5 Years Ago Today… I delivered my beautiful, bouncing baby boy – 11 pound Maxie! And, just to answer any questions; 1) No, I didn’t have gestational diabetes, I’m 6′ tall so I have big kids – and 2) I didn’t have any meds (because I’m insane!) Today will be a celebration all day –…

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!
FIRE! There’s a huge fire just up the street from us – 2 miles away and the smoke is hugely visible. It’s in Orange, NJ – we’re in South Orange. It’s been a bad month for fires in NJ. Burn, baby, burn!
My class amazes me I just love my knitting class – they’re so great! Last week I threw cabling at them, not reall expecting all of them to get it, not really expecting MOST of them to get it – but they came through! You should have seen what Jen and Athena did (well, they…
What up? I’ve posted to blogger for a couple of days, but for some unknown reason it’s not updating. How annoying. Hannah knit 5 rows on a Lionbrand Chenille scarf that she’s making for herself last night. She took the knitting to bed and when I went in to kiss her goodnight she said, “When…
So very, very cold… I watched the DATELINE last night about the boatload of explorers who got trapped up in the Arctic in 1914. The cheese factor in Dateline is so fabulous – just like UNSOLVED MYSTERIES – jeez, I wish I had cable so I could see it every now and then! Anyway, these…
Cool Beads! Check THIS out for some fun! And – this just in – – – I just received some really nice comments from a yarn company design head. Not a guarantee that I’ll be selling any designs to them in this go-round, but when the “committee” meets (it sounds so official) I think I’ll…
Too cold to do much Man, it’s FREEZING here. The Hudson river is frozen almost down to Manhattan – now THAT’S cold! I am bouncing between several different projects – some theatrical, some editorial, some just plain personal, but in the middle of it all I’ve FINALLY put up some wire jewelry for sale. Thanks…
Trouble Connecting We had to switch from Direct TV DSL to Verizon DSL today because Direct TV’s gone out of business (or, at least their DSL division has…) so I’m writing from my husband’s laptop. He has a router that we had been using to split our DSL signal among the several computers in our…
Swimming in an Ocean of Fiber My life is full of coincidences – good and bad (mostly good) – and this week has been another example of wacky similarities. Several friends wrote to me on the same day asking “How did you become a knit designer?” Here’s a brief history of my life in fiber;…
I’m in love… I’ve just finished swatching a bunch of designs for a few yarn companies – still have one company to go – but I wanted to mention a yarn that I had taken for granted before that really has me excited (in a very calm way…) I love Follies by Classic Elite. This…
