Ahhhhhhhhh — That’s more like it! FINALLY I figured out how to put my own template on my blog site. I can’t believe it took me so long to figure out, because it wasn’t that hard. Hey – if anyone in the CT/NY area is interested in the CT Fiber Fest classes you’d better register…

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!
Worth the Trip! Last evening I drove up to Elmsford to speak at the Westchester Knitting Guild meeting – what a great bunch of knitters! Everyone had such intelligent questions and the passion for the craft was in the air! I have not been as active with my speaking this year as I would have…
“…getting to know you…” I stopped in to the new yarn shop in Maplewood, Rosemary Weller’s Knit & Stitch. It’s above the movie theatre – a cheerful little space – not huge, but she’s set it up intelligently so that there’s ample room for moving and scoping the yarn and a big table for classes…
I hate Outlook Switching my domain name to modeknit.com involves changing from sweet little Claris Emailer to either Eudora (which I find clunky and a little non-intuitive) or Outlook (which is the spawn of the devil). The main thing I hate about Microsoft is the scorched-and-salted-earth policy whereby they destroy the ability of smaller companies…
Mind? It’s terrible to see a season lose it’s mind – poor Spring – one day 85∫, the next night 35∫ – Spring must be going through menopause. I’m gearing up for classes in Westchester on Monday and at the Connecticut Fiber Festival next weekend – woo hoo! Two of the classes I’m teaching are…
Tie-Dyed Brownies! Today at my daughter’s Brownie meeting (Troop 333) we’ll do part 1 of Tie-Dying. We’ll talk about it, about how dyes color clothes, yarn, etc., and they we’ll each get a T-shirt, some rubber bands and some marbles to tie our own shirts up. I’ll take them all home and next meeting (in…
Would you like to accompany me to Funky-town? And the verdict is – not funky enough. The buyer at Bendels who saw me said, “Oh, I already HAVE a girl who does crochet (?!)” – and, about the hats, “We’re trying to move away from the larger hats… to things that are more funky…” Having…
Speak – SPEAK!! Yep – new layout again. This time the comments should be up so leave a message! Well, I’m as nervous as I probably should be. I’m all packed up for tomorrow, my ride’s coming at 5 am (she is angelic to be the driver…) and I have my price lists (with SKU…
No comment I changed my format. Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to make the yakks code work with these new digs, so the blog, it is a changin’ I didn’t get that many comments anyway. Maybe it’s a relief? If you’re dying to make a comment you can email me Burn, baby, burn!
Let’s plant rice! My backyard is a paddy. The water is just standing – wet – and it’s still raining. I put the lawn furniture out a few weeks ago when we had a fake Spring, now it’s paddy-Oh! furniture. Apparently the sleeve pattern for the raccoon Jacket in IK is not exactly correct. I’m…
