One up, one down… Another batch of sketches returned. Hate that. Especially when they only return 2 of the 12 submissions along with a ‘thanks but no thanks’ letter. The truth is, there are SO many rejections for each acceptance. I think the testosterone helps me deal with this. On a good note, though, I…

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!
This just in… I just saw Staceyjoy’s blog and HAD to post this pic of my own little chicken eating her peep The blue ones are the best… Burn, baby, burn!
Insurance – or lack thereof… There was a piece on NBC this morning about the uninsured. In the piece they mentioned that many folks think that the uninsured are those who don’t work. Allow me to introduce myself – I am uninsured, and I work. At least our kids are covered – but that’s tentative….
” . . . and I’m a natch’rall man. . .” We have a copy of the Rabbit Ears Radio production of John Henry and I, personally, love it. Fortunately, so does my son, Maxie. He and I listen to it all the time. The very amusing aspect is hearing my 5 year old with…
Que Pense? I’ve been fiddling around with hand dying and painting for a while (in my spare time) and here’s a swatch of some of my stuff. Calling it a colorway sounds too grand (even without the “u”) but I call this combination of colors “Summer Day” Summer Day – Wishful Thinking?? Burn, baby, burn!
More Students! I just finished a GREAT first class – quite small, but really wonderful! One of my students from my Tuesday evening class brought two friends and have created their OWN Wednesday afternoon class. Of course, this would be the day that: 1. My husband’s car breaks down 2. He has to be in…
Peggy Phlegm I got really smart and thought I’d make the kids a skating rink in our backyard. What kind of moron am I? (wait, don’t answer that…) Now, if I could KNIT the skating rink… It might help if I’d actually made the rink when it was FREEZING instead of the day before our…
Day of Knit Instruction Yesterday turned into a teach-a-thon! It ended up being a long day, but a really nice one. One of my students from my Tuesday evening Baird class came by for some extra cabling help (she’s doing so well, she walked in with a long, beautiful faux-brioche stitch scarf that she made…
Face to face I had two meetings with fellow bloggers this week – I love seeing these new friends that I’ve made online. Last night Marilyn (aka The Knitting Curmudgeon) and I met at B&N for some coffee and kniting chat. She’s so great – such a good knitter (Achim is a very lucky guy…
More Snow..? We’re so sad today because Fred Rogers has passed on. I worked on an episode of his show way back in 1989 – I painted some shoes for Tommy Tune who appeared on the show as a giant. I was a student at Carnegie Mellon (THAT lasted about a semester) at the time….
