Another Inspiring Class We don’t drink at our classes, but if someone were passing by last night they would have thought we were all a little tipsy. What a fun class! I’m amazed and so impressed by the work of my students – even the ones who aren’t making a ton of progress on their…

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!
Bronchitis… I think. When you have kids, you just seem to be sick all the time (well, someone in the household tends to be ill at any given time in the winter!) And this has been a VERY cooped-up winter – lots of inside interaction with friends, inside playdates – not a lot of outside…
Arrrrgh-chives Can ANYONE help me figure out these darned archives?? They’re making me MENTAL! I have so much work in front of me – and a cold is coming on (hot tea! echinacia!) The IK sweater is coming along well, I love the Muench Merino Soft so much! What fun it is to knit –…
Open House? Too Wet! Today was the open house at the Newark Museum for the arts classes they’ll be offering this Spring. As I’m going to be teaching the knitting class (that is, if they get enough students!) I was there to work my knittin’ magic and convince folks to come and learn the fine…
Tired – disheartened… It’s always a bummer to get a box of designs back from a yarn co – not one design taken. Especially when the design editor had emailed me with incredibly glowing comments about the designs two days after I sent them in… Oh, well – design by committee- what are you going…
And now a break from our previously scheduled commerical… Oy – I was looking over the last few entries and I apologize for the commercial tone they’ve taken! I’m so excited by the ease of the shopping cart, etc., new products that I carry that into parts of my life that I should try to…
BRACE Yourself! They’re Uuuuuu-uuuuup! Copper, Gold or Silver Wire Braceletswith Semi Precious Stones Hand made, with hand-worked findings (closures) that are almost more interesting than the bracelets! Available in 3 sizes! Burn, baby, burn!
Shopping Cart!!! I’ve added a shopping cart to my site (isn’t this just the most exciting thing?) and later tonight I’ll be adding some pretty cool copper & semi-precious stone bracelets. Isn’t life grand? Burn, baby, burn!
Black Dog/White Snow My poor Standard Poodle, Atticus, was dazed and confused by the white stuff this morning. Here in Central NJ (actually, 18 miles west of Midtown Manhattan and right outside of Newark) we have a tendancy to get hit hard. I don’t know why, but usually when there’s snow around us we get…
Limited Time Offer..! As I mentioned on Friday, I’ve decided to start offering patterns online for sale – well, patterns other than the millinery and furniture which, cool as it is, has a very limited audience. I’d like to offer stuff that is more accessible. Also, to be quite honest, I design so much great…
