It’s Baaaa-aaack… I FINALLY figured out how to make my yakks code work again – you can leave a comment! The problem was dueling java scripts. I still can’t figure out how to make the code AND the mouseovers work together, but the code is really more important for the blog at this point. I’ve…

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!
… okay … At first glance it would seem that the Art in the Park craft show wasn’t a huge personal success – I only sold about 20 pieces. However, as we checked out other booths to see how they’d done we realized that we’d done much, much better than so many vendors. Some vendors…
Earrings! I’ve always loved them, and now I find myself making them with wild abandon! Finishing up the last pieces for tomorrow (Rain – stay AWAY!) and at the same time swatching with some new yarns that have arrived for an Interweave Knits project. It’s colorwork – and HOW! Rereading this it sounds like some…
Preparations for Craft Fair The shopping bags are here, I just picked up my order form – I’m finishing up earrings and bracelets and working out ways to display them! I have the canopy, my parter in this endeavor has the table – we’re getting ready! Here’s how I’ve decided to show off my hats….
AMAZING day! From start to finish, a wonderful day! I got a bee in my bonnet about going down to the Maryland Sheep and Fiber Fest a few days ago. I got screwed up in my timing and thought it was later in the year. When the dust had settled and after I’d rearranged my…
Lovely Class! We just had the best class – the first of the Technique Sampler Bag – what fun that was! We have 5 more session, but the first class is generally pretty low key – just the casting on and starting the bottom of the bag. I re-vamped the instruction book this time around….
Neglectful Sorry I haven’t been keeping up (or upkeeping) the blog entries. Life flies and I float along on the breeze it leaves behind! Yesterday was the Tie Dye Brownie meeting – what a blast THAT was! I cannot WAIT for the girls to see the T-shirts they’ve dyed (I brought them home still tied…
Busy, busy weekend! Lots of knitting, lots of patterning – and some teaching! Love it! This afternoon I attended (helped organize) a casual coffee to introduce our neighborhood to some the the folks running for office in our Village. Our elections are non-partisan in South Orange – we don’t run on Democratic or Republican tickets,…
Mea Culpa The only thing worse than missing a mistake when you’ve gone over the pattern 15 times is having a professional pattern writer miss the SAME mistake and send it to press! Yes, it’s the Raccoon Sleeve! And NOW we finally know what the problem is! Both IK and I neglected to include instructions…
Comment? What comment?? Day 7 of Spring Break with the kids home. How much work is mom getting done? 0! I promise I’ll try to get the comments situation fixed. Just working through the daily grind. I did get my email working (FINALLY) so now I can send and receive through ModeKnit.com as long as…
