, Unexpected Afghans, I jumped at the chance. For the record, WHENEVER Robyn asks me to do anything I jump – I love her that much! I love working both with Interweave AND with Robyn, so this project was a no-brainer for me! My own…
